All the tests so far have come back normal. I am just anxious to get back to work. |
Basically I'm going into surgery and I'm rolling the dice. I said, 'Why not go to Vegas?' But I never did get to feeling good enough to do that. |
Everybody wants to talk about Nick, but we have some competition there. It is going to be interesting to see what happens. |
He (Carroll) makes them a whole different beast to defend. |
He'll be a very good player in our program as time progresses. |
I am not going to say that Nick is a better runner than Joel because we don't know that yet. But they both have that same type of athletic ability. |
I feel like I'm getting better each day. I've been going hard and strong, and hopefully that will continue. |
I have kidney cancer. At this point in time, they feel very confident that they got everything. They run tests to make sure it hasn't spread. There has never been an indication from anyone that it has spread. |
I really haven't had any recovery time. I'm still swelling and a little sore. But I'm not one to sit around. The busier you stay, the less your mind worries about something you can't control. |
I think they are a whole lot more fired up about lifting than going into that old fox hole that they used to lift in. It is definitely much better than the situation we were in. |
It is amazing what Allen has done for us this spring, as far as learning our offense. And he is a tremendous athlete -- one of the best on our team. |
It started when we were 4-8 and beat Northern Iowa and Western Illinois. The next year we got off to a good start because we had found a way to win. Winning becomes a habit just like losing is a habit. |
It was a very physical hard-fought game on a hard surface. You are going to have some of that sometimes. |
It's a slow process, I'll tell you. It's a little bit frustrating. I want to go full-tilt right now. I'm just kind of working my way into it. We've got such a young team, it's not like I can take five or six days off. It's just the first time I've ever had anything I couldn't control in life. So it is frustrating. |
The deal is I have to like it because we have about seven or eight players who aren't practicing right now due to some injuries. We would have a very thin team if we played next week. |
