Dr. J. Robert Cade, who invented the sports drink Gatorade more than 40 years ago to help the University of Florida football team stay hydrated and in turn inspired the multimillion-dollar sports beverage industry, has died. He was 80.

Cade, a medical researcher and kidney specialist who had been in declining health for some time, died Tuesday at Shands, a private hospital at the University of Florida Medical Center in Gainesville, the university announced.

On Nov. 16, Cade attended a ceremony to dedicate a historical marker on campus in honor of "Gatorade's Birthplace . . . the sports drink that started an industry."

I hope he didn't die of dehydration.

Gatorade is the nectar of the Gods!

Hey Gatorade help the Cheating Chiefs win a superbowl.

I hear the Priest is getting a cooler dumped on him at the end of the ceremonies.
