> I'm a Freshman at Washington State and I'm new to Pullman. I've got a first date with a girl and I was wondering if you might have some recommendations?

> First take her to CDs Pit House BBQ in Moscow, ID.  If she will get her hands dirty with some great BBQ, you will know you are on the right track!  Then I would go enjoy the incredible college life on College Hill at WSU but make sure you have the opportunity to talk to her a lot.

> If you could go back and be an assistant coach under any head coach, who would you want to learn under?

> Really I would like to draw from a lot of them.  It's awfully hard to nail it down to just one.  If I could observe a coach handling people in their program it would be John Wooden.
