Umm, I feel like I should say I want to go to prom, but I don’t know if I do, actually [laughs]. I’ve never been to a high school football game though, and I’d kind of like to go to one of those. [Laughs] So, I guess that’s my new goal. more here. sooo not surprised, but i hope she can stay healthy and have a good career at bama.

You want to fall on it? Awesome.’ Now, realistically looking at the numbers, there was no way we could’ve won gold. The Chinese were amazing and even if we did our absolute best performances,...
