Wild Bill Sproat, even when near death, is a Utah State diehard

We got some bad news over the summer as everyone's favorite Superfan, Utah State's Wild Bill Sproat, who has spent the last few months in the hospital with an enlarged heart.

In this blog post, Wild Bill take you through his ordeal. Some of it is pretty scary (He had a blood clot in each ventricle and in his lungs? Yeesh...) while some of it is downright hilarious.

After a long week under heavy sedation in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, I was removed from life support and was able to see my family. I don’t remember a thing from that week but have been told about my crazy antics. Turns out, I know sign language (and I’m not talking about the middle finger). I guess I was using sign language to communicate with people and one doctor though I might be deaf … who knew I could sign?

If that's true, that is incredibly funny.

This little diddy, while terrifying on one hand, shows why Sproat is the definition of a Superfan:

The Wednesday after I was released from ICU I was on my regular floor talking with my sister and a friend when I noticed my vision was going out, I asked my sister to get the nurse then I passed out. My heart stopped and I had no pulse for seven minutes. After a few minutes of CPR, right before they were about to hit me with the defibrillator I woke up and the first thing out of my mouth was, "there better not be any BYU fans in here, if so I think I'd rather die!" That gave the doctors and nurses a little shock. I really don't hate BYU I just don't think they should be allowed to breathe the same air as the rest of us.

Get better soon, Wild Bill. We are looking forward to some new costumes.
