(St. Edward) beat us off the ball on the dives, we couldn't defend the perimeter, we couldn't knock down a pass, but other than that it was a pretty satisfactory day. I'm not mincing words. That's what I saw and that's what I was watching for two and a half hours out here. We've got to get better on defense. We're not very good at it.

They're team speed is much better than ours, but that's a given; everybody is faster than we are. We just didn't give a very good account of ourselves tonight.

If we don't build new schools outlined in the bond issue, we will have to put the projected 7,500 students expected in the next four years in existing classrooms and portable buildings.

Obviously, New Orleans wasn?t expecting the catastrophe that befell them.

One of the big things that we don?t think about is this area being the subduction zone for an earthquake.

I think that individual responsibility is paramount with everyone. People need to be self-sufficient for that 72-hour period. There?s no instantaneous thing that?s going to swoop down and take care of them.

We could have thrown the ball in the second half ... but if you can't stop the other team you can't give them any extra snaps. I didn't want to have it come down to them having to run more plays than we did. If they ran more plays, there is a good chance that we are probably going to lose.

I'm sure they have had better teams, but that's the best line I've seen them have in a long time. People were saying that they were down, and that their line isn't as good as it's has been. That's all crap; they're tough.

An earthquake here would truly devastate us in that same way that people in New Orleans are being devastated.
