per Joe:
Earlier this year, he got more bad news. The cancer was back, this time in one of his lungs. He had his latest surgery Aug. 7. Three days later, he was back at Gophers practice, talking to Kill and the players.
“I would think we’ve got good examples of what toughness is,” Kill said, on the impact of Casey's visit.
Casey has continued toward his goal of playing varsity football. Now he’s ready for his debut. His doctor gave him clearance to play, and when Dan told me this news Thursday, you should have seen the pride in his eyes.
Casey will be the holder for this one game, and then he’ll be back for chemo next week. Depending on those treatments, this might be the only game this season that Casey gets to play. He’s determined to make it count.
