It sucks that the headline of this article seems to place more importance on UGA being without a player, leading readers to believe that maybe he opted out or something. Seems important to let people know from the headline that his dad passed away. Prayers for him and his family.
Deepest condolences, and prayers to the entire Cook Family.
Dang, praying for you and your family young man....2020 needs to be over quick....
I am so sorry for this player's loss and for his family's loss.
I started to read this with a DANGIT, and immediately switched to a daaaaangit. It’s a hard time of year for losses. Speaking from experience there.
very sorry for the loss to the Cook family. 46 years old is too young to die. James and Dalvin will be in my thoughts.
All Dawg fans are "with" you in this time of sorrow. You and your family are our family too. May friends and family find peace in the promise of one day being together again in the next life.
Man, way too young to be losing your father at his age. So very sad.
Yep, I think the headline was a bit misleading. It was implied that maybe he didn't want to play or something like that - there's no "confirming" needed. Football is nothing compared to family.
Lost my dad in October, huge UGA fan. Condolences to James and his family.
