The article ends with

 

There are no words when there is a tragedy such as this. Our prayers go out to the Hilinski family

 

That pretty much sums it up ... Poor kid, what a sad and tragic turn of events

 

RIP Tyler

Horrible news. RIP

 

:rose:

 

I remember him from the bowl game against Michigan State. He was in there in place of their starter and they couldnt get anything going, which is very unusual for a Mike Leach offense. I wonder if that, or the pressure to be "the guy" got to him. And Leach isn't exactly known for being sympathetic.

 

But it's futile to speculate; it's a horrible story.

Really sad when someone so young with so much going for them does this. Young people don't have the life experience to see the long-term potential that's beyond the immediate problems they're dealing with. Condolences to the family who must be heartbroken.
