We've had such little practice time and game experience, and we're all in the same boat. I don't think any of the coaches would feel comfortable starting the championships this early in the season.

We have this discussion with parents in our practice all the time. Start them when they are young and they will grow up understanding about making financial decisions.

It's hard to get better just in practice. There's nothing like the experience of the game.

They've never had any game experience, but on the other hand they go out and practice against maybe one of the top five offenses in the nation every day.

Obviously they'll have an extra edge in having a year of experience and then spring practice this year. I'll do whatever I can to prepare and compete for the spot.

What we have here, I think, is quite a lot of noise with respect to this matter of clinical practice, who should decide, and what have you, ... but not enough information on the part of physicians and patients about how processes are actually working.
