Illini football PA announcer Ken Johnson on road to recovery

Johnson, the public address announcer who started at Memorial Stadium last fall, had two strokes around New Year's Day. But he hasn't given up on the rest of the year despite living in a rehabilitation facility and using a wheelchair.

"It can still finish on a good note," Johnson said Monday. "That's what I'm hoping for."
