Really cool diary posting by Easton on his wild handful of days. For those that don't want to read, I found it interesting that he met with 25 of the 32 teams in the speed round of interviews.

Easton Stick reminds me of Steve Young.

That's a good comparison, however, the NFL QB he reminds me the most, and I've stated this before, is another #12:

With as much little sleep and nutrition he got, he still performed pretty well. Even more impressive is that he did extra work as a throwing QB.

Agreed, Chris. Hope it didn't go unnoticed by the teams.

Medium Ribeye.... good choice.

"I gave a little speech in the White House, and then he invited us into the Oval Office. It was so surreal. Seeing the desk and thinking of everything that has gone down in that room, it gives you the chance to soak that all in. It was remarkable."

Very cool that the Pres. took them into the Oval Office.

Any steak at St. Elmo's is a good choice. It's one of the top 10 independent steak houses in the country and very popular especially when there are special events in town.

In 2006 I was the team host for George Mason when they were here for the Final Four. They stayed at the same Crowne Plaza which is located in the old train station. Some of the rooms are converted train cars! The GM of the hotel at the time was from South Dakota. I made reservations for the team at St. Elmo's one evening. They ended up seated next to Billy Packer who was very critical of their selection on the selection show. They got to confront him in person and by all accounts it was a very cordial and professional conversation. Be ready to drop $60-$70 minimum per person for dinner. The shrimp cocktail is legendary and heavy on the horseradish.

After they lost the semi-final game to Florida I was in the lobby talking with one of the players (they could now roam around freely as nobody wanted to talk with them any longer). Another gentleman was waiting patiently to speak with me. When I finally introduced myself he said, "I'm Gene Taylor, AD of North Dakota State." I had met friends of his earlier in the weekend and mentioned I was an NDSU grad. They pointed me out to him. We had a great conversation and have run into each other a few times since then. He really is a nice and genuine person and I am happy to see him continue to succeed.
