:cry: What a shock! My God be with him and his family. PH and I were hoping to meet him this football season. There are no words to state how PH and I feel about losing a BGP family member.

I thought this was a little ironic, and somehow very fitting. These were LSURock's final two posts on BGP:

 

 

If you haven't been to Baton Rouge on a fall Saturday night you haven't truly experienced SEC football. It is an event.

 

AND

 

Could someone post X's schedule? Varsity, JV and Frosh if possible.

I hate heart attacks....my grandfater died that way in 2002 . . . just makes you think, WHAT IF?

I lost both of my maternal grandparents that way, and while it's always a shock, I believe it's the best way to go. To stay active, and enjoy life up till the very last minute. It's the way I hope I go.

Although I've been working in Michigan for the past year, I read BGP everyday to keep up. To read this news about this man has bothered me immensely. I'm only a year younger than him, but have experienced a heart attack at age 37 and quadruple bypass a year and a half ago at the end of my youngest son's senior football season at Conner. His death has really reminded me of how fortunate I am that God has chosen to spare me so far.

 

When I first signed up for BGP back in 2001, LSURock infuritated me to no end. But, then I began to try and pay close attention to what he was saying. That along with the heart surgery (that changed a lot of my ways of looking at life) helped me to begin to understand what he was saying. I had the utmost respect for him because he was right with his posts and truly believed what he was saying.

 

As a final tribute to LSU, you other guys out there in your late 30's and 40's need to listen to your bodies. If your chest is hurting you, there is likely something wrong. Our health care industry can fix it but only if you go check it out!

 

My prayer is that God will hold his family and loved ones in his hands and comfort them in this time of mourning. Heaven has now indeed become an even more lively place with the addition of this caring gentleman.

 

RIP, LSU! We will miss you!

Very sorry to learn of his passing. Our family will keep him and his family and friends in our prayers.

This is a great post. It also applies to the women out there. For women it can be a little more sutle, maybe a few days of an annoying pain in their chest or down their arm. Please, everyone needs to be checked regulary by a Dr. If Dr.'s aren't your thing, at least kick any bad habits and begin eating right. It's a start. And a little exercise wouldn't hurt either. If not for yourself, do it for your loved ones.

thoughts and prayers from Raceland Ram Land

Just heard the news. My thoughts and prayers to his family. My he live in our joyful memory forever... God Bless.

The death of an adversary with whom you have had heated posting confrontations for almost six (6) years affects you in strange ways. Although LSURock and I found common ground less than 5% of the time

My heated battles with LSU were less than 2 years but this statement by you really sums up how I feel and just didn't know how to put it in words. This does it as well as any. Good post Oxnard, I feel the same way.

 

Again, prayers go out from the Rambler to the family and friends of LSURock. May God Bless You in this terrible time of sorrow.

Wow..that is really amazing!

 

It's so nice to see that BGP was such an important part of his life that his family made these displays!

 

Very touching for all of us here, I'm sure.
