I was hesitant to post this because of the way most of us feel about Cosgrove, but at times like this for them it goes beyond football. Thoughts and prayers going to the Cosgroves from this Husker fan.

 

Gophers wide receiver Connor Cosgrove, son of team co-defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove, has been diagnosed with leukemia and is beginning chemotherapy treatments immediately, coach Tim Brewster said Wednesday.

 

The 19-year-old freshman, an all-state high school player at Edgewood, Wis., spent last season at St. Cloud State but transferred to Minnesota this fall to be with his father. He hadn't been feeling well lately, Brewster said, so the team had him undergo a series of tests. "Unfortunately, they came back and showed he has an acute form of leukemia," Brewster said. "It's a difficult situation."

 

Kevin Cosgrove missed practice Tuesday after learning the news but returned to coach the defense on Wednesday and plans to call the defensive plays Saturday as usual against USC. "Kevin's going to spend time at the hospital with his son, but he'll continue with the preparation," Brewster said. "Kevin's trying to be strong for his family and his son, and he will be. But it's obviously a shock. We're going to help him through a tough situation."

Yeah no matter what my opinions are about the guy will say a prayer for his son! Best wishes for Conner and his family.

That is a rough deal. Hate to hear that about anybody regardless. Definitely sending up prayers for the Cosgrove family! Wish Connor and his family a speedy recovery

Wow, watching my neighbor lady go through this the past couple of years and she just decided to quit treatment last month. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

 

Prayers and well wishes to the Cosgrove family, much more important things than a stupid game, that's for sure.

No one should have to watch their child suffer! I hope and pray that we see an announcement in a few months that the doctors are sure this young man will beat this disease. All prayers and wishes to the Cosgrove family!

Prayers sent. I wish a full and speedy recovery.

I will have him and his family in my prayers, and I hope all goes well.

This goes without say. I never understood why people had hard "personal" feelings for Coz, Billy C,and even Stevie P, when all they really did was fail at doing their job with Nebraska football. It was just bad fits. They never murdered our cats or anything.

I truly hope his son gets better and I have no wishes of death or ill fate to anyone.

 

That said, Cosgrove is still somebody I have no respect for.

best wishes. I don't wish this upon anybody. But c'Mon.... there are lots of people with bad diseases out there. That doesn't mean I'm creating a thread on a huskers message board.
