Booster Young found dead

Alabama booster Logan Young was found dead today in his home in Tennessee. No word yet on the cause of death, but the MCA reports that homocide detectives were called to the scene.

Young had suffered health problems for some time, but first signals from Memphis suggest police are investigating possible foul play.

Update -- Memphis TV: Young murdered.

T-News: Young "attacked."

I am so far witholding judgment, but my speculation is that Phil Fulmer sat on him.

This whole thing sounds really bad. An ESPN story said he was dealing with a bunch of cash money -- you have to wonder what he was involved in. I think he might have been involved in something really bad, but I guess we'll have to wait and see what it was.

As gruesome as this appears to be, a part of me is concerned about how this will play out for Alabama. I feel horrible about feeling this way, a man died, but really I hope this doesn't re-open anything to do with The University.

Awful :(

What got me was one of the posts on the Gridscape forum linked above from "Volstud" He was actually one of the witnesses against Logan Young both at his racketeering trial and the NCAA investigation into Alabama's indescretions.
It turned my stomach reading his posts about someone still warm and not even buried. What a piece of work he must be in person.

Rugby players spend a lot of time physical training Compared to other form of sports.I have read the
Rugby laws mentioned on this site. It's a gripping sport which targets the grip strength and the active mindedness of a player. American football and rugby league are also primarily collision sports, but their tackles tend to terminate much more quickly. For professional rugby, players are often chosen on the basis of their size and apparent strength and they develop the skill and power over the passage of time. In modern rugby considerable attention is given to fitness and aerobic conditioning as well as basic weight training.
