I just read on another site he has passed away a few months ago (and since he is one of the few people I actually know their identity -- I confirmed it by searching for his obituary).

I used to post here a lot from around 2000 to 2005. I always enjoyed his verbal thrashings of rivals, even as a Longhorn. Guy was a Texags legend and very funny. In any event, I am truly sorry to hear of his passing.

Wow. Sad news, indeed.
What a year.
R.I.P. B.I.

He was a legend. Here.

I hope this is wrong.

Are there any more details we can get without outing someone unnecessarily?

It is true, but I wish it was not. I am sure some other Ags who knew BI on here can confirm. Obviously I don't expect any trust from my Rookie account and the fact I have not posted here in a long time.

I just saw it on another board. And noticed no one had posted about it here. BI's posts gave me a lot of laughs years ago when I posted here. He skewered me a couple times too. I am truly sad about his passing. Guy was a legend here and in the Longhorn-Aggie internet wars from back in the day, and I thought his passing should be noted.

Awful news if true!!

I loved the guy's fire.

Here for brother BI.

Very sad and RIP 13-0. I was raiderjay and recently changed my username but loved bantering with him back in the day.

Prayers to his family and friends

BI may have seemed slightly grumpy at times, but in real life he was a kind man. His absence on TA has given it a totally different personality.

I can confirm. Rest In Peace buddy.

Son of a gun is owning t sips in heaven.

So my Brandi story (which some know):

I was at a client in Houston in the early 00's. The controller was a good Ag who knew I posted here. He didn't know my user name. There was a paralegal there who was an Ag….odd dude. Used to run the stairs after work. Would pose in the mirror in the men's room.

One day the Aggie controller said "did you see Tom (the paralegal) challenged some guy to fight and the YMCA down the road on Texags?" I hadn't seen the thread yet. I said "wait who is Tom on Texags." He said "13 0 Branding Iron." You could've knocked me over with a feather. After that this guy and I would share laughs whenever he posted some crazy ****

He was 100 mph all the time. But a genuine guy. Heard later on from some people who knew him. He had a unique upraising with an older father I believe. Great Ag. He will be missed. Especially on here. Rest In Peace, Brandi. Thanks for the laughs.

I did most of my posting on this forum many, many years ago, before Jorts and NAS, back when PaulAg01 and BQ were the kids of the group. Branding Iron was already a legend then, and spent many years owning sips and raiders after that. Not many still around for those days - Bohunk, LonghornDub, maybe a few more. Never knew him in real life, always figured he was a different duck . . . but funny as ****.

RIP to the legend himself!
