Hope the best for him and his family. Maybe not the right time to ask this... But I have wondered how Anderson's immediate departure changed his outlook on what proper support for OSU sports meant. Beavs traditionally had the worst financial backing of not just the PAC12, but all of college football... Anderson leaves, leaves cash on the table... Barnes hires Smith and then spending becomes light-years better...

I know to Beavs fans Anderson is the reason for the collapse, but I have wondered if it deems a second look after the emotions have faded and the full effects can be seen

As one who spent his career in the cardiac business, being involved with college athletics at a high level brings with it a high degree of stress. That’s not good vis a vis cardiac function! Having said that the folks at St. Agnes involved with cardiac care are superb!! Good luck!

Barnes was a lanky kid with stringy blond hair when he and rest of Fresno State team repeatedly knocked off highly ranked UNLV in Fresno in the 1980s, which always left the salty Jerry Tarkanian muttering and admiring the team from his alma mater. Barnes didn't have the athleticism of his graceful teammates. But he had a deadly jumper and a gritty style that made him a fan favorite. Get well!
