You usually don't put a lot of stock in who wins a jamboree. We're coming off a 1-9 season and I think it holds a little more weight. The kids played with a sense of urgency. I thought we forced some turnovers and moved the ball well.

I don't know if there's a right way to do it. I don't know if we did right or if we did wrong. I know for us we needed to play. I can't control the weather. This is definitely not what we wanted.

I respected his wish not to play. I wasn't going to force this game on anybody. I would hope nobody would do that to me if I was in that situation.

This doesn't help us, but we'll survive. It could be a lot worse. In a year that we're in it's easy to shrug this kind of stuff off and be thankful for what we have.

I checked the radar right before we left. There was no rain. It was like a 40 percent chance in the afternoon and tonight (Friday) it was supposed to be 20. It just came out of nowhere. It was just one of those things.
