CJ Fuller (Clemson RB 2015-17) has died at age 22.   Not a lot of details.    Really sad.

Guh. Sounds like it was during his ACL operation. I've read that a blood clot is implicated. His poor family.

My Dad suffered a stroke due to a clot the day following surgery to remove a kidney.  He was like, I think I had a stroke.   Wiped out his left side motor skills for awhile.

blood clots are scary... my dad battles them in his leg.  He doesn't complain much either, but he knows when he gets them.

There was a pretty good 30 for 30 short about a family of professional wrestlers, a father and like 4 of his sons, that where pretty big in one of the regional circuits (Texas I believe, before the WWF/WWE was a massive juggernaut) and how all but one of the brothers committed suicide at some point.
The Von Erich family. They were huge stars in Texas in the 80s.  I think there were 5 brothers. Mike, David, Kerry, Kevin, and Chris.  As far as I know Kevin is the only one left.  Hard to imagine one family suffering that much heartache.

depression is hereditary... not inconceivable all suffered... we often say "he died of cancer" or "a heart attack got her", but we rarely say "depression killed them" because they commit suicide.... just something to think about, maybe... i'm dang sure no doctor, but it makes sense to me...

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan Athletic Department is saddened to announce that former standout running back Ron Johnson passed away early this morning (Saturday, Nov. 10) following a long battle with Alzheimer's. Johnson was the first African-American football captain for the Wolverines, being selected by his teammates to lead the team during the 1968 season.
Johnson, an All-America halfback for the Wolverines in 1968, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1992.
He still holds Michigan single-game records with 347 yards rushing and five touchdowns against Wisconsin on Nov. 16, 1968. Johnson rushed for 1,391 yards and 19 touchdowns during his All-America season; the 19 rushing TDs are still a single-season school record at U-M.

RIP RJ he was drafted no1 by the Browns played a season then traded to the Giants

Former IU star Eric Anderson died at 48

https://www.indystar.com/story/news/fox59/2018/12/10/eric-anderson-who-played-indiana-university-1992-final-four-has-died-hoosiers/2262565002/

He was kind of an afterthought on that '92 Final 4 team with Cheaney and Bailey and Henderson, but he was really damn good.  In fact that team was really damn good, sort of forgotten in history due to the Laettner/Hurley-Fab 5 Final Four.

Mean Gene Okerlund died today.   What a legend.   One of the most recognizable faces in wrestling history.   He attended UNL for a few years in the journalism school.

RIP Super Dave Osborne as well.

The scene in Curb when he insists on telling Jerry Seinfeld a joke is one of the best moments of that show

It was mentioned in the Bowl Games SOC thread, but probably deserves to be mentioned here. Tyler Trent passed away on NYD.
