all bad ...prayers to the family for the loss

ugh, he died in a church parking lot. That means only one thing to me.

Every kid who is in college because they have unrealistic dreams of the next level should read this.
So few make it and this is too often the result.
The ones who actually study, get an education and a degree, are the ones who really make it.

Cal has Jahvid as our on-site example.

C'mon Son, need to read the whole article...it's very short.

"In 1996, Ross returned to USC to complete his bachelor's degree then moved on to a career in sales and marketing, according to the school."

SR, there's one very crucial word missing from that sentence; "successful". I would guess that the guy probably struggled with severe cognitive issues, and maybe more. Not many in sales can make a killing with the handicaps he had. I hate to speculate, but looking in the mirror at 45 years old, knowing you have a college degree but are not getting it done in the sales world could do more than stop someone's heart. I hope it was just a tragic early death, and not something more sad and startling.

Kind of like guns and shooting of innocents. It's sad, but we all know nothing is going to change.
