I don't have great expectations for them. But the cool thing is that on Oct. 30 -- when SMU is at Tulane -- I'll be in Minneapolis when they play host to Ohio State. I'm really looking forward to that and see Pryor play. I'm going to make it a yearly thing to honor my dad in this way.

Have a great day.
