[QUOTE="steebu, post: 481185, member: 740"] People often ask, "Geez, why doesn't he go shotgun? Why doesn't he throw more?" I honestly think it comes down to one thing: practice time. We've already seen reports that Taquon and others have had to leave practice early (or come late) because of schoolwork. And we also know that PJ doesn't use the full 20 hours of practice time because [U][I][B]school keeps our guys busy.[/B][/I][/U] For all the, "Stop using school as an excuse" folks I want to climb on my soapbox and slip out of Nice Guy Steebu for a moment: I want to punch you in your stupid face.
