Great, you just doomed them all.

 

[JOEY’S ALL VOL !!!]

Well, just got back home and it went much better than I thought it might. The movers got his stuff there and put in faster than I thought they would and I got his room set up and decorated in a short while. He didn’t fight it much and seemed resigned to the fact it was where he needed to be. He ate his dinner and promptly went to sleep. I hated like hell to leave him there, but his being asleep and the staffs constant words of assurance made it easier. I think he is in good hands. I picked the best rated and reviewed place I could find and they seem very capable. God willing he will be completely comfortable and at peace in a few days. I’ll see him tomorrow.

Should I reach that point, I hope mine care for me the way you have cared for your daddy.

I can’t say much more than that. Well done.

There is something special going on on the Hill. All major sports in their respective playoffs / tourneys. Is UT the only university to do that in 24 /25? I wonder how many times its happened overall?

I was bummed when McSon3 didn't get accepted. This may be the beginning of a 'golden age' at UT.

If he gets a 3.0 his first year elsewhere, he could probably transfer in....

The worst part about March Madness are the radio commentators who lament and hand-wring over the money changing college sports. The students are benefiting better than they ever have. If that changes the sport, then it was built on a corrupt foundation.

If the small schools want to compete, they will have to innovate and be creative. Great things can come from being forced to do that instead of finding diamonds in the rough and holding on to them for 4 years. College sports could very well get more exciting with new and novel things never attempted before.

Welp, mom broke down and told me she had cancer today. Not sure if I'm processing or in shock but I'm on my way back to my house to pack up some stuff to go take care of her for the foreseeable future.

Damn man I hate to hear that for you. Hopefully it's the kind with a favorable prognosis.

That sucks. Good luck. You'll both be in my prayers.

Prayers for strength, courage and patience for her and you, you’ll both need it. One foot in front of the other one step at a time, you and her have got this. Prayers for complete healing for her.

I’ve heard they’re accepting a lot more out of state applicants over in state…. Because money

I’m sorry brother. That’s some tough news to try and digest.
I just read this and thought it was very well said.
There are a good handful of moments where it's okay for a grown man to be scared, worried, or sad. You got this.

Never something easy to deal with.

Heading to watch the Lady Vols play the Sooner in softball this Friday. Here's to hoping for a victory.

Sorry, man. It's tough dealing with stuff like that. Especially your mom. Lost my mom to Alzheimers. I remember the day of the diagnosis and talking with her about it.
