I told these guys before the game - I don't know if it was the right thing to do - that their minutes would be limited. In the second half, I told them I was going to take them out. No matter what the score was, they weren't playing. That could take some of the focus away from the task at hand. Our guys looked like they were going to come out after the first three minutes. |
I touched the wall and when I saw that I was first it was overwhelming. I hadn't had the best meet going in. Until today actually, I felt pretty bad in the water. |
I usually start with Merry Christmas or Happy New Year, and then say, 'Can you take a look at that last call. |
I wanted to go to the biggest conference I could. The SEC is one of the best conferences in the country and when I went down there, they treated me really good and I really liked the players and coaches who I met. |
I was disappointed with our effort. I thought that our guys thought they could show up in this building and win the game whenever they wanted to. We didn't take care of the basketball. We didn't share the basketball. We didn't do a good job of defending. They beat us from top to bottom. They deserved to win. |
I was glad the things that got through did get through. It's a start on the quarterback thing; I don't think the whole story has been written on that one. We were glad we took a step forward. |
I was like, 'Holy Moley! That was one of the most athletic plays I've ever seen. |
I was proud of our freshmen, Ronald Fortune and Charles Brooks, the way they played when they came in. |
I was thinking deep thoughts and not paying attention. |
I watched (a tape of) the game and I had to chuckle. I don't know if I'll see that again. I'm not talking about this series. I'm talking about the rest of my life. |
I will be making more. Significantly more. |
I would have preferred at this time no deal. That doesn't mean we wouldn't have continued on. |
I would have preferred at this time no deal. That doesn't mean we wouldn't have continued on. We have a contract for two more years when we made this deal. I would have wanted to bargain for a better deal in the future. |
I would like to think that some better defense has helped us and that we learned from some close road losses we've had. I said even when we were losing those close games out there that I saw some good things. |
I would say right now, out of all their skill-position players, Kevin is their best one. Just because they can turn around and hand him the ball. The receivers, they have a whole bunch of talent, and if they are able to stay healthy and get a little rhythm on offense, they can be real dangerous. |
