It's been hard as heck for those seniors. They've given their hearts to the program for four years.

It's not the way it's supposed to be drawn up with two of the four seniors who have had an impact on the program. Two seniors not really having a chance to play, it's unfortunate.

It's hard to say good-bye to seniors who have picked your program up and put it on their shoulders and do it with the integrity and character that they did. Losing is losing, but I'd much rather keep these guys around.

These four (along with seniors Tyler Russell and Cody Hagerman) have set a tone for our program, now and in the future, with how hard they worked. When I think of Brandon and Chad, I think of all the hours they put in the gym improving their skills.

It means so much to the seniors. They've had some hard times, but they're resilient and they never quit. They always fought hard.

Heck, ... they want to go for it, we'll go for it.
