BOULDER, Colo. -- "What do you say to somebody who saves your life?"
It's a question John Steele has asked for close to two years and one he'll have the opportunity to answer on Friday when he meets Colorado senior defensive end Derek McCartney. That afternoon, on the eve of McCartney's final Buffaloes home game, there will be a family reunion of sorts. Steele will meet the man whose DNA and A-positive blood type he now shares, and whose cells live in his body, keeping him alive through a transplant that saved his life.
