just an incredible class move by WMU....

Go Western Michigan this week

I'm fine with the photo, looks candid to me. Most folks post photos online when a baby is born, and that's just as much a part of the human experience as resting a casket in the ground.

RIP to the two young men, lives cut way too short.

I am rooting for Western Michigan this week. What an outstanding tribute!

That is freaking all class. I will now likely pull for Western Michigan going forward! Very nice.

Makes me want to arrange a series with them, even do a 1-1. Said on the radio show last night that the connect was they had also recruited Ben.

Thanks for the info as to why WMU did this Jackie. I would also be cool with a 1-1 with WMU...the move was THAT classy imo.

I believe he was recruited heavily by them before he chose UC.

Has there been any update on the other players involved in that wreck?

Great news on Mark Barr from @Koz_UC: upgraded to stable, but remains in the ICU. "Slow, but stable progress." #Bearcats

Any word on what might be done for Ben at the game Friday?

The Huskies will wear a no. 77 sticker on their helmets this Saturday afternoon in honor of Bearcat offensive lineman Ben Flick. Flick passed away in a single-car crash nearly one month ago at jut 19 years of age.

Nice gesture. I wonder if UConn would have honored Flick if Weist was not head coach? Anyway you look at it, it's a good thing and nice gesture.

I think there is a good chance they would have. They went through the loss of Jasper Howard four years ago, so there are people at UConn who know what it is like for a team to deal with the loss of a current player.

Wonderful to have Mark Barr back in the building today. His recovery continues to go well. pic.twitter.com/qCbOyuGJO2

That is just Great News! I hope Mark continues to improve and gets well!

Wow, a pic is worth a thousand words.

Anybody notice that his left arm is hanging. He did not move it. I hope it is not something permanent.
