He died a hero. There's a special place in Heaven for those who give up their lives to save someone else. RIP #94.
A lot of mistakes were made that day that led to his death. To me, the saddest part of the entire ordeal is the preventability of the entire situation. Seatbelts, liefvests, and helmets are the big three!
He said "Hello Mr. Heisman, I'm going to be here all night". Man, I love that guy! Prayers to all his family and friends. The Tigers and the Pats have lost a priceless player and friend.
Here is a video from the NC when Hill made all three tackles in one series to force a punt. [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2Onh0V5xTk[/MEDIA]
Watching Marquise dominate in the LSU Defensive Line was nothing short of spectacular. Even in the BCS National Championship game, he would tackle the RB and then sack Jason White on the very next play. RIP Marquise!!! God Bless The Hill Family. :helmet:
Our prayers are with you Hill family! A true Hero and inspiration to all Tigers and their fans! Published: May 29, 2007 “His presence meant a lot for some of the younger guys. He gave them someone to look up to and he was always there for them,” Bonnette said. “Here’s a 6-foot-6, 300-pound guy, as intimidating as can be, and yet every time you approached him he always welcomed you with big old smile. In between the lines, he had his game-face on, but outside the lines, in the community or in the weight room, he was always smiling and having good time.” http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/7721242.html
Such a tradegy for someone so young to lose his life being heroic to save his female companion. May god bless his family and friends. RIP # 94 Thanks for the memories
