CSU Rams Coach Mike Bobo Remains In Hospital, Watches Game Film

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS4) - Mike Bobo, head coach of the Colorado State Rams, says he's watching game film as he spends time in a hospital.

Bobo says he's undergoing treatment for numbness in his feet. He released a statement on Wednesday, saying the following:

I want to express my sincere appreciation for the outpouring of care, concern and prayers that ai and my family have received. Lainie and I, and our children, are extremely grateful for this support, and for the medical care that I continue to receive.

I am currently in the process of a multiple-day treatment for a peripheral neuropathy, and continue to be encouraged by the results of the ongoing medical testing.

While I have been hospitalized, I have been able to remain in close contact with our staff and watch practice film in preparation for our season opener against Hawaii.

I am excited about our 2018 Rams football team, and feel more confident than ever about the quality and commitment of the people in our football program. I am thankful for the hard work, focus and diligence they have continued to demonstrate while I have been away. I also appreciate the support from the athletic department, Joe Parker and Colorado State University. I am hopeful I will soon be back with them working to prepare for our season opener.

Mike MacIntyre, head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, shared comments on Wednesday about Bobo, saying in part:

"I'd like to say my prayers and that I'm thinking about Mike Bobo. We've texted back and forth. I sure hope he's doing well. ... He's a great man, a great coach. He's a coach's son like me. I think the world of him and hope he recovers well."

The CSU Rams football season begins on Aug. 25 at Canvas Stadium when they match up with Hawaii.
