DesStewart was a true Boiler. He didn't hold back on his feeling and opinions, but he was usually spot-on on many subjects. He frequented the woman's boards way back to the National Championship days. RIP Mr. Stewart.
Yep, those were the dial up days, many great chats with him, especially on the Old Gold Free Press boards. Every now and again we disagreed on some things, never once was it personal, he had a long and storied career. DeStewart was his middle name, never knew this until I saw his obit.
Yeah, that was one of the things I liked about him. He was one of the posters over there who clearly paid attention to the women's team during the Figgs/White/Douglas years.
Yep, those I believe were the dial up days. I remember talking about the huge Erica Valek commit back in the day lol
Valek, Shereka Wright, Lindsey Hicks, Beth Jones, Shalicia Hurns and Cherrise Graham. Kristy Curry's 1st and best recruiting class IMO.. Graham left after a few games and Hurns was gone after her Frosh year. Team went 113-23 in their 4 years here.
Sad news. Passionate boiler. I always enjoyed his posts and very rarely disagreed. Rest in peace. Boiler up!

Des was a font of Big 10, NFL and my favorite, White Sox info. Always enjoyed his writings on here and other boards. He will be missed dearly.
As I remember, Des held some position with the White Sox at one time. I, too, had a number of private conversations with Des particularly regarding Purdue women's basketball. His writings were always well thought out, informative and well-written. Agree that he will be sorely missed.
He was head of marketing for the Sox from 81-89, they had a short mention of his passing in last weeks Chicago Tribune.
