"I will say one thing about Marcus: I asked our guys yesterday when we were watching tape, I told them all of the background on Les [Miles] and all of that stuff," Self said. "Marcus follows sports more than anybody else on our team, he's got a better feel for it than anybody, and I said, 'What do you think Garrett?' And he goes, 'Love it. We all should love it.' So that right there is about as good of an endorsement as a guy could get when Marcus says that."

California Camp Fire: They survived the flames. But now they’re trapped.
Pulga is a ghost town, of sorts, located in a gully in a stunning part of the Feature River. I’ve gone there every couple of months or so for nearly four years, since my friend Betsy Ann Cowley bought the town from some people who had run a hypnotism school there since the mid-1990s. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, the area was home to hundreds of people who worked in the Vesuvianite mine and on the railroad and sent their kids to the town’s one-room schoolhouse. Most everyone left by the end of the ’60s, and today it’s just Betsy and a rotating cast of friends working to rebuild the property. Pulga is in the heart of the Camp Fire evacuation zone—and I went there last week to learn how people who had not gotten out were managing. Betsy is there now, and she can’t leave.
