Damn this sucks, I remember Knapp, I think he was with us at one point, I think the driver was a teen on his phone.

He was our offensive coordinator for a few years under Mariucci. He was here for 9 years overall.

I hope it wasn't a teen on the phone. It's bad enough that Knapp lost his life. It would be a hard cross to bear for a teenager. He'll have to live with it for the rest of his life. My uncle hit and killed a drunk that walked out from behind a parked car. He had a hard time getting behind the wheel for years afterward and it wasn't his fault. If it was a kid on the phone he'll probably be charged with reckless endangerment or something like that.

That's right, been so long since the Mooch era. May Mr. Knapp Rest in Peace.

Me 2, but I think that's what ESPN or NFL Network said when the news broke.

Damn this sucks. I know that area a little when I did some road riding with friends. Now I just stick to mountain biking these days as you hear these tragic news more often now. RIP Coach.

As an avid cyclist, and having been hit three times over the last two decades, I can tell everyone this is a worry / something I accept every single time I get on my bike. I am so sorry, and wish the very best for Greg's family.
