    WTF? I had no idea. Had he been gravely ill? Or was this sudden?

    Can we send Jarvis Varnado to his funeral to sit there, expressionless, and not recognizing that this is a momentous occasion?

    Can?t believe some people hold a grudge against someone because of 1 event. The man is dead, who cares what he did to a player sometimes life is more important than sports. I bet Jarvis isn?t saying that about Slive tonight.

    I thought it was funny.

    Death is a part of life. It sucks and I feel for his friends and family but I'm not goin to be all pretentious and act like someone is above any ridicule because they have passed on. When I'm gone I hope everybody is cracking jokes...and I'm sure most will be at my expense.

    If I remember correctly he was diagnosed with cancer late in his tenure.

    Amen, brother, I agree. Here's how it should be done IMHO:

    NSFW due to language.

    Mike Slive was definitely not a friend of Mississippi State but he is largely responsible for the giant check we receive from the SEC each year so for that I am thankful to him.
