That is horrible.

Very sad story. My thoughts and prayers go out too his familey and teammates.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Do they know who killed him?

 

[hvwarrior58]

They haven't released any info. A Miami poster on the main Rivals board said that he has heard it was a drive-by around 7 PM.

just saw this on ESPN2 bottom line. He was a senior DE and 2nd team preseason All ACC....no other info

There is also a thread in the sports section. Sad story.

Very sad. Condolences go out to his family, friends and the Canes fans.

Is it remotely possible this has anything to do with the FIU brawl. I doubt it, just throwing it out there.

Where is the FIU campus? Miami?

Well, if anyone in Miami was wondering if the season could be any worse...

Yea, I think these campuses are within 30 miles of each other? I am asking more than I am saying they are. Someone know?

The FIU campus is "across the ocean there."

Awful, awful news. This might go down as the worst year in Miami football history...

I wouldn't go that far... But it is a very troubled program at the moment, that is for sure.

This will probably help their recruiting.

:sad: not sure what to make of that, 'Billy....

A kids dead....this is your first response?

I'm probably misunderstanding.

'billy thinks this will help their street cred.

He may be right, but the comment is wholly tasteless.

This is in keeping with most 'billy posts I have read.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Will wait for more details on this one to throw in comments. Sad day for his family.

I guess he takes the term hillbilly to heart. Pathetic.

I am whole-heartedly ashamed that I wear the same colors as you. If that is all you can say at a time like this, then keep your mouth shut.

I think I speak for the rest of the decent people on this forum by extending my prayers and deepest condolences to the Pata family.

This is certainly no time to think of recruiting advantages Billy, nor is it a time for lighthearted humor.

The kid was only 22 with a chance at a NFL career. It is a sad story indeed. I agree with the above posters on the comment made by Hillbilly.
