This is heartbreaking news about one of the greatest Mustangs of all time.
If anyone can fight this thing and have a long, healthy life, it's Coach Gregg.
My thoughts are with Coach and his family.

A man who represents what is right with football.
(One of my greatest memories is when he had the Aggie yell leaders thrown out of Moody - sheer greatness).
