What a phenomenal tight end he was. Those were some glorious years in URI football history.

Very sad, RIP Brian.
Maybe I'm just cynical but asking for 25k to be donated for a funeral seems kind of odd to me...

RIP Frosty!!!! For those of you who never got to see him play he was "Gronk" way before today's Gronk. He used to be triple teamed and still catch the ball and run. Best games was against Brown after Hurricane Gloria!!!

Re: more sad news re. FB
I remember Brian Forster very well.
He was a big part of the most fun, and greatest
years in URI football history.
Forster was tough, and a prolific pass catcher.
URI's offense was a forerunner to today's
pass happy football.

Re: more sad news re. FB
Good grief,the FB dept. must be reeling.
They say you need recruits from winning programs and Don Bosco fits the bill.
Terrible news.

Re: more sad news re. FB
Nineteen is just starting out. Sad. As for Brian Forster, the Gronk comparisons are apt. Nowhere the same size but very tough. Great hands and route runner. Had NFL skills if not size and speed. Second best tight end ever from Danvers. Mark Bavaro being the first.
