Come on, everyone! Way too early for the dejection. In the past he calls as late as 8pm, and sometimes even Wed morning. The man also has to take a break at some point! Calm down. Breathe. Posted from my mobile device

Rumor has it that DB is going for a solid 10 hours nonstop this year......no bathroom breaks or anything. He wants to show the admits how dedicated they are at the GSB.....just what a little birdie was saying.
