Some guys might decide that it's a little too tough, a little too hard, a little too demanding.... I'll give you a little example - kinda sums up some things. I got an anonymous letter from a parent that said, "You know, we're kinda bummed out this year. The boys only get two weeks off before they start their summer conditioning program." Normally they get three. Well, we gave them a week at the start of the semester instead of the end, but here's my point, OK?

IT"S DIVISION ONE FOOTBALL! IT'S THE BIG 12! IT AIN'T INTRAMURALS! YOU GOT TWO WEEKS AFTER FINALS, YOU GOT A WEEK AT JULY FOURTH AND A WEEK BEFORE CAMP STARTS! THAT'S A MONTH! THAT'S PROBABLY MORE VACATION THAN YOU GUYS (reporters) GET! AND WE'RE A LITTLE BUMMED OUT THAT WE DON'T GET THREE WEEKS?

Go play intramurals brother. Go play intramurals.
