That is pretty rough. No Sternum? Wow. Get better Mike so you can get back here and make fun of me.

Our long time board member @MikeG has been absent from the board for at least a couple weeks. I have recently learned he remains in the hospital for treatment.  At risk of sharing info that is no

Mike suggested putting up some pics while we were watching the game.  I haven't provided a lot of details on Mike because I didn't want to invade his privacy.  He shrugged that off.  But he's been hospitalized since 9/21 - very serious stuff.  Multiple surgeries.  If you know anything about being bedridden that long, you know he has a long way back in rehab, just being able to regain the strength to walk again, not to mention the actual surgery recovery and risks.  But he was positive and resilient.  We talked a lot of Bull and we discussed watching the hoops game Sunday.  But he has a pretty busy medical calendar so we'll have to see.  Those of you that really know Mike from his nearly 20 years around the board and even longer time around USF Athletics, you'll be comforted to know that while he no longer has a sternum, he still has his salty wit and sarcastic tone.  It's set aside only when he's putting a move on one of the nurses.  :)

You are a good man for visiting him. Well done.

He’s watching the game from his bed.  

 

One of you looks pretty bad and the other one is in a hospital bed.  😁

Get well soon Mike.

Kinda puts everything in perspective. So glad you've made it through some of the rough stuff, bud, hope the journey to go is a lot easier. Prayers still going.

I only know you through your interaction with this board. My kids only know you because I have filled them in on what I know about you before we say a prayer for you. They are always asking me for updates. We will still be praying for you and your speedy recovery!

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
