Prayers for UCLA - Walk-on Wide Receiver Fatally Killed While Crossing Street

[The Duke]

Very tragic news coming out of Los Angeles, as 20 year old walk-on freshmen

Nicholas Pasquale, a UCLA wide receiver was fatally struck while crossing the street early this morning.

​

This obviously will change the tone of next Saturday's game, and thus puts it into perspective that at the end of the day, everything we talk about on this board comes down to one simple thing...it's just a game folks.

From this Husker fan to the UCLA players, coaches, fans, community, and especially for that player's family & friends...we are praying for you, and are so sorry for this tragic loss.

Indeed, and well said. Thoughts and prayers to UCLA.

Sad story. 20 is far too young to die.

Absolutely awful.

Sad story. Prayers for his family, friends, and team mates.

It wasnt a car crash... he was hit by a car. RIP

This is sad, no matter the age. My prayers are with his family and friends. RIP.

Thank you for the correction. I will make the appropriate edits to the title & original post right away. It's just a tragic, tragic story.

Just terrible, I think it would be a very classy move if the stadium gave a moment of silence for him before the game. I don't know how UCLA is going to be able to play or even practice this week.

Wow...this is horrible. Thoughts going to the family in their time of need.

Maybe because I'm getting old or something, but maybe we could do something a little more somber and low-key for the game Saturday to remind folks that football is secondary to life and that we're all on the same proverbial team?

For example, we could eschew the tunnel walk for this game in favor of a soccer-style entrance where the teams come out side by side to show respect for UCLA in this difficult time? Then everyone meet at the 50 for a moment of silence?

I dunno...normally opposing teams wouldn't give two s**ts about this sort of thing...but we're Nebraska, and our abnouxiously high standards for on the field production are only exceeded by our fan standards for conduct and decorum.

Just terrible, I think it would be a very classy move if the stadium gave a moment of silence for him before the game. I don't know how UCLA is going to be able to play or even practice this week.

Good...so I'm not the only one that wants to see us do something nice for UCLA.

This is a terrible tragedy. Prayers sent.

It would be the coolest thing to see the team do something like we did for the Penn State game.

Agreed. I hope it happens

I agree, the Penn State style moment of unity was awesome. Definitely a fitting tribute for such an awful turn of events. My condolences and best wishes to the UCLA team and his family.
