So yesterday was interesting. Am still getting over my cold. Coughing a lot, taking a lot of useless medicine. I started coughing so much that my stomach muscles started to contract and tense-up. This has happened to me once before, maybe 4 or 5 years ago, and I had to go to the hospital to get a super-duper muscle relaxer. I was fine. It sorta feels like you're getting hit in the gut for an hour or so. Yesterday, this happened again and I was to the point I was at the emergency room parking lot trying to compose myself and stopped as I sat in my truck. I guess you could say that I had cramps that almost sent me to the emergency room.

Consider this your open thread for any of today's games. It's a game day, the men and women play today and tonight.
