  1. The year we played Arkansas was the year Beard got fired/we went to the Elite 8. They allowed fans/it was for charity and we kicked the ever-living shit out of them. I believe we scrimmaged TCU and Colorado last year and beat both of them.
  2. Anybody know what our shot is with them?
  3. Same…we got a raw deal!
  4. Last week of chemo for me starts today! Did a little early celebrating this past weekend with some friends in Kentucky - the Texas offense was more nauseating than any part of this medical journey.
  5. Had a nice day on the Trail and checking out some pumpkins in Louisville.
  6. Vic said the plan with Hose is to redshirt unless injury issues force us to play her.
  7. Vic was very high on Justice when talking the other night - mentioned how her injury in high school really meant she had to focus on regaining strength instead of basketball last year, and that she is playing without the brace/can prioritize basketball now.
  8. Went to the Welcome Back Celebration tonight - while Vic definitely knew last year’s group was special before last season, I think he is even more amped about this year’s squad, particularly the sophomore group. Kyla has been cleared and is practicing. Ashton Judd has been dealing with some tendinitis in her knee, but Vic said she will be back at practice after missing a week.
  9. It has gone much better than I had anticipated. Aside from feeling like shit/exhausted for a few days after each round, the only real issue I am having is tinnitus, which will likely be a permanent thing I will have to deal with after this is done with, and I suppose now gives me a valid excuse when the wife says I'm not listening to her.
  10. Fuck cancer - I got doc approval to travel before my last round of chemo starts on Monday. My group of 6 is getting into/staying in Louisville on Thursday and driving to Lexington on Sat for the game. Don't think we will make it early enough for Bear and Butcher but appreciate the organizing effort.
  11. Had a real shitty past week - had to let my dog cross the rainbow bridge, but turned the corner for the weekend and went out in public (other than errands) for the first time in six weeks and made it to TX/OU. I have this week off (going to Kentucky for the game/fun this weekend) and then start my last chemo round next Monday, and god am I looking forward to getting this shit over with. I have had some issues with tinnitus since this started, which I would say has gotten worse after this last round - I have felt some general wooziness/equilibrium imbalance feelings this time around related to it, which hasn’t been fun. I guess ototoxicity is one of the unfortunate side effects of the cisplatin. Has anybody who has been through this drill had problems with this/found anything effective to help with it?
  12. I almost stopped watching as soon as he transformed because the voice was so off-putting - it is really distracting in a bad way.
  13. I had the day every dog owner fears yesterday. I rescued Captain guy 7 years ago (well, he rescued me). We had an inseparable bond - he was literally never more than a few feet away from me 24/7. A few months ago I got diagnosed with cancer (see the I caught the cancer thread) and am weeks away from finishing treatment and beating this shit - he has helped me and my family navigate through the toughest few months of my life. Captain's health started failing during the middle of all this and I had to make the gut-wrenching (yet unquestionably correct) decision to help him cross the rainbow bridge yesterday. He almost saw me through it but couldn't quite make it, and he passed peacefully yesterday morning. RIP buddy, I'll never forget you,.
  14. I bought the Cool One UPF pullover last week…pretty nice. Will see how well it works at TX/OU.
  15. Started Round 3 Day 1 today, which means I officially am more than halfway done. My white blood cell count is still a little low (but higher than he thought it would be)/will need the Neulasta equivalent for Rounds 3&4, but the doc said I should be good to go TX/OU and to Kentucky the following weekend as long as I feel fine.
