For the last several months, people have made disinformation posts about him having cancer, him dying, him saying things that he didn't say.
It's really sad that people stoop to this.
If there is news to be shared, I will believe it when it comes from Nebraska and the Osborne family.

Amie Just: The real issue in Iowa City wasn’t Fred Hoiberg — it was security
Fred Hoiberg isn’t against court storms. But what happened in Iowa’s handshake line shouldn’t have been allowed to happen.
COLUMN | In defense of Fred Hoiberg... the only thing he needed to apologize for was accidentally hitting an Iowa staffer.
And he did.
My thoughts on court security, emotional rivalries and pacemakers:

That’s probably the best answer because the date that I’ve found when reverse image searching it is 1935. (Which doesn’t make sense with your context.)

Amie Just: Nebraska might be upset after loss to Michigan, but it should not feel bad
After leading for most of the game, Nebraska should be upset for losing to Michigan, but it should not feel bad for the fight it showed, Amie Just writes.
NEW | No. 5 Nebraska doesn't believe in moral victories.
That's fine. The rest of us can.
NU came up one shot short — without Rienk Mast + Braden Frager — against Michigan, a favorite to win the natty.
What's that mean? The Huskers are contenders.

1H, 15:24 | Michigan is every bit imposing as the Wolverines have been made out to be.
And yet, Nebraska — down both Rienk Mast and Braden Frager — has an early advantage after two drained triples from Jamarques Lawrence and Berke Büyüktuncel.
Nebraska 8, Michigan 5
