Favorite food? That is tough, I pretty much eat anything. If I had to say one thing, it would be crab legs.

Joe Paterno is ... a man among boys.

Person you would most like to meet and why? Brian Urlacher for a couple of reasons. He's a great linebacker, but then you also see him on those United Way commercials and everything and he is a great guy off the field.

Text messaging: Love it or hate it and why? I liked it at first, but when I first started getting text messages from college coaches and my parents showed me the phone bill, it wasn't too nice of a sight. I got yelled at and they didn't understand why the bill was that high. It wasn't any fun. So, I don't like text messaging all that much.
