Oops, I just checked this post and realized that the interview with Jeff Byers, which I thought was the most interesting article of the day (and motivated me to make the OP), somehow wasn't included in the post. So I've added it to the post. If you've already read the post and the articles linked in them, I encourage you to also read the StateCollege.com article which I added.

Byers: "For Joe Lee, I think it’s a matter of finding that passion for the sport again"

Byers article was definitely interesting and insightful. Interesting about Carter taking jumps forward., Big on Beau and Kerk as well. Seems like he has knowledege of Hildebrandt hopefully of joining PS team. Interesting comments on Joe Lee and passion. Sounds like it's been a toughest year for Joe. Hope he is back on track. I'm definitely interested in seeing how Barraclough does tonight against a decent Army kid.

I'm with you. Who knows, once everything shakes out we might find Bearclaw at 157 and a rejuvenated Joe Lee at 165.
