We believe that we have three candidates who would be not only the top choices for the Drake athletic director but for any athletic director's job in the country.

I want them to be excited about being there, but not satisfied. It's like what (athletic director) Sandy Barbour told them, 'Go in there and participate. Just compete.' We will prepare them the best we can.

Believe it or not, yeah. They?re big and athletic and they?re very physical.

We're not the same hardy stock.

We approached (PLU athletic director Laurie Turner) about it and she was for it. It's good for each of our programs.

It is extremely important for you to believe in yourselves not only for what you are now but for what you have the power to become. Trust in the Lord as He leads you along. He has things for you to do that you won't know about now but that will unfold later. If you stay close to Him, You will have some great adventures. You will live in a time where instead of sometimes being fulfilled, many of them will actually be fulfilled. The Lord will unfold your future bit by bit.
