    'tis better that he do that than try to overexert himself which would be detrimental to his health (and to the football team)

      Too bad. Hopefully he'll be able to fully recover.

        Donnie is good guy. I have friend at Western who says he sees him on campus all the time and Donnie always will stop and say hi or talk to you like a real person.

          Mark Hendrickson takes over as (interim?) head coach.

          That means that 3 of the 9 head coaches in the MVFC right now are UNI alums.
          (Farley, TA, and now Hendrickson)

            I guess that when we start saying that its' UNI's league, it takes on another level of meaning.

            Good luck to Coach Patterson. I hope that he is able to recover to a point where he can enjoy life rather than dealing with chemo, etc.

              It's a shame to hear that -- Patterson seemed to be a good coach. As a fellow cancer survivor, I wish him nothing but the best.

                I wonder if it will end up being similar to Tony D's situation here at UNI. Stepping down from coaching, but staying on with the athletic department in a different, less demanding/stressful role.

                      Everyone here in town seems to have good things to say about Patterson. Hell, the electrician was checking out the outside drop before the game and started talking about him.

                        I've known Mark Hendrickson for a long time as he is a good friend of my parents since they were in college. He actually took me on a recruiting visit through the Iowa football facilities( I think he was TE and Special Teams under Fry) my Sr yr of high school which was very cool. He's a class act and I think his sister lives in town here...Best of luck to Mark and hopefully he get interim removed after this year.

                              Interesting. I wonder what sold them on him, the collapse last year, or the 10 game losing streak this year?
