Trim the roster, play more games per week, shorten the season, hand out the fewest scholarships of all the sports at the university, discourage any chances of attending summer school, don't transfer, especially if it's in your best interest...and... we want you all to get better grades, graduate on time…and oh yeah, we just signed a big fat extension with ESPN, so smile when your mug is on TV.

The better the grades, the better the chance of getting into the school you really want to attend.

After all of the fall and winter strength and conditioning most of you focused on this semester, enjoy the holidays with some good old fashion couch potatoing. You may want to throw in a push up or a crunch in there every once in a while, but overall, this is a good time to relax.

Be the one that works the hardest and really try to stand out. It helps if you have the talent to back it up, but having the heart goes a long way too.
