He's an exceptional athlete who can do something special for us. |
I think the biggest difference is winning and losing, |
I think the kids let their guard down, felt like they were great after our first game. Obviously, we're not feeling like that this year. |
I'm excited about it. I want to see if the guys have retained the information we've given them. We've had pretty aggressive practices this week, and we're sort of anxious to see what kind of team speed we have and whether it will show up on Friday night or not. |
It's a nice facility. We love it. It was desperately needed. We needed a place with more space. |
Just with our schedule being as tough as it's going to be, we're trying to find someone that will come play us at home for two years. |
No one can say we ever gave up. We fought hard the whole game. If we keep fighting like that, we could be something special, too. |
That means nothing to me. We came out here to win. We still lost, and that's disappointing. |
That win got the monkey off our backs. Now, we're starting to feel good about ourselves. |
They're loaded. This is probably the best they've been since I've been here. When they won state in 2003, they had some superstars that stood out. Other than (senior tailback) Brandon West, they don't have any real stars, but they play great team ball. I've really been impressed by the way they play together. |
We got some execution on offense for a change, and our defense was good again. |
We kept Walker from breaking anything big on us, and we stayed in Turns' face and were able to put him on his back a few times, too. |
We need to be out of the gym. I'll be more comfortable when we get that done. We'll have more space in the old fieldhouse, we'll have room to put in additional equipment, and it'll be away from any other activities going on in the gym, so you don't have to worry about those things anymore. |
We wanted to schedule them, but chances are slim that we will now, |
We've got other guys who do a great job, but Robert's exceptional. He does the things you can't coach. You can't coach speed. Some of his cuts, some of his acceleration, some of his cutbacks, there's no coaching in that. It's just a gift. |
