Sad to hear of Torrance's passing. I thought that he had potential as a CFL QB but playing behind the likes of Doug Flutie and Jeff Garcia doesn't help a QB get playing time. I recall him finally getting a chance to play in Hamilton but then he was injured and that was it for him.

Here is some more information about Torrance: http://www.calgaryherald.com/sports/Stampeders+Torrance+dead/5982008/story.html

43 -- way too young.

Agreed. Also, thanks Ravi, I had heard about this but hadn't seen the story yet.

Really no news on what happened but it is indeed sad. Ok so I just read the above article link. Heart issues? Man at 43. Sad stuff.

Oh man I just told my wife who's a huge Stamps fan. She told me that we had an autographed picture in the office. I guess you take this stuff for granted. I got up turned around for a look and sure enough there is this beautiful shot of Flutie, Torrance in the middle and Taylor on the right, all signed. They are standing in their uniforms at McMahon. Sad.
