Surgery... but hey Football has begun!

Well, surgery is scheduled for Sept. 11th. They will reconstruct my knee using a cadaver Posterier Tib. They are also removing the Meniscus on both sides. So no softball until next spring, but at least this happened after Cancun... and College Football has begun! Go Tech... beat Notre Dame!

Tech Players Press Conference Transcript
Tech is coming off a school-record ninth consecutive bowl game and its ninth straight winning season, including wins over No. 15 Auburn and No. 3 Miami. Head Coach Chan Gailey's Yellow Jackets return 15 starters, including three-year starting quarterback Reggie Ball and all-America wide receiver Calvin Johnson.
The Fighting Irish finished '05 with a 9-3 record and a berth in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Head Coach Charlie Weis begins his second year in South Bend, leading a potent offense featuring quarterback Brady Quinn, all-America wide receiver Jeff Samardzija and running back Darius Walker.

Walker rushed for 1,196 yards and scored nine touchdowns with seven 100-yard games for the Irish in `05.

"He is a big part of what is going on there," said Gailey about Walker. "We all know that he is a good ball carrier, but you don't realize how many passes he catches until you start looking at the statistics. When you start looking at the tape you realize how many times he catches the ball and makes something happen that way. He belongs in the same sentence with all those other great names on their offense."
