He got a few dates and plays wrong, but nonetheless he did a great job. Wrubell has a good team with Scottie filling in for Meikle. Thanks to Nate we got a bit more insight to Bronco's program too. That's pretty classy stuff and we'll always have toughness, I think he was right when he said in the MC: "The best is yet to come".

"Coach Mendenhall is the greatest leader I have ever known. He is the consummate teacher, mentor, advocate, and friend. He endlessly pushes his players to their breaking point, and then asks them to give more, much much more. Then you learn something about yourself that he knew all along-âthat you are stronger than you once believed. That's why we're willing to "run through a brick wall" for him. That's why we love him. Because when you're standing all alone on the field, looking up to the sky waiting for the punt to come down, wondering if you're going to catch it, you remember there is one guy on the sideline that knows you are going to catch it. And he is right. Coach never demands more from his players than he demands of himself. "I will not get tired!" he told us in one of his first meetings as the new head coach. "You can try me, but I will not change!"

I admit I'm not one to follow many links simply due to time constraints but that one was a fantastic read! Great memories as Nate recounted his memories as a player and a reporter! A must read for all!

Go Cougs!!!
