What a sad story. Just 45 years old.

It’s sad RIP but for those who fish please remember to wear a vest. Even in the calm water you will never know.

A life vest is what i meant sorry not a fishing vest. I wear mine while fishing the rivers. You slip and you have waders you can easily drown.

Heard the news yesterday. He was doing commercial real estate and development in the area. Very sad and untimely.

The Sol Duc must be pretty high right now. Not a great place to fish solo. Though even if he was with someone, the wrong slip could be irretrievable. Just cut the line and start over...

How very sad. Lost my 6th grade teacher in a similar fashion. Duck hunting in a boat, wearing waders unfortunately. Boat tipped, lost his balance and you can figure out the rest. Wife and young son were on the shore watching. Only 35 years old. Football coach at Wenatchee high at the time.

He was one of the few Huskies that I actually respected. Dude was a warrior. Pretty fun to watch his flowing locks and reckless abandon. Kind of their Steve Gleason.

The irony is that WSU & Pullman lose either way. If the Pac-12 is saved and expands, in all likelihood it means better viewing options, so more people will stay home and watch on TV. Average attendance probably falls. If the Pac-12 collapses and WSU ends up in the MWC (or similar) viewing options either stay the same or deteriorate a bit...but there's less interest, and average attendance falls.

There's no doubt that financially, the MWC option means a larger short term loss. But either way, WSU's gate receipts and gameday income are likely to fall.

I was thinking something similar, Ob. Definitely Gleason-esque.

I agree. He was a local walk-on from Tacoma. Never called a fair catch as a punt returner. Appeared to be a good guy off the field as well. Just a tragic story.
