even when Ole Les was here

Yeah, that is unusual, simply for the fact that a lot of coaches do schedule that way.

A fair amount of our weird OOC games in football and basketball have some connection to former programs and/or coaching staffs, like West Virginia, Kent State, and Arkansas State, for example.

Of course in Les' case, it does take two to tango—I guess it's possible he tried and they said no.

Those x's started to really mean something to me after a while

I'm fortunate to not be born with that gene (as we've discussed), but this overall motivational concept certainly helps me with other things, like eating healthy, not smoking, etc.

Once you've stuck it out for a while, it's hard to look back at something like that and not think, "Man, why would I screw up all of that progress for one extremely brief moment?"

That is, the farther I successfully move away, the more I don't want to waste the pain of what I've already accomplished.

To you I'm sure that's a grind (and I know it's hard work), but trust me, there are days where I'd love to be out there doing exactly that.

Funny how that grass can sometimes be greener.

That is fantastic, and even more impressive when you consider that he's only 22.

Kudos to him and to his parents for raising such a fine young man.
