Question about PR

Doesn't bother me as I think he was just jack up due to the situation. If you watch the couple of interviews he has on youtube, I think he speaks well and direct.

Gene was IMO pretty good, but he says "Awlburn" down there.

I know this was posted somewhere else as well.....but I really like the personality he shows here. You can tell he really likes the guy sitting next to him by his facial expressions when the guy talks. Fun video to watch.

Well, in that case, I see the difference - Paul Rhoads doesn't say "uh," "ah," or "um" every other word every time he talks.

IMO, PR came off very well in all interviews yesterday...VERY well.

Faces arent important, thats why the brown sack was invented, and the light switch.

But he was definitely full of emotion, first head coaching job, talking in front of a crap load of people, on the go Q & A, excited to be back home, and everything else in between. I thought he did an awesome job. I've seen way worse people talk in public.

Youve seen this guy?

Let me warn you..its awfully painful!!

PR speaks very well. I thought yesterday could not have gone any better.

Good to know he is sharp (valedictorian), that tells me alot about him.

He will find success at ISU.

It sounded almost Cajun when he first started speaking.

I have noticed that some really smart people when they are excited, have the brain working a lot faster than the mouth can move so they appear to stammer and stutter a little, no big deal in my book, he will be fine.

BTW, I do miss the scenery on 33's posts!!!
