Just tragic
Wasn't it Bo thar helped orchestrate that special play, back n in the day? One of his finest hours.
It totally caught on too. Other schools would do similar things, it was really amazing.
R.I.P Jack.It wasn’t Bo’s idea but it was proposed to him and he agreed to it. Support staff set it up.
Rest in Peace young Jack. This just seems so unfair. The wife works in the oncology unit at the Children’s Hospital here in STL. Those kids are fighters and my heroes. Jack is my hero.
Rex should get most of the credit here. He was heavily involved with Jack and his family.
Childhood cancer has to be the worst. They kids are cheated out of so much and they rarely get to know what feeling good is. Watching those st Jude commercials etc make me so thankful that my kids and grandkids are healthy....knock on wood
Jack and that family really touched Nebraska and its people and those outside of the Husker family and fandom. I hope to God something positive comes from the research they helped raise dollars for and their losses can have some of the sting fade some day. Prayers to his family.
This is a crushing day for Husker Nation. Keeping Jack and his father in my prayers. Please pray for Jack’s mother and siblings.
I have his football card sitting amongst my Nebraska memorabilia.
Maybe Nebraska fans can consider making a donation to Team Jack in his honor. I will make a donation tonight.

Losing a child is the absolute worst soul-crushing thing that could happen. When I was around 30 a good friend lost is 12 y/o son to a car-bike accident. I tried talking to my friend for hours and hours afterwards but he just wasn't there. Became an alcoholic, addict, divorced and disappeared. Some people can tap a well of strength and move on with life. He just couldn't. I'll say a novena for his mom because Jack doesn't need my prayers. He's finally pain and worry free.
Might I suggest for those of us that have Husker flags that we fly on game days…let’s fly them tomorrow for Jack and his family.

Nice article from ESPN.
Flying a Husker flag in honor of Jack is a great idea.
Watching that video of Jack's TD was more than I could handle emotionally today.

I just heard that he passed. I searched for anything else to provide info and couldn't find anything. So, I posted it anyways. I knew how this board felt about Jack. I'm sad with the news along with everyone else.
My late wife had aggressive ovarian cancer at 14. She wasn't supposed to make it. Through chemo and surgery, she went into remission. Lots of health issues throughout her life and then it came back as a mutation when she was 40. It is what it is.
