Have we had two guys who seemingly bleed Ohio green this much entering their freshman year who are also so talented as Butler and Kirk? Saw comments on Twitter about how happy they are to be in Athens at Ohio! Saw a video of Jaaron by Michigan hoops and didn't even feel terrible. Of course I would like to have Jaaron another year but judging from attitude, winning and film Kirk and Butler seem very exciting. While they will make mistakes I am excited to see them in March. And we have Laster, Block and Dartis for them to learn from...very good mentors!

This brings to mind one of my favorite videos regarding attitude. Attitude is so contagious. Both ways. I've played it for my son too many times to count. Great message.
