Rickey Dixon, maybe OU's best-ever cornerback, member of the College Football Hall of Fame, died of ALS (suspected to have been induced by multiple concussions) died today at age 53.
great player

headline on HuskerMax:

Rickey Dixon, whose two interceptions helped Oklahoma beat the Huskers in a No. 1-vs.-2 showdown in 1987, has died at age 53 after a lengthy battle with ALS.

ALS has got to be one of the worst ways to go.

A buddy of mine died of Parkinson's in June.  It wasn't a very good sight watching him deteriorate over the last 12 years either.

Kamala died.    Apparently a lot of people misinterpreted 'Kamala',  aka James Harris, as CA. Sen. Kamala Harris.

He was a frightening character/wrestler when I was a kid.   Amazing athleticism in the ring.  Certain, his character wouldn't fly these days.

He had a handler,  made grunting sounds,  the face paint and Ugandan backstory.  Fantastic WWF villain.

If I’m not mistaken diabetes had cost him both legs already.  But yeah, he was a great villain. Scared the shit out of me as a kid.

RIP Midnight Lute

Lute was Tucson. Nothing in the last 40 years could mean as much as he did to Tucson. Glad I was there for part of it. Even if it was towards the end. RIP Coach.

Two former coaches at Iowa who gave their respective programs a rebirth, ironically at the same time, have died over the course of the past nine months. Now together again. RIP Lute and Hayden.

I believe Roy Williams and Eddie Sutton are the only other coaches with 150+ wins at two major conference schools

Just a few days ago I had the urge to watch his James Brown bio flick.  

Obviously, being healthy is better than being unhealthy, but you never know.

Damn, Clifford Robinson dead at 53.

Was a big part in the Pistons' breakout season in 01-02, unfortunately gone before the title team
