Around SBN: Four TCU Football Players Among 17 Arrested In Drug Ring

Rest In Peace Don

I woke up this morning and was browsing through my UCLA reads and then found one of the toughest new I have ever read as a UCLA fan when seeing this thread about "EZ Beach" who was known as "EZ" on Bruin Report Online. EZ (Don Kramer) passed away.

I have never met EZ but I have been reading his passionate posts about all things UCLA football for years now on BRO. In all my years of following UCLA football and basketball via online communities (I have been member of that community all the way back when BruinReportOnline was part of Rivals.com in 1999).

I have never imagined a football season without reading EZ's takes. He was exuberant, passionate and one of a kind. He was a friend whose takes I needed to read everyday, trying to get a sense of the Bruin zeitgeist.

I can't really describe how stricken I felt while reading that thread.

I am really going to miss you Don.

Have a great time in the blue and gold heaven and hope you get to raise a glass soon celebrating a BCS championship. It is coming BROther. Be sure to be ready for it.

GO BRUINS.

Thanks N ....

I knew EZ fairly well online and off.

Great guy, great Bruin fan.

He really enjoyed the USC rivalry, too and was never one to back down when going toe to toe — in a passionate but friendly way — with the Trojans.

He honestly and truly will be missed.

Go Bruins

Yeah

I still cannot get over the idea I won’t see his posts on BRO. Feel like something has changed.

RIP, EZBeach

I interacted with Don regularly on BRO, and got to meet him at his going away party at BrewCo before he moved to Texas. Great Bruin, even better man. Gonna miss him.
