It's a very difficult place to go to school academically and militarily. Our job is extremely difficult. I'm praying we can continue to keep this group of people.

It's a good experience because our players get to go in the cockpit. I ended up going in the cockpit when we were taking off. It just gives you a great appreciation for what we're all about at the Air Force Academy and our players having a chance to interact with the pilots. I know our players are always excited, especially the freshmen.

You'd like to think that it could, but we still have to recruit well and continue to play hard. We always need to recruit better.

Certainly, it was phenomenal. It was a big, big win for us. It ranks right up there.

I was an elementary school teacher.

I went to high school in Stockton, CA.
