I'm bowing out for now

[JaySU22]

So sorry that you are suffering. Thinking good thoughts for you, you are a true Syracuse fan legend.

 

[donniesyracuse]

To show my support, I’m going to set aside a few hours to read one of your posts. Come back soon!

 

[Jake]

“Don’t give up, don’t ever give up!”

Prayers to you in your battle. You are a legendary Syracuse fan.

 

[Ericdep]

I hope you find peace.

Steve,

You are in all of our thoughts. We can never thank you enough for what you have contributed to our shared experience of being Syracuse fans together. You are an absolute legend

I'm getting weaker. (If anyone knows a good local agency to send in a helper, I'd appreciate it.) I have this large tumor in my liver. They think both lungs may be cancerous and no they are checking for bone cancer.


And the games and the coaches show are all the same.

My gosh, Steve, we wish you good health!

 

[swish7]

Oh no. I am thinking of you and wishing the best for you.

Sometime either this year or next, I will hit the quarter century mark on this board.

There are a very few select posters who have been instrumental in defining the positive qualities this board possesses.

CTO for founding it and, in the early years, organizing/hosting "board" gatherings - Sports night in NYC, Dinner and Seton Hall game, multiple board get-togethers at the Sheraton, inviting posters to sit with her at games. I am sure there are myriad others that I am missing.

Tom and Fishy for all their behind-the-scenes work.

The founders/organizers of the Fine Mess tailgate.

TexanMark for organizing get-togethers for away games and his armed-forces quality logistics of away tailgates

Tomcat's "My Takes"

However, from a content perspective SWC has been head and shoulders above the rest - and it isn't close. Whether it be his coach's show summaries, his upside/downsides, his season previews or his random research, his content has always been must-see TV - at least for me,

SWC, fight this fight, win this fight and return to being the board's William Shirer of Syracuse sports.

I cannot thank you enough for all your contributions over the years and look forward to seeing you bow back in...

So many others have said it all and I concur with admiration, respect, and the very best of wishes.

Steve:

I have only met you once but it seems like I have known you for decades. And I have in a virtual way. You are a great fan that everyone on the board likes and respects. As I think about it, you might be the only person on the board everyone likes and respects.

I hope things get better soon. Sending you prayers and positive thoughts.

Maybe this web site could be of some help.

Perfectly said Tom. Prayers for you Steve.

This not the thread for this, what the

Was thinking the exact same!

Please get well Steve. As many others have noted, your contributions to this board are top notch. I wish you a full recovery in this fight. You can do it!!

I'm appreciative of those who like me and my contributions to the board. But I have reached the point where I am not 'fighting'. I'm a single man with no dependents no bucket list and I am not a man of faith. What I would really like to do is to fall asleep and not wake up. It would be a release from my troubles.

Tons of respect to you on this honest take, SWC. Others have said it more eloquently than I ever could, but I’ll add— wishing you peace in whatever comes next.

You’re truly a legend around these parts. If nothing else, I hope there is some comfort in that.

Your lose from this form will be the biggest lose for SU of the season.

Wish you all the best.

 

[Moontan]

Best wishes to you, Steve.
We all hope that you will be able to get past this and enjoy life again.
We look forward to seeing your posts and hearing you on the radio when you feel better.

 

[CuseTroop]

Thinking of you, SWC.

Thinking of you, SWC.

Me too

 

[Crusty]

I echo sutomcat. You are a legend on this board and everyone has you in their prayers.

 

[PAcuse]

I've posted on the Basketball side and rarely even look at it, I'm glad I did.
SWC we are thinking and praying for you. Get well soon!

Wishing you healing and peace, Steve. I’ve always appreciated your smart, epic, thoughtful and well-reasoned posts on this board. As others have said, you’re a legend.

I've been kinda checked out on this basketball season and as a result, been kinda checked out from this forum as well. So sad to take a look and see this news.

Never met you in person or anything, but your posts here are absolutely legendary and whatever happens, your legend will live on. I'm not a man of faith either but sending my love and support. Wishing you peace.

Steve I hope you find peace

Francis House on Michaels Ave is a great place. They are connected with good hospice care. Movement may not be possible for you at this point, but they will take anyone in with private pay or donation. I wish there was a place like this in Durham, NC where I live. It was a blessing to have this option for my dad in his final days.

Wishes of comfort & peace, SWC. Prayers can be powerful...
