surgery over the past 25 years. Absolutely grueling, with the mental and emotional aspects of it being the most difficult. I couldn't imagine the physical and mental fortitude for doing what Taysom's done in the span of four years, and with the latest coming amidst the personal tragedy he's endured. This is the fearless general I want to see lead our Cougars.

I'm beyond anxious to see him complete a successful, healthy year this year and wish him the best in everything he does beyond.
