I've talk to the man on a few occasions. He seems very happy in Denton. I hope we can hang onto him until he is ready to retire.

I'll be going to our scrimmage tomorrow morning. It's way too early to know if we are going to be able to adequately fill all the holes left by our seniors that graduated, but I can't wait to see who's ready to step up and make their mark on our program. I'll post a scrimmage wrap-up.
