totally off the wall question -- but I was just looking up the OU website to check on Ty -- something I haven't done in a substantial period of time - and he is not listed on there anymore -

what happened to TY ?

what happened to TY ?

mr barrington told me last fall that he suffered some kind of injury(i can't even imagine the morbidity/mortality i would suffer if i tried to pole vault) and wouldn't be able to compete any more.

Do you mean the one that had a runway and an indoor vaulting pit? Yes, I've seen that one. Definitely different; it must have made some real estate agent a bit crazy when they went to sell it.

Ha that would be it. I believe both his parents were architects and designed it themselves. MAN that was one rich family, I mean, who buys their son a Dodge Viper are like 22??? haha

It must have been that heel. I will have to give Brad a call - Havent had a chance to play ball with him lately since he moved out west. He sold his house pretty quickly actually. He is building homes again and developing - he and Jacobson. Seem to be doing really well. - Both humble, intelligent fellows with good families.

Sad to hear that about Ty. He is a good egg.
