Amen

Any further word on this? How did surgery go? I assume it took place locally. Was the problem caused by something that occurred during the season? Or was it an existing problem?

I'm not sure of the details that caused the injury, maybe someone else can shed some light on that.

Some of the team members visited yesterday morning, she was groggy but seemed to be doing as expected. They were going to try and get her up and moving asap.

I sure hope that she is ok, she seems to be that team joker that keeps everyone loose on the field.

Awesome young defender -- and she played killer "air drums" to Megan's air guitar right before kickoffs last year. Tha's the joker spirit! I hope she is back to rock n rolling soon.

I was on campus last week to lock in the price of my season Basketball tickets for next year and walked past their practice.

Kassi was on the sidelines (obviously) killing time until surgery. The team started in on a new drill and she starts up with her patented rodeo-lasso-fist-pump thing.. you can see it at the very end of this video...

(and you can see Sweeney prompting her to do it)

I just had to break out laughing...

Ugh! I've been holding my breath and withholding comment since PilotPoser posted the news about Kassi surgery! Just didn't know enough to say anything about her situation.

But I can say that next to Megan...I thought she's was the other....most sprited Pilot! Loved her outright enthusiasm! I thought I read that she was captain of her club team before coming to UP. Well...her leadership experience was definitely on display last season...when she cheered and motivated her teammates! I sure hope we see her this season...but even if she has to redshirt...get well quick Kassi!!

GO PILOTS!!!
