I was going to make a joke about freshman girls, Juulie, but I thought better of it.

I'm still trying to figure out what they do in Dallas. I was the R in a freshman boys game last week and gave my quick captain's speech and asked my partner if he had anything to add, and he went off on a 2 minute rant about ridiculous topics like what happens if we have a fight, etc. I was half asleep by the time he was done, so I can only imagine how these poor kids could remain standing. My response when I'm not the 'R' and they ask me if I have anything to add: "Good luck."
