Wow, I suppose things like this really put life and sports in perspective. It's not really how many points you score or how many games you win, but how you live to help others and to use the talents that God gave you in your time on Earth.

You got to give Chris Lofton credit. He play the entired season after having surgery to battle testicular cancer. Everybody was wondering why he didn't play well this season. Now we know why. Lofton did not used it as an excuse. He show his toughness this season.

I knew something about his game did not seem right this season but you hate to hear that it is a result of this. I never waivered in my support of him and I wish him the best as he will always have to monitor his status.

I'm proud to be a Tennessee Vol! Expect 5 to be in the rafters soon.

Wow, I'm highly impressed he was able to play with all of that personal stuff going on. I really feel bad for the kid..I hope everything goes well for him.

It really puts it all in perspective....knowing that the guy could have lost his life at any moment. I have an enormous amount of respect for him...like I said before I really wish him nothing but the best.

good story. best wishes to lofton.

Lofton's jersey will be in the rafters at Thompson-Bowling soon because of the heart he showed on the court. It turns out that his heart is even stronger off the court.

Best wishes for the future, Chris.
