    Hey Ray-

    Looks like we're going into Kentucky with a fairly healthy complement of players; which is good. Some key guys back! Shoot, for a second there I was thinking we needed to get you suited up and on the travel roster!:eek:o_O:D

    Seriously, I sure hope the pain is manageable. I trust your spirits are up, and I know you know there are always a ton of folks pulling and Praying for you.

    God Bless, and be well.

    Go Gators.:)

    Hey Ray, I realize it’s late, and I am a rival. But sometimes the college football season can remind us of life. At one moment it’s bliss, and you are on top of the world, and the next it is pity and misery. But that’s why college football teaches us so much about life.

    Just a couple weeks ago I was very unhappy to be a Tennessee fan. But today I am happy that we won. Just as I am sure you are unhappy Florida lost today, but happiness comes from happenings, which is completely different than joy, which is a wellspring that comes from deep within us.

    As someone who has gone through some medical conditions, myself, I just wanted to reach out to see how life was treating you and your family, my friend? I keep you in my prayers, and just wanted to make sure you were enjoying another season of college football regardless of the outcome.

    Sincerly, JHCIV

    Still having different tests and Doctors appointments coming up. Sometimes I think it may be heart and maybe Brain, that one scares me the most.

    Ray-Happy Monday!:D

    Blessings my friend. Big week, Ray.

    GEORGIA WEEK!!! I sure hope we have close to a perfect game on Saturday, with No injuries.

    A little Divine intervention wouldn't hurt either. We're about due one against these guys. Hope we can pull it off...:eek:;)

    GO GATORS!:)

    I see this thread constantly and think of you each time. I have been around like you a long time- the days of the Rumor Mill. We watched as the old ball coach made Florida a great place to see football and the ups and downs since that time. One thing never changes- His love for you. I would not go back for any amount of money. I like growing old. God bless you brother. Tim
