One of our own sick
Everyone who is anyone, or at least has been reading OBNUG before the last 6 months knows who T. Munson is, and you know he has not been on OBNUG for some time now. I hope I am not telling stories out of class here but T has cancer and has been told he has about 1 year left.
Munsonhas such a great memory and knowledge of Bronco football and of our past players. I for one loved reading what he had to say about the Broncos of old. Plus how many Nuggies has an offical term named after him. "Munson'd"
Anyway if you see him or talk to him just let him know your thinking about him and his family.
This content was not created by OBNUG and therefore may not meet our standards. On the contrary, it probably exceeds them.

Sorry to hear always enjoy his take on issues.
I was sad to hear this and my heart goes out to him and his amazing wife
They’re great people, I know they could really use the prayers and support right now. Glad someone posted this on here.
Tom, if you’re still lurking I hope you know we haven’t forgotten you around these parts. God bless you and yours.

But if it is, godspeed, T. Beat it back with your strong will, man.
Time is the great equalizer.

On the Prayer List
Can’t tell you how sad I am to hear of your illness. I have always enjoyed your wit and historical knowledge of Bronco football. I just placed you on my prayer list.
Munson spirit got my into OBNUG.
Heart goes out to him. May he live to see us win a National Championship.

He will definetly be in our thoughts and prayers.
He will have to get better so he can give Coach Kinsey another lesson on the Boise Strat.

But being a 2 year lurker, this kind of news will bring me out. Missed him before the news. Gonna miss him more now. Good luck bro.

Met a guy at the gym last night that was diagnosed with "terminal" pancreatic cancer in Summer '07
He’s now cancer free and did it all without chemo. Fight, fight, fight.
Get well, please, Tom

We miss you, and the world needs your insight and humor.
For those who didn’t catch Munson’s move, he went to www.theblueturf.com to continue writing. The most recent post I can find was made on December 30, 2011, and was one of his famous “Munson’s Gazettas.”
http://www.theblueturf.com/2011-articles/december/munsons-gazetta-qchillyq-willie-beamon.html
Perhaps he can catch some of your wishes over there if you’d care to post them. BTW, that’s where Darth ended up, too.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they, too, have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit.
Wow.
Very sad news. My best to Munson! Please fight like a BW my friend.
I trust you had his blessing to post this…
Kickers...whatya gonna do.

Munson,
You’re a very creative writer, and also a very fun & entertaining person. This post says you have a year. That tells me, you have a chance to fight it. All I have to say is get creative, and if a doctor is telling you there is no hope, make him a liar. Getting creative with your food intake is your friend. Listening to the norm is your enemy. Obviously a drastic change is in order, from the water you drink, to whatever you eat. Don’t listen to anybody who says you can’t make it. I don’t know if this will help you, but if it doesn’t, I hope it leads you to what does.
Get creative, keep an open mind, and don’t give up. My prayers are with you.

If you ever wanted to see Boise St play...may be a good chance. Love em or Hate em, they are always interesting; and now, no matter where you live, "They're Coming To Your City"
Munson, It was bad enough losing you as a regular OBNUG contributor
But this is not acceptable. You can beat this. Please come come back and share your wisdom and knowlege, it will help you(and us). I don’t think I have ever responded to to you directly but I feel a connection because of the people and places that we shared similar expiences with. Thoughts and prayers to you and knowing you are a fighter.

Very sad news...
…but as so many others said above, it’s not over ‘til it’s over. Munson, though I only know him through his postings, never struck me as the type who would give up without a fight. My thoughts go out to you Munson…you can beat this!

Stay strong and fight hard!! :) Go Orange Go Big Blue…Fight Fight Munson..and BSU!!
Praying for you.
It is impossible with men, but not with God for with God all things are possible. Here’s to beating the “odds”. Here’s to not believing in odds and opting for hope and strength and faith instead. Here’s to believing in the seemingly impossible. Best wishes, Munson. Stay strong.

Hang in there, Tom.
Sorry to hear, but I’ll hope and pray for your healthy return.
Here’s to the hope that this thing gets Munson’d!
