And finally, you know that line, "Round the girdled earth they roam?"
I just got an email from a former player who was here Saturday and is now in Moscow. Yesterday I got an email from an alum working in Nairobi. And one of the questions asked of Coach Teevens came from Florence.
Just when I wonder if it's worth the time doing the BGA Daily I hear from people around the world and think yeah, I guess it is ;-)
