    This is sad news indeed. I feel for the family, to lose your patriarch and rock is hard for the children to deal with. R.I.P. Mr. Outzen.

    So sad. And way too close to my age. Ugh. Handed us a painful loss. I hope they play Alice In Chains “rooster” at his funeral set to all of his best highlights.

    Marcus was a good friend who lived down the street from me. A tragedy for sure as he leaves behind a wife and 3 young children. I could never imagine while watching him beat us, that we'd one day be buddies. Will miss Marcus tremendously.

    PS. His oldest kid is a great athlete....we will be hearing from him in a few years.

    Condolences and prayers to the family. Left us kind of early but certainly left his footprint.

    RIP to the Rooster and condolences to his family and loved ones.

    I can't believe that game was 26 years ago. I feel old.
