I know this guy was a dawg, but he was a college football tradition for them, and hate a team or not, I always hate hearing of deaths like this. He was 65.

Seen him on tv for years. Always looked like his blood pressure was sky rocketing and he was about to have a coronary.

That's pretty much what did him in - no surprise though as it's the likely demise for the majority of us, sooner or later.
Woods also underwent triple bypass surgery in 2015 after suffering a heart attack.

Perhaps, some of you/us should take note.

No doubt. My brother had quadruple bypass at 52. I'm 52 now and saw the doc about my heart a couple of years ago after my brother's troubles. I've got some minor blockage (had electron-beam tomography (EBT) to diagnose) and had a history of high cholesterol from annual physicals (basically, I got bad genes). I've always been tall, thin and stayed active playing sports, riding bikes, etc. Now on Lipitor, aspirin and Omega-3, combined with low sugar/carb diet, for about a year and a half. Lost 20 pounds that I didn't even know I had and dropped cholesterol levels drastically. I'm basically 6'2" and 180 pounds of bone and gristle.

I really meant no disrespect to him. As you said, once we get to a certain age we better take care.

Where's 812 when you need him?

Correct - I remember seeing him.
Or maybe it was the uga/buttchugger game?
They pretty much showed him at every uga game I think

Comeon prolly half the UGA fans look like him-there were two on the end of the aisle behind me this year, both weighed at least 350, sunburned drunker than cooter brown and both passed out, one leaning one way, the other guy leaning the other out into the aisle leading down. When he finally came to, he started hollerin making all sorts of noise. It was hilarious.
