Jim Glatch shares a hilarious moment shared with his fellow Class of 2026 inductee, Buddy Barnes, from a game day in Charlottesville, turning a heated moment on the sideline into a friendship that lasted for years.
 “I’m appreciative of everything he has meant to not just me and my teams, but to the sport.”
