He's not a big 125-pounder, so why would he need to lose a bunch of weight like that? It doesn't make sense. It's a case of a freshman not being very disciplined.

We're giving a lot of weight away to some really nice horses. Hopefully he can overcome it.

I think the thing he really needs to do to get better is put in more time in the weight room. Last year, we did a little bit of weight work with him. This year, we've tried to do a little more. He needs to get stronger.

We have a lot of young guys who are inconsistent with their performances -- you just never know sometimes what they're going to do. They need to build confidence and trust what they do in practice when they get out here.

This was the plan: we would take a holy and sacred picture of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Elvis Presley, to the very summit of the earth; once there, we would place it with sincere reverence amongst the chimerical shimmering palaces of ice and snow and then (accompanied by some weird Zen magic) we would light joss sticks, dance about making screechy kung-fu noises, get off our faces, and that would be it: Planet Earth saved. Simple.

Chris is very athletic. When he moves and attacks, guys have trouble staying with him.
