Since you've said you like history lessons, I'll give you a quick one. The first photo is of Don Rogers, the All-American safety for UCLA in the 1980s. He became a star with the Cleveland Browns before dying from a cocaine overdose. He was the brother of UW's Reggie Rogers, who had his own issues at Washington and with the Detroit Lions before he died young as well. Reggie also played basketball and was a forward on the UW team that beat Duke in NCAA tourney in 1984.
I talked to Reggie a few times before he passed and he felt snubbed by the UW. When I spoke to a couple of people I knew inside the athletic department and alumni association, they said he was kept at arm's length because they were concerned about him acting up if they invited him to events, due to substance abuse issues. So I could see both sides of that conversation.

Interesting context. Greg Lewis was talking mournfully on the radio about the family this week of which I knew nothing about thanks
 
Need more info on the Colonel Sanders Bruin Stewin button. I mean what is going on there?

While we are doing Reggie Rogers Ts & Ps, his daughter just passed away at age 35. Played her freshman year at UCLA and then transferred to UW for her remaining 3 seasons.

I actually kept a detail out of my story for concern she would read it about her dad. How horrible.
 
A RB head coach with a RB O Coordinator will stick with the run.

We will lose and Ikaika Malloe will cry tears of Ohana 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
