Indeed.  2007 and 2008 are looking very good.

Indeed.  We've got some pretty special freshmen waiting
in the wings.  I'm very optimistic about the future.

We've been told that the best performers in practice get
on the field, so I'm guessing that Glenn and Wilson aren't
doing so well in practice.  It might be that Glenn and 
Wilson aren't so good at catching passes.

Yeah, it reduced the tension considerably.  I understand
the logic of putting a high kick (with long hang time)
on the 5 yardline (and downing them inside the 15), but
it makes me very, very nervous.

Yeah, we're really going to miss that guy.
