Hey all, some life news: I will be out of the broadcasting booth this coming weekend & for the next couple of weeks. On January 29th, I was diagnosed with colon cancer as doctors found a large cancerous tumor after a screening. It needed immediate attention. (1/10)

I may have found the most dedicated NDSU fan here in Columbia... This is Don Bares from Dickinson, who drove to Dayton for the game on Wedensday night vs. NC Central and then made the 550 mile trek here for the game tonight against Duke. Nearly 1,800 total miles one way!

One year ago today, during a standard screening, doctors found a large tumor that was later diagnosed as Stage III colon cancer. Please go in for regular check-ups, get recommended screenings and if something doesn't feel right, say something. This is the end of my TED Talk. 🙂
