OK. Just tryin' to make it until next football season to see what happens. Hopefully, basketball will ease the pain. But, I doubt it.

I've been to a lot of SEC and bowl games but never the SECCG. Went down to get scalped tickets the first year in Atlanta, but wouldn't do $300 per.

Really disappointed in my brother. He was supposed to go with me to the game this week but backed out because he is tired of seeing UT lose. Tried explaining to him that as a fan you stand by a team through the good times or bad. He said that was too tough, so I told him maybe he should pick a better team haha.

It is tough. I could hang better when I was younger. Now, we better see something this next year. No more excuses.

You gotta admit, though, a lot happened this year that took us out of good games. And good talent masks coaching mistakes that others make. When Coach Dooley screws up, his are magnified.

I think next year we do pretty well. I hope so, I really like our coach.

I'll tell you what I remember.

His dad was a government liaison officer or something in the colony of British Guyana in SA. He went to visit him and ended up becoming intrigued by the people on the Brazilian border called the Wapishana Indians. He became a cowboy for them, herding cattle and taking them on runs to the city of Georgetown.

They decided to give him a new horse. The horse had killed two men already, it's name meant The Devil in Wapishanan. The horse ended up bucking him and trampling him, resulting in serious injury. The closest doctor was a thirty day journey away; that's when he got the idea of taking medical care to remote places and to people in serious need.

He worked in South and Central America, including Haiti, Guyana, Brazil, etc. He then brought his organization to the US. For the past 12 years he has set up a weekend long event in Wise, VA (where my parents where raised) to distribute free dental, optical, and medical care to people without insurance or who would not be covered by the insurance they do have.

He normally treats 1000 people a day over 2 1/2 days at each location. He just got back from Henderson, TN and is currently planning a trip to Oakland and Sacramento, CA. It's awesome what he does. Especially for Indian reservations, which I'd love to talk to ITC about. I think he would be interested in a project that Mr. Brock is bringing to a Knoxville ranch.

Yeah, it's bad. I've taken on so much more responsibility, though. And there was a time when I was totally self-dependent. So don't go thinking I rely on them haha.

My parents are good people. They take care of my brother and I very well.
