Exams are tough opponents for athletes
Posted Dec 11, 2009
For David Wear and his teammates, the next week or so will be a routine unlike any they've undergone since late summer. Although there is a game against Presbyterian on Saturday, most of the players will spend much more time taking exams and studying than in formal preparations for an important Dec. 19 game against Texas in Dallas. It's a part of a season's journey that most fans never see and seldom give much thought to, but the players do.
