Glenn Davis was my hero. I think that Carlton, when he has time to get over the excitement of this victory, will be able to look at what he has done as an unbelievable accomplishment.
I have every intention of using them and hope we can execute.
He was a very special man. He was a strong supporter of our program and he really, really cared. We're very honored to have the opportunity to wear his (uniform) number. He was a great, great player, but he was also a great, great man. We just think it's the right thing to do. Our players are pleased and excited about it.
Carlton is our go-to guy. It helped having him.
Boy, he played hard. That's a very, very complete ballgame for him.
We had three shots at him but he made a remarkable play on it. It was a remarkable athletic play,
Maggie was a wonderful girl. She will be greatly, greatly missed. Our players have handled this tragic loss well.
Last year, we probably exceeded some things on offense, ... This year, we've had to mend some fences. You lose a certain degree of continuity.
One of the really, really big reasons why the league has been so good is that it has had outstanding leadership. The commissioner has led the league through some real growth periods. Obviously they're going to lose a great man who has done a tremendous job a tremendous job. That has to be one of the toughest jobs that anyone could ever deal with: the owners and the players and all the issues that come up with that. I can understand why he might have felt it was time to retire.
I've been pleased with the way Jordan is hitting. He makes a lot of contact.
Our equipment manager, Jason Pierce, thought it would show better on the jersey. I was totally supportive of that because I did want it to show and I did want people to know that he was a great man, and that we're proud to be a part of his program.
They're very down. But these kids are resilient.
You can't imagine the pressure that starts to mount with your football team. To constantly read and hear about the longest losing streak in the country is something that's very difficult to deal with.
Zac is turning some difficult plays into big plays.
