I'm not sure who all knows but ... Benjamin Coleman (Craig)
Is in his final days with his battle against stage IV pancreatic cancer. He is at home with hospice. We're trying to keep his pain under control in his last days here on Earth. He's been a fighter, went through a year of chemo and radiation and that kept the tumor in the pancreas at Bay but then he had a separate cancer come up in the lungs. A couple of months ago. May 30 the scan showed progression of those tumors and enlargement of lymph nodes and the doctor called for no more treatment. He went home with hospice then but was doing relatively well until this past Wednesday when he his pain became uncontrollable. His wife decided to waive the hospice and take him to the hospital. We had another scan done and it showed that the cancer in the pancreas had metastasized everywhere is in the liver on the lungs and all of the tumors have increased in size. So they got his pain under control with a nerve block and sent him home. So we are now taking it day by day. He's not really able to talk on the phone but his wife Chrissy is reading his text to him so if y'all want to send him a message on messenger or through the phone if you have his number she or I will make sure he gets it! Y'all all know he played hard and loved hard so it is very difficult to see him like this but God's will! Love you all and I know he does too!

I try to think of the board in this way, imagine sitting next to the person you least like on the board at a huge LSU game. It may be at Bama or for an SEC or Nationso Championship. Let's say LSU wins on a last second play, how many of us wouldn't turn to that person sitting next to us and give a high five or a hug? I know I would. I love all LSU fans and wish the best for everyone that engages here.

I'll be praying for Craig .

Keep the faith.

Some people carry heavy burdens here, far beyond sports.
God bless you Ben, hope your journey is peaceful and tranquil.

Same here. Ben and I fought like cats and dogs on here but this really is terrible news.

Our days on this earth are limited. We should live each day as if it were our last.
Prayers for you Ben. May God bless you and your family and may your days be filled with peace. Never give up brother.

Man. Cancer sucks. My family has been dealing with my mom's case of esophogeal and laryngeal cancer for over 2 years now. We just got her yearly scan back Friday and it's all great. No cancer at all. I thank the Lord everyday for giving me more time with my mother. She was definitely blessed by God and he just wasn't ready to take her yet. I feel so bad for ben, but death comes to us all eventually, and it's not on our time but God's time. That's why it's of utmost importance to stay spritually healthy so when your time comes, you know where you're going. This is also why you make every moment with those you love count and always tell your loved ones you love them and make it known bc you never know when it's your's or their time to go. Stay strong ben, take it easy buddy. I don't know you personally, but you sound like a great guy. God Bless you and your family.

This is tough to hear. Be strong through it all, we all wish the best for you.

Hate to hear this. My thought are with Ben and his family during this time of sadness.
I didn’t always see eye to eye with him, but he’s still a fellow Tiger and human being and for that, I am saddened by this.

Sending love your way Ben!

God bless you Ben and when you get to heaven and turn around, I'll be there behind you because this place ain't my home. Your brother in CHrist.

Well that’s awful news. Hopefully he has a peaceful ending to his journey in this life. Just a reminder that everyone here has things they are dealing with outside of being a message board poster. God speed to you bencoleman.

That sucks to hear. Hopefully you get to watch your buddy Ed O from above this year, and he makes you proud. I'm sure you'll be laughing your arse off at all the "haters" you liked to argue with from up stairs. If this kind of stuff is allowed up there, give us a few favorable bounces this season.

Sorry to hear this. We never agreed but damn I hate to read this. I wish he was back telling me I don’t know shite.
