It is unfortunate that we have to start off "Tweets of the Week" on a somber note, but I feel we owe it to the memory of Earle Bruce to do so. If these tweets show anything, it's that Bruce touched the lives of many in the Ohio State family.
Our thoughts are with the Bruce family as we remember the life of a great Buckeye and man, Coach Earle Bruce.https://t.co/RZKpCCyTU4 pic.twitter.com/fRyv06njYm

Today, we've lost a member of our band family. Earle Bruce was one of TBDBITL's greatest fans, and we continue to be inspired by him. Our hearts are with the Bruce family. pic.twitter.com/AW5oXJnCav

Saddened at the passing of Earle Bruce. He was one of CFBs great characters. He followed Woody Hayes and while smaller in stature was a larger than life personality! Ill always recall his last W for the Buckeyes being carried off the field. Born to Coach on to Northern Iowa.

Rest In Heaven Coach Bruce, it was an absolute HONOR to work with you for two years at 610am. Those times were some of my most memorable Buckeye memories. Don't think you knew how much that meant to a young kid from the Southside of Springfield, Oh

I was sitting with Jerry Hanlon, former U of M assistant at an awards dinner. He would later drive me to Ann Arbor for my visit. Coach Bruce was the keynote speaker and said, "Ohio fullbacks should stay in Ohio and play at Ohio State." It was a long ride to Ann Arbor. RIP Coach. pic.twitter.com/PTxGAmshSR

I have never been to an NHL game, but Demetrius Knox did last night and seemed to enjoy himself, despite the local team not performing very well.
