A very reliable source over on the Houston Rocket's message board just posted that he's been told that Bum Phillips is in really bad shape & might not make it through the night.

I'm too young to have really been an Oilers fan, but Bum's meant so much to the city of Houston over the years. It'll be sad to see him go.

My favorite Bum Phillips moment. It's in the first part of this video.

I met his daughters who used to come down to dances at the Knights of Columbus Hall in El Campo in the 1970s

I will miss Bum, I knew him pretty well. I lived in the Sugarland area in late 80's till 96 and he still lived over in Dewalt just a little south on Hwy 6. Went to his place several times, listened to many great stories. Even though he wasn't great he liked to come out (usually with Earl) and play some casual golf. That was a great time in my life, knowing Bum Phillips.....God Bless, RIP.

I never got to play dominoes with Bum, but back in the 80's I was at State Fairgrounds race track in New Orleans and he took a pizz in in the urinal right next to me.
RIP Bum.

Well - if you knew it was him, I guess you were looking in the right place. :)

I had the pleasure of going to school with one of his daughters. My heart goes out to the entire Phillips' family, Bum was definitely a Houston legend.

Bum was an awesome old school coach. Him coaching and Earl running was a pleasure to watch. Words cannot describe how much I miss the Oilers. RIP BUM
