Don James has cancer

Homebrew_Dawg

Is James an organ donor? If so, he could make a final parting gift to the program by giving Sark his "balls". We all know Sark will never grow a set of his own and Woody is not going fire him.

I'm chuckling at the reaction this thread will get on Scout.

Not classy

Saw this on ST blog (http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/reader_feedback/public/display.php?source_name=wp-huskyfootball&source_id=16148)"

"Get well Dawgfather!!! You have to hold on until we win another NC!!!

WOOF!!!"

Enough of the suffering for Coach James. He will sooner die of natural causes before WA wins another NC.

Platitudes is all some fans (so-called out respect for James) got.

It is a damn shame that James doesn't have a statue yet. I don't understand why this obvious move hasn't happened yet.

The guy is a legend and brought our program to consistent heights we hadn't seen since the Dobie years.

It's also not a coincidence the program went back to mediocrity to down right shitty to now average after he was left.

"Former University of Washington football coach Don James, who underwent surgery earlier this month, is currently resting and recovering at home. On Monday, he'll begin chemotherapy treatment for a malignant tumor on his pancreas.

Coach James and his family are grateful for the many prayers and encouraging words and ask that they continue. The family also asks for privacy as they fight this battle."

Looking back that whole operation thing last month sounded a little fishy and now we know why. Crap.

Yep, achievers and overachievers ruin it for the rest. Minnesota is nice. They have ocean beaches too, right?

can we save the sympathy train for classy boards. Everybody is going to miss the dawgfather, but he's not going to live forever. I mean, he in his 80s. He's going to die of something. Especially in this economy.
