Football Head Coach John Bonamego leads a team huddle after the spring football game April 25 in Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
John Bonamego barely made it through a half hour of the 2015 Mid-American Conference Football Media Day. He threw up in the bathroom. The next day he was eating through a feeding tube and battling tonsil cancer.
At the 2016 MAC Football Media Day, Bonamego stayed the entire time. He said the difference between last year and this year is "night and day." The second-year head football coach has been cancer-free since November.
"There were some challenging times," Bonamego said.
