Forgive my absence since this morning. Took the afternoon off to spend some time with the kids. Please leave your questions in the comments section below, and I'll bring you some answers Friday.

I have a column coming in tomorrow's Journal, reflecting on all the changes wrought by new football coach Dan Mullen. An excerpt:

"The most celebrated change, of course, is the spread offense Mullen directed at Florida. It possesses no magical powers – don’t expect MSU to be throwing up 40 points a game this fall – but it’s a most welcome change from Sylvester Croom’s unproductive, ill-managed West Coast “attack,” which was more like an assault with Styrofoam hammers."
