Anyone know where this happened?

One of the truly great Razorbacks. Praying for this hero dad.

He was definitely a hoss and helped put some hurtin on LSU. I hope he makes a good recovery and gets back to his kids.

Morpheus•36 months

Interested in hearing this story. Sounds like dude fought till literally almost death. Amazing

POTUS2024•36 months

Good for this guy, hope he continues to improve.

Trying to rescue someone swept out in the ocean is just about suicidal. I'm sure Peyton didn't hesitate and he is lucky to still be alive, though there is still some fighting left.

It was his own kids. I think most fathers would risk it all for their kids. I know I would. Praying for him

BoogaBear•36 months

I don't screw around with the ocean, if my kids get their feet wet they have a life vest on. They hate me for it at the time but deal with it. The best of swimmers are no match for a rip current (not assuming that's what it was)

TheRouxGuru•36 months

I’d die for my own kids right now. Hell, I’d even put my life on the line for my best friend’s children

I sat in the stands and watched him beast out all over the field in the 3ot game. McFadden and Jones were both good that day too, but Hillis was the difference.

That was a crazy solid backfield. The only others I know that were that deep was a few Saban coached Bama teams(always stacked deep) and Auburn when they had Brown, Cadillac, and Brandon Jacobs.

Prayers to him and his family. Hope his kids are okay too. He was a baller and a true football player.

It’s always an uncle in these situations speaking on behalf of everyone

LSUSkip•36 months

I think given the situation that I wouldn't expect my wife,kids,parents,or brothers and sisters to be the ones talking to the media. Aunt,uncle, or cousins would be the closest to the situation that would be available. Maybe in-laws.

Some of you are sad with your fear and ignorance of the ocean. It is something to be enjoyed, not avoided.

PeleofAnalytics•36 months

That's a good way to spread understanding. Open up with calling people sad and ignorant.
