Berger's condition upgraded to fair

By now I'm sure everyone has seen the picture, but here it is anyway. It's amazing how much a simple thumbs up can mean to people in the wake of tragedy. It's the kind of thing that can incite an eruption from a crowd, such as when a guy is being taken off a football field on a stretcher. In this case, it's the kind of thing that can go viral among Utah State fans.

Earlier tonight, Intermountain Medical tweeted that Danny Berger's condition has been upgraded to fair. That is a huge step forward for him in this whole recovery process. Obviously there's plenty of recovery left to go, but every step matters at this point.

STUDENTS SHOW THE LOVE
A handful of students organized an event on campus Thursday, and apparently going on again Friday to write letters of support and well-wishes to Berger while he goes through this recovery. I wish I could give a solid estimate of how long that process takes with this kind of thing, but I really have no idea. I do know though that having a whole university behind you cheering you on has got to make it that much easier to keep up the fight.

A good solid Hell Yeah to everyone who went out to that today, and for the people who go tomorrow. Also major props to the people who put that together!!

You never cease to amaze me Utah State!

NOW FILL THE SPECTRUM SATURDAY
Danny, in all likelihood, will not be at Saturday's game against Western Oregon. Stories, pictures and video of the experience will all likely make their way to him though. Make signs, show support, yell chants, and just be an Aggie basketball fan this Saturday. Information gets around fast, and if I were a betting man, I'd bet some kind of online album gets put up of all the signs of showings of support for Danny from this Saturday. 

Hopefully the good news continues to come from all of this. It's going to be a pretty special occasion when Danny's able to join his teammates on the bench once again.
