[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

Excellent point - I totally forgot to give him a game
ball as I was fuming over the play calling on the
flight home. My friend Sue (the one who made the

-- he looked good all around. And while the punts may
have been ugly, punt and kick coverage -- led by
McManis -- were excellent all day.

GO CATS!!!
