Published Thu. Aug 14th, 2025 Bitter Rivals Become Great Friends

During the time I had my stroke and later my fall that resulted in a broken hip, I spent time in the PAM South Rehab Center where I received unbelievably good care. Kenny Tien was the head of my rehab team and he was a devoted Longhorn fan. Once he found out who I was we teased each other every day about how ironic it was that a Texas fan was healing an Oklahoma fan. Once the word spread who I was and about my website I spent hours with patients dropping by to talk college football. I swear it accelerated my healing process by keeping up my spirits. Hats off to PAM Rehab CEO Allyson Cann ( a huge Sooner fan) for running such a great facility!
