"It’s been a hard several weeks. Three days before my friend and colleague Bob Holt’s collapse after the Missouri game, I found out I had a tumor and cancer in my throat. I took my first day of seven weeks of radiation and chemotherapy treatment today," he announced on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"Therefore, I won’t have the same presence on the UA beat in the coming weeks. My support group is awesome, and I enter treatment feeling strong and confident. I ask for understanding from our ADG readers during my recovery, and for those who would to lift me in prayer."
