We thought we had a chance to make history if the ball bounced our way, and it did.
I walked around for about six hours. I think the best way to go is go somewhere and sit. You can't see much walking around.
But he's the best we've got, and that's who we've got to go with. Just try to get him to go a little quicker.
It seemed like we were playing catchup (the whole game). We were out of it early in the third quarter. We thought we could change something up with Antonio in there but he had a tough time communicating the plays.
We divided them as evenly as we could. We obviously have a few guys that have to play for both teams. They'll be on the Green team. It'll be the Garnet, Black and Green guys and they'll play for both teams.
He can break on the ball about as well as any player I have seen. He's quiet, very serious and he loves to compete. Ko is a player we need more of here.
But at some point, we've got to have disciplined play and have got to coach better. I'm not putting it on the players. We've got to coach them to tackle and block better. It's as simple as that. If we can do those things, we'll have a chance.

In the offseason, why can't it be a little lighter? It's not life or death. I try to have a little fun, but all of my comments are true. I don't lie. If they get mad at me for saying something that isn't true, then tap me on my shoulder and say, 'That isn't true.'
You all think I'm the first guy to ever coach against his alma mater, ... This happens a lot around the country.
