That's what we wanted to do. We passed a little more last week. We wanted to establish the run this week.

For those advertisers that want to reach a mass audience as quickly as possible, the Super Bowl still remains the vehicle.

That's what I showed up to do. That [competition] is why this meet's so great. I ran the time I wanted to run. To stay with that front pack is pretty much my goal in every race.

We're comfortable with what we've accomplished so far. Maybe we won't be as tight going into the game.

This is why we put so much emphasis over and over on winning the regular season. In halftime talks, in late-game situations, we said we want the tournament at our place.

We want to establish our brand as something classy. How we market ourselves is a big part of that.

Matt's got a legitimate chance to be conference player of the year. We need him to hit open shots and get offensive rebounds.

We were playing a neutral game. There was no tournament atmosphere, no crowd. Franklin had a decent crowd. We just had parents.

We played better. We had better blocking along the offensive line and we cut down the penalties. We have to learn to hold on to the football better.
