There is really almost nothing to good to take from the death of Ted Agu, save one: The Cal Family coming together and appreciating a wonderful individual. If you wanted a little thing to remember Ted by, Cal Athletics put something quite wonderful together that will hopefully be part of the Cal uniforms this season.
Hundreds of Tweets poured in from all over. This is a handful of the many.
