It seemed like everybody was getting tired on me this weekend. I guess it's just because I've been working out extra and running every morning. That's been helping me out a lot.

We had a different third every weekend. It was hard to get on a roll.

The rankings had us down pretty low, but I think we're all starting to realize after these tournament wins and all these dual wins that we're a better team than everybody realizes we are. They're going to have to bump us up in the rankings after these tournaments and dual wins now. Everyone's going to start realizing Truman State's on the move.

It seems like they have a lot of guys that all work hard, and their coach pushes them pretty good. He manages to motivate them without upsetting them, running them down or making them not want to work. That's what makes them a very good team - the motivation.

I'm optimistic about the weekend. But I had the same scenario last year - 5th at World Cup Finals - then I got smoked at nationals so I'm not going to count my chickens.

We planned on stopping (subscriptions) on the Monday after opening weekend, ... But we shut it off on Aug. 23. We are at 62 percent. That's insane - it's unheard of for us.
