Colon cancer.

Crazy. That was the first team I really remember as a kid. Probably was at 75% of the home games back in those days.

I was a senior during that '89 season. The team won the SEC regular season title that year. President Bush even mentioned them in his speech at Scott Field.

I thought they had a good shot at making some noise and going to Omaha but they lost in the regional at Dudy Noble to North Carolina.

Damn! That's terrible. He was a popular player back in the day. Guys, get your colon checked. I was pretty nervous about it, but it really wasn't that bad at all. And it can save your life.

That's right. Get your checkup. Always heard that when men turned 50 that they need to have a colonoscopy. Unfortunately, I was 48 when I started showing signs of colon cancer. The colonoscopy confirmed it. Had the surgery and then 6 months of chemo. Fortunately, I just celebrated my 5-year anniversary of being cancer free. I was always one that never went to the doctor but after this, I try my best to keep my doctor appointments regularly. I encourage you to do the same.

Good that you're 5 years free. Stay on top of it though. Not that it helps you now, but they recently changed the age to 45 when they recommend you get your first colonoscopy. I kept putting mine off till I was 55 and got lucky. Just one polyp, they cut it out, and it tested negative. I'll be getting my next one on time.

glad you caught it in time, I second this. Had Colonoscopy in late 40's because I lost a friend to colon cancer, several of us did so from his request, everything was clear. I turned 50 a few years later and had polyps, which were non cancerous, just one of those necessary evils we must follow.

I have cut way down on meat due to this very thing. I try to go 70-80% fruits and vegetables nowadays.

If Richie, Pete, and Nelson didn't arrive at the Landing before 7 PM every day there wasn't a baseball game. A missing persons report needed to be filed.
