Hey live near the University of Texas! Maybe I can see him there!

I have a few friends who should make it in the NFL in four years

Dude that's sweet, what state do you live in, because my teacher was telling me something about this...

That is awesome. Some friends I graduated with are playing at Marshall, Notre Dame and Navy. We are all seniors this year. But nothing like that..

I went to the same high school as Shaun Alexander tho. That was pretty cool.

Thats awsome!
