Bucket Lists

[xu koop scoop]

Koop Scoop had season tickets 1990-2006. Other tickets 1980 till I retired in 2012 in order to fill kayaking adventures on Bucket Lists. Health became shaky then. XU winning a BE Championship, BE Tourney Championship & Final 4 Trip were on Bucket Lists. Winning it all a dream too, but not in the Bucket. I am ill with a rare facial disease known as TN. Still live in Ohio but in Fla every winter .It just hit hard a week ago & I may be too out of it to watch games. But I did last night. I have pains where my face feels electrocuted or on fire. Sometimes they just keep going & I kick walls, beat the floor, etc.... A few prayers would be welcome. I'm sure other fans (I'm only 66) suffering too. Titled this Bucket Lists cause some others may need prayers, but the Bucket List theme should mainly be about XU achieving uncharted waters. God Bless all who write here. You help keep me going. I may return to full health as I have had 4 surgeries for same problem. Had 14 kayak trips in Fla this winter, but currently shut down. XU Basketball & Blogs keep me going!!

My prayers are with you! I "retired" in 2004...am "only" 69...follow Muskies all season long...been since their days in the Garden...we used Schmidt FH when I went to X...a '71 graduate. I have roughly a 12-15 year gap into early 80's where family and work situation precluded my "fandom." During the last 20-25 years, I have added "gotta go to all of X's away venues", to root on the Muskies. Was about 2/3 the way through doing so in the A10, when we jumped to BE. I have only Creighton and Marquette to go...flying from upstate NY to Chicago tomorrow to support the team vs. DePaul, weather permitting. That is part of my X bucket list.
