Butch Trucks from the Allman Brothers Band. He was 69.

Saw that. Most of us grew up with Keith doing games. Whoa Nellie, was his saying. Others I remember were Dick Engberg and Oh, my. Did Verne Lundquist have a go to phrase?

Indeed

No room in our huddle. Sorry.

I think this is Richard Branson's year. He's nuts. I'm in for a hundy.

I think we all missed out on an obvious trend. Next year I expect several of us to pick a Dominican baseball player.

Keith Jackson.

Rose Bowl interview is rough.

Very sad to see him like that. He was the great voice of College football for a long time.

Sad to see Mary Tyler Moore passing today.

Charles Manson will go this year he is due

 

[uconnfan68]

Maybe not "celebrity" per se, but I'll take Alex Honnold. Free climber.

Get dizzy and nauseous just watching that climb. Unreal.

 

[uconnell]

Manson's ushed to the hospital. Why the rush?

 

[Devland]

Mike Connors "Mannix" dead at 91.

 

[Bezzz]

Professor Irwin Corey has passed.

 

[Uconnalliance]

Very sad, I support the Harold-Leever center. My Dad passed away at 75 due to colon cancer. This cancer is on the rise. I wish someone would conduct a study over the increases in chemicals such as round-up and the food we eat. What some people don't know is some of these chemicals are not just on the food but in it as it is absorbed, no amount of cleaning/washing your food will remedy this. My dad had a colonoscopy 6 months later he had another and three weeks after that 1/3 of his colon was removed. Diagnosed stage 3C. But he lived for 7 more years and 6.5 of them were good. Many PHD's talked with him as he was not expected to live 1 year, he would have died at 68. We went to many UConn football games. Three of our original members have passed due to cancer since 2013. Please everyone make sure you get a colonoscopy when you are supposed to. Waiting...may be too late. Sorry for my long response - it's just a sad reminder for me!

Good words man. Sorry for your loss. I too have lost a close friend and a relative to colon cancer.

I lose two points, but I just had to include him for the kids who had no clue who he was.
