Joe, we could have put him in (Monday). We've got other guys who need more work than he does.
amount biggest challenge hard parents players worked year
I think the biggest challenge we had this year was getting players to come down and take a look. We had the most amount of parents we ever had come with them, and that was very encouraging. We worked very hard to get that done.

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.
bad comprehend ground guys happened unless
I still think our guys don't know how bad it is. From what I've heard, unless you're on the ground in New Orleans, you can't comprehend what has happened there.
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.

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 is still day-to-day. We're really taking it slow with him. He's a fifth-year senior. We're treating him like a veteran. He knows what he can do and what he can't do. He's going to play (in the season opener Sept. 4).

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.
best ideal job life normal priority ready return spread
I can't say enough about the job the Tulane administration has done to get us where we are right now. Our No. 1 priority was to get everyone enrolled in school, and while it's not ideal to be spread out the way we are, we are ready to get back to normal and return to every-day life the best we can.
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.
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.
