Title: Aaron Douglas Post by: CrimsonWing on May 12, 2011, 12:22:18 PM Hearing a lot of bad rumors, anyone know if they are true?
Title: Re: Aaron Douglas Post by: uafan12 on May 12, 2011, 12:24:11 PM one poster on woolyal is saying Tony Basilo is confirming the rumor is true.
Title: Re: Aaron Douglas Post by: uafan12 on May 12, 2011, 12:27:25 PM The rumor right now is Aaron Douglas died late last night or early this morning. It's looking more and more like it's true.
Title: Re: Aaron Douglas Post by: carl childers on May 12, 2011, 12:42:45 PM It has been confirmed with Tony Basilio and the UA Athletic Dept. Very tragic and sad.
Title: Re: Aaron Douglas Post by: uafan12 on May 12, 2011, 12:44:23 PM JHopkins247 Justin Hopkins Sad news has been confirmed recent #Alabama JUCO transfer OT Aaron Douglas has been found dead in Florida. Title: Re: Aaron Douglas Post by: pmull on May 12, 2011, 12:51:21 PM B'ham News and Tuscaloosa News is reporting that the Alabama Atlectic Department has not confirmed his death. Still, this does not look like it will have a good ending.

CBSSports.com Quote It's not like Alabama hasn't already had enough tragedy to deal with in the wake of the recent tornado disaster, which must make today's devastating news all the tougher to face: Tide offensive lineman Aaron Douglas has been found dead in Jacksonville, Fla., the Knoxville News-Sentinel has confirmed after initial reports from Knoxville radio host Tony Basilio.

Title: Re: Aaron Douglas Post by: ricky023 on May 12, 2011, 02:22:36 PM The saddest thing I can see in todays world is the tradgey that our young men and women bring on themselves. They have a lifetime ahead then decide to bring alcohol or drugs or whatever ruins them. These joyful things just brings out laughs until now, and all of a sudden they seem to say this person or that person was to weak. I do pray for his mom and dad because they have to live with this and ask why? God Bless the family. RTR!

Title: Re: Aaron Douglas Post by: cbbama99 on May 12, 2011, 04:21:21 PM Man, the tragedies just keep piling up it seems. First the tornadoes take many lives, including several university students, and now Aaron passes away. My condolences and prayers to the Douglas family during this difficult time.
Title: Re: Aaron Douglas Post by: Marshal Dillon on May 12, 2011, 07:58:14 PM Just a shame, all around. I keep asking myself, how do these young people continue to put themselves in this type of situation with the same results. I still don't have an answer. Title: Re: Aaron Douglas Post by: Chechem on May 13, 2011, 05:52:01 AM Just a shame, all around. I keep asking myself, how do these young people continue to put themselves in this type of situation with the same results. I still don't have an answer. Physiologically it can be explained (hormones, brain chemistry). Psychologically it can be explained (family, personal life, choices). Realistically? I have no idea. Just a terrible waste, and now his family deals with it for the remainder of their lives. |
