Another tragic twist

LSU's 2003 national championship football team brought much joy to the team's fans.

That joy has since brought about a couple of moments of sadness this summer.

First, Marquise Hill drowned. Earlier this week, Dave Peterson died in a motorcycle accident.

Unfortunately, LSU has a history of tragic deaths among its athletes dying young.

If there is any good that can come out of a situation like this it is the realization of the brevity of life.
