After reading this am now feeling shame for how pi**ed I get after particularly frustrating Gopher losses.

That accident was about 20 miles from here in Alex. I was aware of the auto accident but not the river part of the story.

Tragic story.

Thanks for sharing.

These kind of stories always remind me of Leonard Little. A piece of *&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!# human being that, after killing someone while driving drunk, managed to show no remorse and gets pulled for driving drunk again. He ruined a life, yet was able to continue making millions of dollars. Pathetic. The laws have to change.

Losing a loved one is always tough. But I can't even imagine what it's like to lose a young child like that.

Ugh. Awful. And the guy blew a 0.351? Cripes.

No doubt our agony and job for sports wins and losses should always be kept in context. The contrast between a real tragedy and a stupid basketball game where your favorite team laid an egg couldn't be starker.
