No problem and heart felt condolences.

Some one should disclose to the board.

I-AA world will mourn together.

The GSU boards have comments that Erk was in an auto accident and may have passed away.

RIP, and condolences to GSU fans.

I think we should let the GSU fans disclose the news.

My advice, wait for something official from Southern before posting anyting here. But look at some of the post in TSCsports and you'll see why every person in Eagle nation is in utter shock.: smh :

This is one the cases where you definitely don't want to report prematurely

Exactly. We don't know how to say it. Maybe like this:

A famous bald eagle has received wings that will allow him to fly for eternity.

Definitely true, and a really sad day for all of 1-AA, GSU, UGA, Auburn and the State of Georgia. A legend has left us, one of the truly greatest men I ever met.

If someone finds a link, they should post in a new thread.

We are being respectful of our Eagle family members. and that is good.

But it should be posted when somebody finds an article for the AGS Family.

As I posted earlier on my messageboard, I have confirmed with Georgia Southern University officials that Erk Russell passed away. Details will be forthcoming, and the University (not Sports Information) will be releasing a official press release.

The servers at TSCsports.com are being reset, they have been slow and problematic during the past hour. Hopefully our hosting company will get those problems resolved quickly. We've been swamped in the past w/ users, but the user load this morning went through the roof.

My apologies.

Here is the link I read.

Old link- different story, but one that emphasizes this morning what a rough year it is for the GSU community.

I mean out of all the hype and anticipation for this season for Erk to come back to games was going to freaking huge to everyone.

Out of all the thing that have happened since last season.
Sewak getting fired, BVG getting hired, new offense, Craft dies, and now Erk dies!?! :( :( :(
