How in the heck?!??!?!? Must have had a bad ticker and not known about it? That's a shame. I enjoyed the way his teams played under him.

Just saw on the Charlotte news that coach Prosser had signed an autograph for a young fan as he was jogging, and then dropped dead less that 30 minutes later. What a shock. I just heard it as I was driving home, and I almost ran off of the road when I heard it. A tragic loss for the ACC, college basketball, and college athletics in general. Thoughts and prayers to coach Prosser's family and his players.

Wake fans and students are rolling the quad tonight at midnight in honor of Skip. (For those that don't know, Wake has a tradition of rolling the quad after big wins.) Skip's e-mail always had "See you in the quad" at the end of them.

What a tragedy. His family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Makes you think about how long we'll all live to.

Not to get off subject, but where'd you grow up? I'm the same way as you.
