More than just you.  The BU radio announcers were drooling all over
their mikes, wondering how he got away from them.  It was fun to listen
to them talk about Maine's superior talent and how Maine finds recruits
that "nobody has heard of" ... develops and finds great players.

I just hope Ryan likes school and gives himself and us 4 years.  I don't
know if he can become a "Chris Imes" (and anyone that knows me knows
that is my highest praise!), but maybe ...  just maybe.  But then I've
just come from listening to Football Head Coach Jack Cosgrove discuss
and explain how his training players in leadership helped make this
year's success possible.  I'm psyched to think Prestin Ryan is getting a
similar education!

Pessimist!  I'm looking forward to seeing him play in April ...  twice!
