The one thing we all know about Dodge is that he is extremely classy and cares for all of his players from starters down to walk-ons. I would assume a moment silence will occur.

RIP and God Bless the family as they grieve for their young son.

The game tomorrow must seem pretty meaningless to the guys tonight. I know I'm not nearly as excited as I was yesterday. Brings back a lot of memories from when Andrew passed away.

As somebody said earlier...we all die young...some just younger than others. Best wishes to Josh's folks, friends, and teammates.

As a mother that is our worst nightmare, having to bury your child. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I have no kids of my own, but when I mentioned this to my wife, who has 4 from her first marriage (all grown, and all doing well, thank God), she said the same thing. This is such a tragedy for his family and those closest to him. One thing I hope the players can realize is that it's alright to come together in prayer at such times; although I'm not particularly religious, I know that can help.

Ch. 11 news at 10pm had a nice story about Josh. He was to suit up for the UNT game for the first time Saturday and had texted his dad about it earlier. They interviewed some fans at the SLC game tonite where they had a moment of silence for him. Some students there said they would attend the UNT game in his honor. They also interviewed Riley and Coach Dodge, both very classy and Riley said he would dedicate the game to him.

I hate things like this...

So sad, and there is nothing to say really...

My heart goes out his to family...

Football seems so insignificant right now...

Obviously you don't want it to happen like this but I am thinking if anything the boys are going to go out there and give that extra little effort and dedicate the game to Josh.

I really hope the players can rally tomorrow and win it for Josh.

that's horrible news. since having a child, i have realized how sad and tragic it is for a child or a young adult to lose their life. i can't imagine the pain his parents are feeling right now. so sad. my prayers go out to his family and friends.
