What terrible news! We last saw Rod in Salt Lake City, just after Auburn’s first round tournament win. He was a class act and War Eagle through and through. Prayers for the Bramblett and Tiger families. 🙏 🦅 🐅

Unbelievably sad news. Rod came on with us many times and was one of the great guys we ever talked to. He was one of the great voices in college football. Condolences to the Bramblett and Auburn family

During the 5 years I spent at Auburn, Rod Bramblett, Andy Burcham & myself traveled the SEC together, creating fun memories & forging a lasting bond. Last night, Rod & his wife Paula died tragically. Please keep Rod’s kids & AU in your prayers. I miss my friend already.

I met Rod a handful of times, calling Auburn games over the years. What a really nice man. So professional and welcoming. A very sad day. Can't stop thinking about his kids and family. Please keep his kids in your thoughts and prayers.
