Timmins Up Close
Someday I would like to take a trip to: the moon
What stands out most about Coach Vanderlinden is: he is honest
The best advice I've ever received is: "Be your own boss."
My craziest ambition is: to go sky diving
If I could change one thing in the world, it would be: no rainy days
If I could change any rule in college football, it would be: eliminate halftime, who needs it?
