    Forgot about that one.

    Yeah but we lose out on way too much in state talent. But I guess it kinda evens out as we pull some from the others too. But this really was intended as a sarcastic statement due to the lack of our success over the last few years.

    Not sure about that one but we do have a lot of granite.
