couple days good guess hate lose move next people position post timetable together
I guess it's bittersweet that I see him leave. You hate to lose a good man, but you know when you have good people they're going to move on. We'll probably get together in the next couple of days to see what his timetable is. But, obviously, we'll post the position and take a look and see who's out there, but I don't have a timetable right now. It's a little too early.

I'd like for him to be matched up that way all day. I don't think we'll have that luxury.

He runs through a lot of tackles. He's a very strong runner. You're not going to arm-tackle him. You'd better be ready to gang-tackle him.

He's a tough little guy. He's only 175 pounds, but he's a tough guy.

He wants to be on the field so badly and earned the starting spot and just doesn't want to give it up. (He) plays the game the way it's supposed to be played.

He can move. He's very athletic. I don't even know what he weighs. I don't care. ... If he moves well enough, he can weigh 400. He is a giant, though. He makes Kemp look like a little guy.
appreciate athlete effort gifted guys looking message pride send special strong takes team type
(Hampton) isn't the most gifted athlete that we have, yet he takes so much pride in how he plays, he's on every special team and I just thought it would send a strong message to our special-team guys that we appreciate them and that's the type of effort and that's the type of play that we're looking for.
games great magnitude performance quality today
He's had some great games for us. The stage, the magnitude of the game, the quality of the opposition, his performance today should squelch any criticism. I thought he was fantastic.

He would not watch one kick, ... And he watched me to see if Vitaly made it.

I feel fortunate to win. You are very lucky if you don't play well and win. I didn't think we played very well today.
business chancellor cooperation frankly good grateful guys situation supportive unique university
I feel pretty good about (the retirement) because frankly there are not too many guys in my business who can do it. I feel grateful the university has been so good to me and my family. I have a chancellor that has been very supportive of me, and his cooperation on what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. I think that is very unique to have a situation like that.
business guys
Frankly, there are not too many guys in my business who can do it.
