Washington St. Cougars (Official Thread)

Tragic.

Obviously I didn't know Tyler, what he's been through, or what was in his head. I will say that with mental illness that ending up on the ledge is not always that difficult, especially if you've already been there before. Whenever something like this happens people post the hotline number, tell you to see a therapist, talk to your friends, talk to your family, "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem", "it gets better." I get that response. Sometimes that is all it takes, sometimes it can be prevented, people have been saved and gone on to live wonderful lives. However, and it might be hard for people that haven't been there to understand, but...the answer isn't always there, no matter how many people you talk to or how many pills you take. You could easily look at this kid and think he has a lot going for him; 21 years old, starting quarterback at a D-1 school, getting his degree soon, presumably has a lot of people that love him and want him around. Fortunately most don't end up in a place where nothing matters and they just want to check out of the game.

RIP

It's always easy, looking in from the outside, to imagine there's a fix for other people's condition.

Some of us just learn to live with our open wounds. For some, the decision is that it's not worth it. They're the only ones who know what they do and do not wish to endure.

Hope he's found his way home.

As the country continues to come to grips with the coronavirus pandemic, the extended Washington State football family is coming to grips with a tragedy of its own.

The Pullman (Wash.) Police Department confirmed to the Spokane Spokesman-Review that Washington State football player Bryce Beekman passed away Tuesday night. Beekman was just 22 years of age.

No details surrounding Beekman’s death have been detailed. And, as of this posting, no Wazzu official has commented publicly on Beekman’s passing.

The safety’s teammates, though, took to Twitter early Wednesday morning to share their thoughts.

Washington State WR Brandon Gray in serious but stable condition after being shot in Pullman

Washington State wide receiver Brandon Gray was shot in Pullman early Saturday morning and is in serious but stable condition at a Spokane hospital, according to police and WSU officials.

Another man, Liban Barre, 23, was killed in the shooting, which took place at a house party near campus, according to Pullman police.

"We are aware of an incident involving WSU football student-athlete Brandon Gray that occurred last night in Pullman," WSU athletic director Pat Chun said in a statement. "Brandon was transported to a Spokane hospital where he is in serious but stable condition. Our thoughts and prayers are with Brandon and his family and friends. As this remains an open police investigation, we are not able to comment further at this time."

Police were called at roughly 12:30 a.m., after getting reports of a loud party with possibly 200 people. Just as officers were arriving, they heard multiple gunshots. Barre was pronounced dead at Pullman Regional Hospital, while Gray was flown to Spokane.

George Melvin Harris III, 23, was arrested and charged with second-degree assault Saturday morning in Pullman and the investigation is ongoing, according to police.

Bump... Pat Chun said this when he hired Nick Rolovich in 2020:

“We set a goal of bringing the best coach possible to Washington State University,” said Chun. “Nick Rolovich is a genuine person, a program builder, an innovator and the exact fit to lead Cougar Football. Coach Rolovich is committed to academic achievement and developing every aspect of our student-athletes. He has a vision of taking Cougar Football on a path to win championships. We are fortunate to have Nick lead our program and we welcome his wife Analea, along with their daughter Alana and sons Daniel, William and Patrick to the Cougar Family.”

Clearly this man has been dead-set on firing his renegade head coach from the start.

Life comes at you fast, Nick.

Although in fairness to Nick, when you've put a team together that has players getting shot and dying from to much happy juice in their arms, I think he really was trying.
