People really need to heed the local flag warnings and stay out of the water, the rip tides right now are no joke.

His family is from I believe Batesville, Arkansas.
He grew up a hog fan and wanted to go to Arkansas but he didn't want to play under Houston Nutt who didn't develop QBs. So he went to Michigan.
He stayed a year but Petrino got hired and transferred to Arkansas in 2008.

Lincoln Ar is where he was before they moved to Texarkana. I dont think they were ever in Batesville, but, I could be wrong.

He was born in Batesville but I think the family did move to Lincoln.

There were over 30 water rescues in PCB the other day. It’s been bad.
I know there were two others that drowned last week around Majestic Sun in Destin, and multiple other water rescues.

RIP. Was a great college quarterback and fun to watch.

This sounds like it was a red flag.
Flags were yellow today and I think that gave thousands of people false security. It’s still dangerous and can easily take you under. I drive the beach every single day, and see people on the water on red flags all the time. It’s idiotic.

I read that a man from Tennessee drowned in either Destin or PCB the other day. Apparently there were double red flags that day. His wife was floundering in the water and he tried to save her, but he ended up going under while she survived.

A retired Fire Fighter from Georgia died saving 2 young girls in distress.
The young girls survived....he lost his life doing what he was trained to do.
Too many such stories from these last 2 weeks.

That's horrible. Prayers to his family and friends.
Just read where Peyton Hillis nearly died earlier this year saving his two kids from drowning as a result of a rip current. Also found out that one of my friend's childhood friends died from drowning five days ago on the Florida Gulf Coast.
I've lived just outside of Gulf Shores the past 15 years and while you hear of the occasional drowning every now and then they typically happen in very rough surf conditions. Unfortunately once ever few years or so you get a spring and summer season where the rip currents are really bad down her and this year has been one of the worst in a long time along the northern Gulf Coast. Rip currents are particularly scary because they a lot of the most dangerous rip current conditions occur in seemingly normal looking surf conditions.

We live just up the road in Spanish Fort, rip currents have been a problem this year. I believe I read something like 10 people have drowned in the last 2 weeks. Tragedy for the families

I first heard of him in high school. He was an elite QB prospect and five star recruit. I just looked up his class. Jimmy Clausen and Joe McNight were the two biggest names at the time in that 2007 class.
Eric Berry, Cam Newton, Aaron Hernandez, Dez Bryant, Everson Griffen, and Stephen Garcia are some others that were blue chippers that year.
