Here’s your link for the 11 a.m. chat. Join the fun. If not, I have two alternatives:

1) Look for a transcript later.
2) Check out Darwin Cook, who is very happy to be back in the good graces of the football program.

I don’t think there was every a question that they’d be gone from the program. Both had been, and in many cases still are, model citizens who are good to be around and good to have around. But, hey, good on Cook for adding sincerity to the situation, which we often don’t see. I don’t know, but I feel better knowing he took the situation and the consequences seriously. Garvin was the same. He wasn’t as dramatic, but was no less contrite and ready to create new impressions.

They had a bad day — Garvin memorably called it a “dumb accident” — and they paid for it, but now they’re taking the lead for a young defense and being asked to do the same for a pretty good team.

“That’s a good feeling because I’ve been working hard and trying to do the best I can do,” said Garvin, who was a safety before being moved to the “Star” outside linebacker position this season, but who also missed spring practice after a knee injury ended his season and required surgery before the Orange Bowl.

“I always wanted to be a leader. That’s something my mom and dad always told me to try and do and I’m going to do the best I can. Certain things happened and I’m trying to get everyone’s trust and become a better leader every day.”
