Its Big 12 season

Well its been awhile since I wrote last, I have been so busy with getting back in the routine of school, late practice and traveling. Since I wrote you last we had just beat Vanderbilt and since then we have beat another ranked team in Okie State and lost two close games on the road to #5 Baylor and #16 K-State. Both games were pretty close and if we wouldn't of had some mental mistakes the results of the games could have been different. But we have learned from our mistakes and beat Missouri at home and went on the road to Nebraska and got a win. We haven't won at Nebraska in 5 years, and it was something us 5 seniors really wanted to do. Unfortuantly we had a few set backs during the trip. Like usual, something always happpens when we go to Lincoln. Its either someone has an injury, someone gets a concussion during shoot around or like this year, I got dealthy ill and spent most of the trip in my hotel bed sleeping. I was running a 101 temperature the night before the game. Our trainer Denise O'Mara had to go to Walgreen to get me antibotics at about 11pm. Thank goodness our game wasnt till 8pm on Saturday, so I had some time to try and recover. Thankfully by the time the game started I felt good enough to play, but lets just say after the game my body was NOT to happy with me. But oh well it was worth it, we got our first win in Lincoln in 5 years and moved to 3-2 in conference play. Gladly this week is our bye week and we dont have another game till Saturday at home against K-State. Which will be a tough game as not even two weeks ago we went to their place and lost by 7. The game on saturday is also very special as its our reunion game for the 1999 team that made it to the Elite 8!

Other than that I have been staying busy with my last semester of classes. I am currently taking 5 classes, but it really isnt as bad as it sounds. Two of those classes are online elective classes that I will most likely take Pass/Fail. So in all actuallity I just have 3 classes that I really have to focus on. My 22nd birthday is coming up pretty soon, 20 days actually. Its a pretty exciting special day for me as we play Texas that day. The game is on ESPN 2 and is the Pink Zone game. Both us and Texas will be wearing pink uniforms and pink shoes in awareness for Breast Cancer. So I advise you to tune in and watch the game if you can.

Well as I mentioned earlier, I am still pretty sick so I think I am going to get back in bed and relax. Until next time, have a great day and GO Cyclones!

Celebrating after a win!
