KIRK FERENTZ: Good to see everybody. It has been a while. Everybody here has been busy covering a lot of good success stories. We’ve been quiet for a while, too, which isn’t all bad.
First of all, I want to congratulate Coach Bluder and the entire staff, her program, her team. It’s been so much fun to watch them.

Basically the winter program runs about eight weeks after the guys get back, a chance to work on their physical and mental development, and then during that same period the coaches are finishing up recruiting and then working on the system.
We transition after Spring Break into spring practice, and it’s a good opportunity for us to get on the field.
