It's just good, clean football. It's a rivalry and all, but there's not that hate or anything like that. But being neighbor counties, we still want to beat them and they want to beat us. |
It's just part of the game. What I like is they kept fighting back. They didn't get discouraged. They came up with some huge plays, and that's a good thing. |
It's one thing to go the day before the game when it's empty. It's another thing to go early enough on the day of the game where you can feel the atmosphere already a little bit. |
It's our responsibility to provide (the fans) with a kind of team that they can get excited about. That's what we are hard at work doing. We really are. |
K.J. (Smith)'s had a very good camp. He had a good spring ball and I like him there (at middle linebacker). I think it's a good position for him. |
Making decisions all the time leaves less time to reflect. At the time I'm knee-deep in budgets, so today I just walked . . . through classrooms. I see the faces of the kids to clear my head. It helps them to be visible to me. |
No. No. No. No, ... I'm not going to do that. If I did that, I'm blaming (starting quarterback Perry Patterson). I'm not going to blame him. |
not visibly troubled by the violation of the internees' civil rights. |
Now, my wife has a vote, but I don't know who the other two are, ... I like that, though. I think we're gonna keep getting better. |
Our blocking downfield was big. When you go running right through the offensive line without anybody touching you, something good is going on there. Once (Rhodes) got into the open field they weren't going to catch him. |
Our kids are improving every week. We have all kinds of talent, but some days we don't play to our potential and this was one of those days. |
People have to vent. Perceptions are created, and boy, I try like heck to keep that to a minimum. That's when things can get goofy and out of whack. |
People want it to work. I understand that, |
People want it to work. I understand that. I understand the frustration of our fans. I understand the frustration of our coaches. I understand the frustration of our players. We all want it to work. |
Perry is a better passer today than he was in November. I know how hard he's worked. March and April have been a lot of fun for him. |
