Now, the physical part, I don't know. He hasn't shown that aggressiveness when he goes to hit you.

It's a little scary because he hasn't shown he can make a tackle in the Big 12. That's an issue. It's one thing to cover people, and he's become pretty adequate at that. I think he's going to become a great player in the future, or at least a very good one. But the physical aspect is what concerns me now.

I don't know how he practices. He has adequate speed for the position when he's healthy, and anytime something slows him down, he'll make up for it mentally. He's that kind of player; he'll make the adjustments and still be one of our better players.

Amen, sister, ... All apologies to Tom Cruise.

'Pastoralia' by George Saunders. Possibly my favorite book. It's one of the weirdest books I've ever read. If Monty Python and Thomas Pynchon had a love child, and it was raised by Frank Zappa on a weird commune, that would be this book.

Many of the founding fathers either traveled through or at some point stayed here in our city.
