12/5: #22 Mississippi ST, 4-0, is here. We should have a big edge on the boards.
We're #6.
12/6: It's close early. Tied after 10. Up 5 at the half. 12 fro back up C/F Fero Miri. +6 RBs, 3 TOs, +22 in the paint. The refs aren't calling much but what they are calling is against us. Up 8 with 10 to play.
80-64. Good D. 21, 12 for Miri; I'm impressed! 12, 3 for Witt, who filled in brilliantly for Cole, who is now 100%. 8 TOs to 17. +36(!) in the paint.
We're 9-0.
"HI Ali. What's up?"
"Just wanted to let you know that I'm in pretty serious talks with Cal-Berkeley about their A. D. Position."
"About that. This might be a good time to let you know that if I can manage it, this is my last season as a head coach. Now that I'm a dad I want to do less
travelling. If you actually do leave I'll be applying for the A. D. job here."
"Wow! That's a shock! Hey, if I get the job at Berkeley I'll do what I can for you here."
