I was a little leery with the weather like it is. The ice was about six inches thick. It was safe where we went.

That's a thorn that has stuck in our sides for year. We went from being one of the best to the bottom 10 in the nation last year. I have let it be known from Day 1 in practice that we will not forget that.

It was crazy. I spent more than one night in my car so that I would be the first in the home on signing day to make sure my recruit didn't sign with someone else.

It was dramatic. The big thing you look for on special teams is changing field position. When your team is struggling, a big play in the kicking game can give your team a spark. We didn't get enough of that last year.

I like to go places that are not tourist traps, ... We have enough of those.

It was a bull moose, walking right through town. I had been to Alaska before, and I've seen moose, but that was a hell of a deal. That's not something you see on your average recruiting trip.

As has been well publicized, the golf industry has experienced dramatic shifts for the past 10 to 15 years. With the golf course construction boom of the 1990s, overdevelopment has become a real issue. While the golf economy is on the mend, there still are numerous challenges ahead. Under Tim's capable leadership, our new division is well equipped to work with owners and developers trying to navigate their way through these often confusing waters.
