Oklahoma LB Austin Box was found dead today at his home. Looks to be a drug overdose. RIP.

It looks like he was addicted to pain killers. Even at the relatively lighter and slower college level the game is very dangerous. RIP.

This is sad news. Any White player dying is bad. It especially hurts the starting demographics of ultra-caste teams like Oklahoma.

mattharper, thanks for letting us know about this. Also, the title of your thread needs editing.

Sorry Reb I missed that.

That was my immediate assumption, considering that he has had several injuries and surgeries during his college career. It is actually frighteningly easy to overdose on oxycontins, which can stop your respiratory system. This guy was a star basketball, baseball and football player. He took Enid to the large school state championship in Oklahoma while playing safety, quarterback and running back. Of course, OU bulked him up into a linebacker. It's a damn shame.
