Hat Boy Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I certainly feel bad for the kid, but based on the headline, I thought he was dressed as the mascot when it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFB Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I think that the driver must be a Duke fan. But seriously though, I do feel bad for the kid and I hope that he get well soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC97 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Mascot guy is apparently just about gone -- it'll be interesting to hear how this accident happened. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net  "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Apparently, the person driving pulled over immediatly and called 911. His kid was in the car sleeping at the time. No drugs, no alcohol, and from what I've heard, no speeding. Just a tragic event that happens everyday, unfortunatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Clemente Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Sadly, he is now dead.http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/news?slug=ap...p&type=lgnsVery tragic.

sc49erfan15 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I'm saddened. Seriously. I wonder if they'll do anything special to honor him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDR Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Well, I know how we all hate bumping up old threads, but in this case I feel it's warranted. If you haven't seen it already, espn.com has a tremendous and moving piece about Jason Ray, and how from his tragic death, four others were given a new lease on life. Jason was an organ donor, and the story chronicles the intersection of his story with those of the other four men. It's a very well written article, and manages to be both a sad and uplifting story at the same time.ESPN.comAnd, if I could be an issue whore for a minute, if you could take a minute after reading to consider becoming a donor. I don't know how it works in every state, but at least for Illinois, it's so simple: just sign the back of your driver's license.

In South Carolina, you just check a box on your license application (if I remember correctly), then it is noted on the back of your license, as shown below:I also strongly urge everyone to at least think about doing it.

But speaking of the espn.com piece; did nobody else find the front page image of Jason in costume among the clouds to be questionable, at least?

Jimmy! Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 A very touching story. Makes me honored to be an organ donor. "I secretly hope people like that hydroplane into a wall." - Dennis "Big Sexy" Ittner POTD - 7/3/14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
