Prayers to Homer........

[TulsaWarrior]

Prayers going out to him and his family. This puts winning a game or getting a recruit in perspective. He is an important part of the Marquette Family.

[MU_Iceman]

:( This makes me sick to my stomach. I love Homer. get well soon, you will be missed!

[IWB]

I know Homer well. This makes me sick. Absolutely great guy, prayers to him and his family.

Hang in there Homie!

[mufansince72]

That totally sucks. Today is his birthday too! I actually passed through that intersection today around 12:30 PM. It was obvious there was a pretty bad accident there as there were still three squad cars on the scene.

[IWB]

Happy Birthday Homer!

[MUMac]

Prayers to Homer. I love listening to the game when he calls it. Very sad. 10:00am and a drunk driver, wow. Sad and sickening.

[BLT]

Prayers up. Next couple days critical...so any extra "helpers" from above will be appreciated, I am sure. Damn, great guy.

[Nukem2]

Prayers for Homer and family. Saw him at his table with Mac again last nite. Hope for the best.

[ge1974]

Prayers to Homer and his family.

[Goose85]

A great guy. Prayers to Homer and family.

[Nukem2]

Man, I'm always paranoid going thru intersections. Just never know. My sister-in-laws father got nailed like Homer. Again, prayers to Homer and family.

Have known Steve and Nancy True for 25-plus years ... since Homer started radio up in Appleton. Terrific person and great family. Prayers go out to Steve and certainly to Nancy as well.

I read head trauma earlier...and worried...feel better now. Not out of the woods yet, but the prayers are working.

[dubs98]

prayers from Michigan for homer as well.

[Halo]

Homer is a super guy. Get well soon! My prayers for a speedy recovery.

Agree, prayers to Homer and family. Can't believe drunk driver at 10:00, throw the book at him.

Love this call, Homer rocks

Best wishes to Home Team. A giant part of the Marquette family that would be impossible to replace.

I love Kuykendal's reaction in that last one!

[mufansince72]

Does this mean that Homer is doing better?

Statement from Craig Karmazin, President and CEO of Good Karma Broadcasting:
"Earlier today, ESPN Wisconsin's Steve "The Homer" True was injured in a traffic accident on Milwaukee's northwest side. I spoke with Homer's wife, Nancy, tonight. She said Homer is doing pretty well and that doctors want to monitor his condition overnight. On behalf of the True family and all of us at ESPN Wisconsin, I'd like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers."

[WarriorsNuffSaid]

Horrible! Thought and prayers for Homer and his family.

[MulliganMusings]

Keeping Homer, and his family, in my thoughts and prayers.

Broeker says @espnhomer will not be on radio play by play for next 2 games. Kent Summerfeld will sub

[TulsaWarrior]

When I was doing play-by-play years ago it was impossible to hear your partner sitting next to you without a good headset that cut out crowd noise. With a head injury Homer needs to take his time. That noise is tough enough to deal with all on its own. Listen to the doctors Homer.

[Mark Miller]

Awesome news on Homer. Here's hoping for a speedy full recovery!!!

[2013UnleashTheBeast]

Awesome news. Sometimes I listen to his calls of DJO & Crowder's dagger threes vs. Cuse to get us back to the sweet 16 when I'm feeling down in the dumps. Give me chills every time. Seems like a genuinely enthusiastic guy too. Way underappreciated.

[IWB]

Have heard from a few people that Homer is doing well. Mentally he is in great spirits but physically....he got beat up pretty good.

Kent Summerfeld is a great guy and will do a great job, but, no offense to Kent, Homer is Homer. Impossible to replace.

That accident scene is crazy. Thank God for Toyotas. And airbags.
