Saw something was up over the weekend. He tweeted and FB posted that he was facing something serious. Now confirmed.
Incredibly solid dude. Not perfect, and got in his own way as a coach, but as Aggie as you can be without the ring.

ETA: Just saw that the “heads up” post from the weekend was at the bottom of the page, with an update. Forgive the redundancy and repetition.

Former Texas A&M football coach R.C. Slocum has been diagnosed with a form of Hodgkin's lymphoma, A&M officials announced Tuesday.
The diagnosis comes after Slocum underwent testing at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Slocum will undergo chemotherapy in College Station to treat his illness, in consultation with M.D. Anderson.
"I have been so encouraged by the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from friends everywhere," Slocum said in a statement. "I have great medical support and I will get started on this challenge as soon as possible. I have a strong faith and will trust for a positive outcome."

He is one of my favorites in the coaching profession, a gentleman and a man’s man. I wish him a speedy and full recovery and many more years of happylife.

Just awful to hear. I pray he beats it.

Sad hope he recovers. Remember him against LSU in the 90s. Hate to hear that.
