I'm Facebook friends with a handful of folks that I've met in real life. Burny, Fearless, MDT, UTerin, Razorchic, TigerKing.  I think that's it.

Calvin. Jones,  RIP. one of the two 'we' backs along with Derek Brown in the early 90s at Nebraska.   Poor guy was 54,  died of carbon monoxide poisoning.  Apparently running generator as his furnace had blown out 

Jones was blazing fast.  I remember some 7 carry 180+ yard line game he had.

Omaha Central HS alum.  Gale Sayers, Ahman Green, Keith Jones.   Helluva RB room at that high school.

Dick Button RIP.   Yes, I realize he was known as a TV figure skating announcer, but he was an outstanding analyst on TV.    Decorated career in a lot of areas.

RIP Tulsa WR Howard Twilley.....Heisman runner-up in 1965.  At Tulsa.  

Any college football historian/stats nerd knows the name, because he's impossible to miss when poring over the numbers.

Here's a good way to look at him:  the most productive college WR between Don Hutson (1934) and Jerry Rice (1984).

I think that does him justice.
