Patterson Dies At 73



Sad news today out of Louisiana, where former Louisiana Tech coach Pat "Gravy" Patterson died after fatally shooting his ailing 71-year-old wife and then himself, according to reports. Patterson is a member of the school’s athletics hall of fame who led the Bulldogs to seven regional appearances in his 23-year tenure before retiring in 1990. His wife, Glenda, was suffering from Alzheimer’s and had been living in an assisted-living facility outside of Ruston, La., for the last month.
