He dosn't even think about it.  My goal, says Tag,  is to prepare and help the team win. Then hatever happens, happens. <br>With young men like Tag, our naion will survive and become even greater. What an inspiration! We will use a lot of Tag's methods in our BFS Clinics from now on. I will not wish him luck but wish him continued health so he can continue to prepare and we hope to see Tag making it big in the big league <br>someday.ZMb~׿tG\Ӛ&pCNb@{[ %_Z WpўqN2dcpc69\?3@A=Yv)ۣ񹀫FAAWLz5CVPNd[oA4.^hF2)]PW[_16zfpb#Q{[[0i %m5ݐ\ :D5b%#`~,Q*e-vTAL 5`XRWChP&{QH'R ֫_%vASU>#>"5!V,*Ɲ0 @qH Mk4,UQG|hc]{=2Z쎧$VW >{,aS槮$c-UPA 05~Y81/>) "Y"2rf809gz1ѪgG?2>_kK ާ y˵0=kQd[OS[znIm~#9'ru`261+qj'Cdi"@G#QŤ"AqXtvOVHE0b)qqr 0)s9 R
