    Gators won today, Ray.........38-6 over the Gamecocks!

    We played pretty good on both sides of the ball.

    It was Senior Day and we also celebrated Veterans Day.

    The game was televised on SEC Network. Not sure if you get that where you are. I hope you do and were able to watch.

    I will post the Gator Rewind when it is available anyway.

    Love you my brother!

    Fortunately, I get the SEC Network and I was able to watch most of the game. Just a little bit of pains at times. Gators help me get through it. :)

    And I love you my brother! :)

    Good evening Ray.....hope you are doing well!

    Are you still in the hospital, if you don't mind me asking?

    If so, any hawt nurses? :D

    I think the game against Vandy is a trap game for us, especially on the road. But some think it's just the opposite and Vandy will not be able to mentally get past their upset win against Kentucky last week.

    I think they finally have a decent head coach (Lea) and will run through walls for the guy, so we better not take them for granted, at all.

    Love to hear your thoughts, at some point.

    Cheers Ray! ~Baz ;)

    Well, for a few days things started getting better. Then starting last Sunday it was like back to post #1 for me. Except this time the pain is even more intense. If I go to sleep in my bed, and sleep for about 30 minutes, I’ll wake up to a lot of pain in just about 30 minutes or so. And feel very weak. I get discouraged because if God decided to cure these problems with pain, He could. So can’t help but think He wants me to suffer through all this. And it is very painful and making me very weak.

    I stayed with my Brother and his Wife. Will be seeing 2 Doctors this morning and depending what they tell me I’ll probably being to a Hospital. Pain is not easy to have all the time and I keep losing my balance and falling.
    Please pray for me.
    RayGator.

    Prayers for you my friend. Keep praying yourself, sometimes God answers on His time, not ours. Don’t lose faith!

    Dad-gum…. I stay off the board for a while and end up missing the most profound news of all.
    Sorry, fearless leader, for what you have been enduring. Evidence HERE ALONE shows what an impact you have on our Gator World. Heal quickly, sir ….. DF

    Hey Ray-

    Sorry to hear you're suffering with pain.

    Try not to move around too much without help- it's that one time you think that it's just a small reach, or just over there...and then you can fall! The whole population gets teetery as age kicks in!

    I just prayed. Will pray more tonight when things get quiet.

    God Bless you - may he comfort you and offer relief.

    Go Gators.:)

    I’m with my great brother RayGator. He’s a little different. Knows more about Gators than I. I graduated in June 1970
