Very sad to hear this. Especially at probably his last Christmas with his family.

Never cared for that guy as I am a Trump supporter but hate seeing anyone having to deal with something like that.

I feel like our football issues have a lot to do with the leadership vacuum that occurred when Ben abruptly resigned because of his wife’s health
(or something else). That void at the top let Stricklin screw this program up immensely.

Sucks for the family to have so many health issues.

Not sure what exactly happened there but didn't he leave right after a big stink about wasting a lot of money. I know the wife stuff happened but I remember he was getting hammered over stuff he was spending a lot of money on.

Still bad dealing with all this. I have like many others myself with family and friends but havent had a big heath scare yet myself.

As am I a Trump supporter but I try not to judge people on their political beliefs unless they are extreme. To far on either side left or right can hurt a ton of people as Hitler and Stalin proved.

I hate seeing that happen to anyone but he is no different than some other GOPe crooks imo. That spending scandal didn't surprise me at all that led to him leaving UF as he is the definition of cocktail club republican.

Big 3 for no hope

Brain Tumor (gliablastoma)
Pancreatic Cancer
?? (forgot the third)

LOVE or HATE anyone, we should keep them in our prayers and remember they will have a family that will survive the end of this life.

He just wasn’t a big enough level fraud to be a Dim. You have to steal in the millions to qualify for that club!
