      Ray, you're in my prayers. I too have had prostate cancer for the last 4 years with. I've had two biopsy's. Fortunately it is the slowest growing kind according to extra tests. But has to be watched carefully. I hope yours is over and done with!

      Hi Ray, Like you, I had prostate cancer. My surgery Aug, 2014. My psa had been rising fast but was caught early. For 3 yrs after I had tests every 6 Mo. Last year doc said "see you in a year".
      With news of Mike Slive's passing due to recurrence, initial diagnosis in '90's, wondering if 6 mo. check up is better. How about you...how often do you get checked out.
      Hope all is well...Thanks! wrp

      FWIW, I did warn about the language in that video, in case people are at work or just don't want to hear cursing. I always thought the "Always Be Closing" scene from that movie was great. It has a cult following of its own.

        It could be posted on Too Hot. Mods there might be OK with it. Be their decision.

      So far things have been going OK. Have follow-up checkups from time to time to see if there any more Cancer problems.

      What you guys did on the recruiting forum with the player profiles was good, but takes so much time to go through each one . Moving forward into the 15 class of kids if we could consolidate all this and be able to go to one page , whether its the QB board, OL board, RB board, etc. Are you following what im pitching to you on this ?

      This could be something like what the coaches might have up. A lot of times were left wondering where a player might be in the pecking order as far as talent and how our coaches might see them. Who we want over another player. Is this something we could try here on GC. Thanks
