Minium: After shopping Black Friday, spend the evening watching ODU basketball, and support Jeff Jones' effort to raise prostate cancer awareness

Old Dominion basketball coach Jeff Jones and I are the members of the same club that no man wants to join.

We both have been treated for prostate cancer and believe me, I was a lot for fortunate than Jeff. I have my doctor, Joseph Vaccarella, to thank for that. I was in my late 50s and he ordered blood work to test my Prostate-Specific Antigen. It may have saved my life.

More on that later. Here’s what I’m hoping all of you reading this will do: show up Friday night when ODU hosts Northern Iowa in a basketball game at the Ted Constant Center.
