Have you ever been in a rush to get to classes and ran into a big blue tarp when trying to get through the Quad? Have you gotten lost amongst piles of poles and dirt while trying to find your way into the gym?

Chris Bates brought 110 percent to the lacrosse field everyday. I never questioned that; I didn't have to.
