Yes, EJ and Taylor Thompson were both at the table with Pride and us.

Both very impressive young men.

That was a fantastic Q&A with JJ. Really good stuff.

No Swanny? Imagine he is practicing his radio screaming in front of the tape recorder.

Great stuff. Hearing the band play Peruna has me fired up for the Rice game.

Orsini really struggled when delivering his remarks.

I didn't go. I listened to the audio tape that pf.com provided. I'm sure if you watched him, everything was great.

Listen to the tape. There's a lot of stammering and fumbling over lines. This is not the first time I've heard Orsini do this. I will tell you that a guy I know was there and said the same thing.

Steve's not a great speaker. However, that doesn't preclude him from being a great AD. I think he's putting this department in a great position.

No one's perfect. I'm making an observation.

I listened to the recording and I have to say I agree. SO says the right things but his delivery is clumsy. It's not a big deal, but when compared to JJ who is such a smooth talker, it just really stands out.

I still love SO.
