OU's Austin Box has been confirmed dead
Linebacker from OU has passed away, it is so sad. He was a great young man.

I dont know, he fought through adversity on the field with injuries during his time at OU. I know a few of Austins friends and they never had anything but good to say about him, so they are pretty devastated.

Drug overdose? Young athletes will never learn.

I wonder where he got the money to buy all the narcotics...

I feel very sorry for his family. This'll leave a hole in their hearts that may never heal.

Ah, I just read that article, and they don't typically use the word "narcotics" when referring to prescription drugs.

In any case, wasn't he the guy who was arrested for urinating in public a couple times?

Yeah he did, but he grew up alot since then. I am sure we have all done something stupid at that age so I am not going to cast any stones.

No stones being cast, I was just trying to remember where I heard that name from.
