If I was dating Giselle Bundchen and she lived in Baghdad, I'd be on the next plane.
My heart just broke a little. Rooster Andrews was quite possibly the raddest little man in the whole universe. I still remember the day that he measured me for my UT letter jacket, his face hovering somewhere around my chest, and that was with him standing on a step stool. Still makes me chuckle.
What a loss. What an adorable soul.
