    I didn’t see this elsewhere, but he collapsed Saturday going back to the press box at Mizzou after the postgame interviews.

    He’s not doing very well. I get the impression he’s not going to make it.

    Edit: Bob died Wednesday night.

    If he had to climb up to where press row is now, he'd damn near need a Sherpa and oxygen.

    Best wishes, Bob.

    An institution for Razorback coverage. Best wishes.

    That's terrible. Bob is one of my favorite humans in journalism.

    The word you wouldn't want to hear in this situation is starting to trickle out.

    Such an amazing tribute. Only shared a few press boxes and press conferences with him, but Casagrande really nailed it - it was impossible to dislike him.

    RIP.
