It was pretty high, man. It was way up in the sky. My cousin from Midland called me and told me he saw it.

He is that good. He's a pretty tough young man and he's optimistic. He had one of his front teeth knocked out in practice the day before (last Friday), so we had to go find a dentist and get it fixed.

It was pretty obvious at the start of spring that I was the odd man out. That makes it pretty hard to get comfortable.

It's more of a precaution. Yesterday when the winds kicked up, we had some reports of students with skinned knees ... and broken windows.

Give them credit for changing defenses. We were doing a pretty good job against their man (-to-man). When they changed to a zone, we know what we had to do but we weren't executing it.

If you've seen the movie, Rain Man , that's pretty much who Daniel is. He's very high-functioning. He rides his own Harley - but he'll probably live with us until we're gone.
