Saw a tweet that we lost a young man recently to caner (26 year old) but could not figure out who it was. RIP

I found it. Again, RIP Joe.

On Tuesday, it was announced that former Purdue LB Joe Gilliam died at the age of 26 due to a rare form of cancer. Gilliam was diagnosed with Grade 4 spinal glioblastoma.

Wow. Sad to hear that. I remember Joe Guilliam playing with a lot of heart at Linebacker. RIP.
