From Rick George's AD update this morning. Continued thoughts and prayers for Zim.
[FONT="]LarryZimmer[/FONT][FONT="]
I want to close by asking for your thoughts and prayers for our longtime “Voiceof the Buffs,” Larry Zimmer. Larry became ill the night after the Oregon Stategame (Oct. 4) and has been hospitalized ever since; he developed pneumonia soonafterward and is fighting several issues. It looks like he won’t be able toreturn this season, but we’re all hopeful he can return for his 42nd season in2015: he’s called 483 football and over 1,000 basketball games for us in hisaward-winning career.

Tough news, hope he pulls through.
LZ is one of my favorite announcers in all of sports. Along with Vin Scully, Keith Jackson Cliff Drysdale, and a few others.
Karma karma!
Shoulder to Shoulder Zim. Get Better!
Chad Brown was just on the radio and gave a quick update on Zim and said he's recovered from the pneumonia but is still having trouble with his breathing and is still in the hospital.
Karma to you Zim!
Karma to you Zim!
Similar to what is going on with my lady. She still takes breathing treatments everyday. It's gonna take Zim time, especially at his age. God Bless him, hope he gets better.

To expound, CB said that Zim had double pneumonia and a collapsed lung, and that he fell in the press box (after Oregon St.) and later at home. Karma Zim.
I didn't hear about the press box incident. I thought it was just at home. That's not good, prayers to him.
the falling is a bad precursor for elderly folks. when it happens, it is often really tough for them to bounce back and live independently. i know this from family experience.
good karma, zim. feel better.
Dammit! I've fallen down 4 times in the last 3 months! :sad1:
Drunk on Metamucil. On two separate occasions, I stepped into the same damned hole while walking the dogs. ****ing hole. Both times were in the dark. Then I tripped over a rock walking the dogs and, finally, I tripped trying to pull the damned air hose to fill my tires! And I used to be somewhat coordinated and athletic!! Luckily, I'm not frail. Yet. :sad1: Sounds like Zim probably fainted more than tripped. Now that is scary. Hopefully it was from the pneumonia and that now they are getting that under control.
RyanK was good enough to post this update on Rivals and I thought everyone would like to know how Zim is doing so I'm posting it here.
Personally, I didn't realize how severe the illness was. I'm so glad to hear that Zim is progressing.
From Plati:
"He was moved about 10 days ago from St. Anthony's to Select Hospital in Porter (for longer term care and rehab) ... it's on South Downing in Denver. The move was a bit rough, but Brigitte said he was soon doing better. He is breathing much better, has been off the ventilator and has started making his comeback.
A statement from the Brigitte:
"A PROCEDURE ON LARRY'S VOCAL CORDS WAS PERFORMED TODAY AND AS A RESULT HE CAN NOW SPEAK AGAIN. AT THIS TIME IT'S VERY BASIC, BUT WITH THERAPY AND IN TIME THE MEDICAL TEAM FEELS LARRY WILL HAVE FULL USE OF HIS VOICE. THE ZIMMER FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR CONTINUED THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS DURING LARRY'S RECOVERY." - The Zimmer family"

Heart of a Buffalo. Best wishes to you and your family Larry as you continue to recover.
I think it would be a nice touch if they voted Zim for the Buffalo Heart Award.
Sounds positive he's getting better at least.
Agree. I want to see Zim honored. I also want to see Greg Henderson getting that award next week.
He is already in the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame, Forever Buff Award winner, the Chris Schenkel (distinguished sportscaster award), and numerous sportscaster of the year awards. What would you add to that?
