[Competition Committee cochair and gezegde

 [Competition Committee co-chair and Tennessee coach] Jeff Fisher complained, and he's a defensive guy. It started before last year, actually. In our last three [annual] reports to the teams, we said we had to do something about the illegal contact. There was just getting to be too much of it. And as we went through last season, I don't want to use the term 'death threat,' but there was going to be a clear emphasis made on clarifying the rule after the season. By the end of last year, it was well on our radar screen.

 [During the 2003 season, McKay said, there were several complaints about the lax enforcement of the rules regarding contact beyond five yards of the line of scrimmage.] [Competition Committee co-chair and Tennessee coach] Jeff Fisher complained, and he's a defensive guy, ... It started before last year, actually. In our last three [annual] reports to the teams, we said we had to do something about the illegal contact. There was just getting to be too much of it. And as we went through last season, I don't want to use the term 'death threat,' but there was going to be a clear emphasis made on clarifying the rule after the season. By the end of last year, it was well on our radar screen.

 Last year is last year. That doesn't do anything to the season this year. It would be a shame to invalidate a whole season, all that hard work. But they're going to rule how they're going to rule. We're not going to let it affect this year or next year.

 The league isn't as strong as it was last year. Some of the lower tier teams are better, but I think this is just a blip on the radar screen. ... We're still happy with what we've accomplished this year. We're doing things this year that we weren't doing last year. It shows that we've learned from our experience.

 It's definitely a different mind-set. I'll work just as hard if not harder. It's always felt like my season started Sept. 5 and not Oct. 5. Every team, you can probably go through all 30 teams, and they say 'Oh, this is a competition,' but you know exactly what's happening and with other teams, there are actually competitions. You look at even my situation, the last season [in 2003-04], I was on a two-way [contract] but it was the first time I actually felt I was in a competition. The two or three years before, the writing was basically on the wall. It didn't really matter. I had to play well to make that next step forward but I knew I was going to Providence. I think the last season was a legit competition. I had to play well and I actually had a shot and fortunately it worked out.

 Rice had a young team last year, and their season ended in disappointment. Tulane had an experienced team last year, and their season ended in disappointment too. [Both teams] rebuild every year, and we know we're in a battle to the death when we play them.

 It's too early to say whether an Internet privacy bill will be passed this year. It depends on other agenda issues like tax and campaign finance that need to be settled first. It's on the radar screen; some have even said it is the radar screen, but I don't think that's so.

 [Expect the biggest revivals in Kansas City (major defensive upgrades), Arizona (veteran QB Kurt Warner, Arrington, and second-year coach Dennis Green), and Carolina (decimated by injuries but still almost made the playoffs last year).] Kansas City has a scintillating offense and a much better defense [than last year], ... They're poised for a great season.

 [Was Miami's 9-3, 2004 season a mere bump in the road or a sign of further trouble ahead? We'll begin to find out Monday night when the No. 9 'Canes -- sporting their lowest preseason ranking in six years -- visit 14th-ranked Florida State for the teams' now-annual, season-opening grudge match.] It's a very short distance from the White House to the outhouse, ... We're underneath the radar a little bit right now, though not far. I think our players would much rather read about us than some of those other teams, and it's going to be a little bit of a motivating factor.

We'll begin to find out Monday night when the No. 9 'Canes -- sporting their lowest preseason ranking in six years -- visit 14th-ranked Florida State for the teams' now-annual, season-opening grudge match.] It's a very short distance from the White House to the outhouse, ... We're underneath the radar a little bit right now, though not far. I think our players would much rather read about us than some of those other teams, and it's going to be a little bit of a motivating factor.

 [To live his greatest day as a coach, Scott Long would have to relive his worst day as a player. The defensive ends coach of those 1-AA Missouri State Bears stepping up to play 1-A Arkansas in Saturday’s 6 p.m. season opener at Reynolds Razorback Stadium, Long was a starting Arkansas senior defensive tackle in 1992 when The Citadel of 1-AA stunned Jack Crowe’s Razorbacks, 10-3 in the season opener in Fayetteville.] I talked to somebody about that yesterday, ... A reporter brought up that you are a I-AA school going to a 1-A and you have no chance. You can look at it all on paper like that. But it comes down to a group of 18 to 23-yearolds from Arkansas versus a group of 18 to 23-year olds from Missouri. That’s why we have to play it out and see how it comes. Every year things do happen.

 I don't know that there's been a year where there's been greater parity. Strength of schedule is something we do look for and it's important to the committee. The schedule Tennessee played this year and plays most years, however, as close as it was, we felt that Tennessee this year was a No. 2 seed.

 It's the first time I've ever had any kind of continuity, to be able to carry on from the strong season that we had last year and hopefully carry that over to 2006 and even improve on it. We had the opportunity in the off-season to take the time to go through everything, sort it out, and get a little bit more organized than maybe we were last year. Last season we had to put everything together in such a hurry. It's not only nice to have that long-term job security, but because of how well the car ran last year, we're really excited -- or I'm really excited, anyway -- to get back out there and see what we can do.

 Starting the season at Daytona is always enjoyable for me. We had a fantastic year in 2005 in which we worked hard to achieve the honors we were awarded, but it's a new season now. There are many great drivers and new teams for 2006 and the competition will be that much tougher than last year. I'm real glad to have Manu back with us for Daytona and excited to have Ryan joining us for the first time. He's a great young talent.

 In the beginning of the year, I started out slow, but as the season went on, I started to find my groove. Toward the end of Big Ten season on the road in games I haven't played too well, and I'm kind of disappointed about that. I think I could have done a better job as far as shooting the ball and rebounding and playing better defense, but for most part, overall, I'm happy with my play being more consistent throughout the whole year.
