    Does this mean you'll be less of an ahole? :p

    Good luck sir!

    I am home from, surgery for colon cancer. Found on routine lab work and operated within 48 hours. All looks good, but one never knows. Probably be awhile prior to returning to the Skybox!

    BuckeyeT leads the ESPN group with kp running a close 2nd and Don a bit back at 3rd. But kp still has a team to win the Final 4 in UConn while BuckeyeT had Duke

    I feel for ya Don, I had colorectal surgery Dec 15th. Had 11 inches of my sigmoid section removed due to severe diverticulitis complications. About 90 percent rehabbed now, just less an ahole than I was before. :cool: Doc told me that while I was under they looked around, pancreas, liver, etc., and didn't see anything alarming, so I got that going for me. :)

    I'm curious what "routine" blood test detects colon cancer?

    Congratulations, Bobda. I have a feeling this won't be the last time we congratulate you on a national championship in basketball

    I agree Sid, I can't wait and I'm happy for them.......said no one ever! :p:p:p In all seriousness, congrats to our pal Bobda. The folks in Ann Arbor have knocked it out of the park in their last two major sport hires. Considering they've gone from catastrophic melt downs in Juwan and Sherrone and they've done a complete 180. Great coaches and by all accounts great mentors and fine human beings. Oh joy.....;)
