Former OU running back Mike Gaddis dies at 50

Former Oklahoma running back Mike Gaddis died Monday at the age of 50, according to News 9's Dean Blevins.

Father Time remains undefeated. 2 generational talents - & that’s a conservative description - painfully unable to finish competition leaving futures in substantial doubt. @TigerWoods has aged 5 years since Augusta conquest. Devastated @serenawilliams tearfully relents. @NEWS9
