As of right no, I mean, nothing's changed. I still get fussed at by my wife, I still got to handle my grandkids from time to time," Hokie said. "It's just business as usual. I’ll get my diagnosis & treatment schedule next week,  and I hope to be in that booth calling the games with Jim for as long as I can stand him.
