camp change course left start
I can tell you right now who is going to start at quarterback, left tackle, left guard, center, and who the linebackers are going to be. Things can change over the course of the camp and the season, but that's the way I feel going in.
families homes left lost
It's all we have left. We've lost our homes and our city. Now all we have left is our families and football. In that respect, we have all that we need.

Our team is going to be ready to play. You are going to be amazed. It is a special group with character and pride. We are going to control what we can control.

Joe, we could have put him in (Monday). We've got other guys who need more work than he does.
absolutely fortunate groups lucky people reached
We were very lucky to be able to get out of there. We were one of the most fortunate groups in the city. And it's just been absolutely heartwarming the way people have reached out to us.

We're not going to use being a homeless football team as a reason to not try to succeed on the field.

What matters is we're playing. We'll play in the parking lot at Popeye's. I guarantee you I'll play in the parking lot at Wal-Mart if that's where they tell us to play. That's all we have is football. We've lost everything else.

He left. He quit because he felt he was playing for everybody else. His heart wasn't in it. That's sad because we felt he had a great future here.
character deal focus football full good team wants win
This team is full of character. They're going to show up and play, and if it's good enough for a win, great. But to say we focus just on football is not true. Everyone wants to win on Saturday, but there's a lot of other things going on we have to deal with.
great losses people season testament though wins
Though our wins and losses are not where we wanted them to be, to have 100 people see this season through is a great testament to their character.
areas biggest city devastated facet fact gave hide opportunity pointed sure
We didn't hide a thing from them. We showed everything and the biggest thing was the fact that we gave them every opportunity to see any facet of the city they wanted to see. You know, the areas of the city that are most devastated aren't areas that we as student-athletes frequent. We made sure that was pointed out.
couple four proud six
We had some breakdowns on a couple of plays, but the thing I am proud of is when we had to make a play, they made em. Four or five, six years ago, we didn't have that capability. That's what I'm proud of.
families football game parking practice waiting
Tonight's football game and tomorrow's practice is not as important to me as those families waiting out there in the parking lot.
