Man, I get where you're coming from with the spring game caution, but our guys at Wheaton live for that competition, even in April. We build our toughness in those moments, and Coach Swider knows how to run a physical practice without putting our key players in unnecessry jeopardy. It's a balance, for sure, and injuries are a brutal part of the game that can happen anytime, but you can't operate in fear. Our Thunder culture is built on competing every single day. We've been fortunate with our approach, and it's paid off with consistent success in the CCIW. You have to prepare for a war in this conference, and that starts with how you practice in the spring. Sorry to hear about Rogers, that's always tough for any player and team. For us, we trust our process and our training staff implicitly to have our guys ready, not just for April, but for September and beyond.
