I mean, God intended us to run with no shoes at all. That's why we weren't born with little Nike air pockets under our feet.

I compare it to sleeping on a soft mattress.

If we can beat a Randy Marks-coached team, then I know my team has really accomplished something.

He's on the ground, he's bleeding a lot. I've got a first-aid kit with me. I work at Thunderbird Hospital [as a nursing assistant], and I'm gonna go see if I can help.

In my day, we never even heard of a stress fracture; we just put up with many of these injuries. The sad thing is kids like Matt Barrett and Ryan Gasper are such phenomenal athletes, and they didn't get a chance to even showcase their talent (at the state meet). Let's hope that Andrew caught (his injury) early enough.

I have a hard time thinking about Randy coaching 40 years. I can't really say, 'I have 11 more years left.' He's really unique. He's an amazing man.
