Wow...that's terrible. Really hit home. He was one of my faves and an alum from my undergrad college.

I remember when the Aints ran the 3-4 and had Mills, Rickey Jackson, Vaugh Johnson, and Pat Swilling....

It says something that the Panthers built a statue of him before he even had cancer. Definately sad for all of football, he personified a warrior on the field.

It really choked me up. I knew Sam in HS having played against him several times and my wrestling team wrestling his. He was one hell of a wrestler too. He used to kick the crap out of Bam Bam Bigelow every year. They were in arch rival high schools.

First Panther ever to have his number retired.

Sad story...i know it's four months old...but it's still sad.
