basically college drop fun funny given musically nickname rhymes secret spin
It was a nickname given to me by some college friends, ... It was kind of made up because I spin the rhymes and drop the dimes. But I basically make fun of myself because I'm not musically inclined. I don't have a whole lot of rhythm, so it's funny and it rhymes. It just kind of stuck. I don't really tell a whole lot of people, but now the secret is out.

They're playing that role of the spoiler. They want to get in there and knock people off. From the start tonight we knew it was going to be a tough game. In the first half, they made it really tough.
add dj effective execution game
As much as I try to add pizazz and flare, which makes the game great, there is a lot to be said about execution and making the right plays. All that DJ Whay and hoopla and stuff, if it's effective and it's working, then great, but I'll take execution before pizazz for a championship any day.
core except fighting fights-and-fighting people
That's what you want is a competitive camp. You want to have people fighting for positions. Except for Brooke, we have our core back.
