I hadn't listened to a podcast with Deace in it for some time but I thought I might enjoy listening to his meltdown...and I did enjoy it...for about a minute. But now I hear that whiny voice in my head and I can't get it out! Help! (For the record Jon's pretty amateurish at podcasting too...

I think gaining insight to what a customer is thinking is important in and of itself. There may be no other reason for it although I doubt it. But I wasn't in on the meetings prior to the launch of this survey so I don't know how this information is to be used. And neither does the writer...

I really am. As I wrote, can the defense, led by Norm's coaching, rise to the challenge? Or do you want to beat up a team from the MAC in Detroit? Bottom line - if you want to be the best you've got to play the best. Is Baylor the best team we can play? If so, le't play them.
