I just hope the redshirt freshman is not a head case.

If I recall correctly the next day, Sunday, began the demolition of Bridgeforth to kick off the rebuild and expansion over the next 2 off seasons!! I remember picking up my daughter Sunday AM and walking by the stadium and they were already starting to dismantle things.
