Glad you put this up here. I was pretty frustrated about the game last night and received the 12 weeks news a few minutes later. Helped put things in perspective quickly.

Incredibly sobering. My wife lived directly across the hall from Bailey in Collins between 2003-2004. I got to know her a little bit between that and the business school -- I just hate this for them.

Prayers to them.

Park Cities Baptist is a great church that gave our church in Galveston 500K after Hurricane Ike destroyed the electrical system as well as set up a trailer in the lot for people to shower or wash their clothes since we didn't have water.

Brandon - thanks for posting this. I've been praying for Andrew and Bailey, who is one of my favorite former students and someone who I would want my daughters to look up to. I know people who went to Baylor/Truett with Andrew who speak highly of him, as well.

I appreciate you passing on the link so that fellow Bears can not only pray, but also hopefully support these alums. I'm thankful for such a great University and its people who support one another in joys and in trials!

Sic 'em.

Scott Huckabay? As in, Little Abner from Scoop?

I have not heard about this. Can anyone share?

yes- I'm copying and pasting the info from bearscoop:

From Clavine:

Most of you remember him, great poster on this site with terrific insights into our football program. His name is Scott Huckabay and he was a fraternity brother of mine and a few others that are fellow Scoopers. He was diagnosed a few months ago with pancreatic cancer and was given about six months to live. He has experienced complications recently and appears to have days/weeks left. Very, very sad.

Scott was an SAE with me in the graduation class of '88, I graduated in '89 enjoying five full years. He was a all world RB at Plano HS back in their glory years and was highly recruited and played for Teaff. Scott is a terrific guy and is currently in a hospital in Plano. He is a Christian and appears to be at peace with what he is facing.

Thought some of you might want to know.

Jerry Hill is the one to contact if you want it posted on the Insider

When he and I served at PCBC together, it was fun to hear him talk about Leach and GuyMo.

Thanks to all your efforts we have passed the 53% mark on the fundraising.

Keep praying for Andrew and Bailey, thanks for your support.

According to Facebook, Scott Huckabay has passed away.

Huck did pass today. I got the news earlier. His dad said he passed peacefully.

Here is an update on Andrew's condition:

Last week we received a small ray of hope from one of our doctors. We met with a neurosurgeon and she told us that the tumor in Andrew’s brain was actually one centimeter instead of three centimeters and that the doctors weren’t sure the other 3 spots in his brain were tumors. One radiologist thought Andrew had cancer in the fluid of his spine, but the neurosurgeon told us this defiantly wasn’t the case (whew). Andrew ended up being a candidate for gamma knife surgery (it’s very star treky) basically 200 beams of radiation shoot into the tumor in his brain (it is a one time treatment). The other option was brain surgery, which is extremely invasive and could have some pretty bad long term affects. We were really excited to hear that he was a candidate for the gamma knife! He should undergo the surgery in a couple of weeks. We have to meet with another neurosurgeon and then we will get the green light to set up the surgery.

Sick to my stomach about Scott. He was a great guy in all my dealings with him. Prayers to all his family and friends.

Encouraging news on Andrew Heard.
