OT: OU Linebacker passes away

Thanks for linking

Edit: okay never mind, thanks with no sarcasm now.

very sad to hear. thoughts and prayers go out yo his family, friends and teammates.

on high alert. RIP Austin Box

Uhhh... rest in peace, I really liked his game, it's unbelievable

my heart goes out to his family

Is it just me or has this been happening a lot more often now than before?  Maybe it's because just recently have I become mature enough to be impacted by these kinda of things, but in the history of college athletics, have there been this many current players passing away before?

RIP, brother.

EDIT: Not sure how this was "funny", but I was not trying to make light of a very sad piece of news.  Thanks anyway.

refrain from the euphemisms?  The young man died. He didn't "pass away". Especially relevant when discussing the death of a football player.

Here's a story with some details on Box's passing.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Sooners...22 is too damn young.

Man that's terrible.  I used to have an employee who played for Jenks that used to always brag about breaking his arm in the State Championship.  Box literally carried that Enid team playing both LB and QB.  I felt he could of had a breakout year this year if he stayed healthy.

he and his family

Even one athlete dying young is too many, but it seems to be happening way too often this year.  Condolences to Austin Box's family.

Best wishes to Austin and his family during this time. It seems like the older I get, instead of being better able to process these kinds of things, they just bum me out more. Hopefully, through better oversight, we can reduce the number of deaths and injuries to these young people.
