It'll be harsh for anyone. If I didn't have all this to keep me busy, I would be the laziest man on Earth. Pelle's schedule looks like a never-ending fast break that never slows its tempo. He goes to class at eight in the morning straight until one in the afternoon. Subjects like biology, psychology, geography and science and ethics keep him busy.
Game days vary in that players have to leave class early and prepare for the nights night's battle.
After a day of classes on Friday, Feb. 25, Pelle and the Buffs boarded a plane in the evening to Nebraska for an away game against the Cornhuskers. Pelle always has a hard time sleeping on planes. With two and a half-hours to burn on the trip, he flicks on the overhead light to read one of his many science books. As game time approaches, the pressure of playing a televised conference game doesn't bother Pelle as he reads his textbook. I just think about the team and my game just comes along.
