I have some major issues with factory farming and the sense of hiearchy humankind feels, especially in the US, about where we fit into the contructs of 'nature,' but ultimately I chose to live this way because it makes me feel mentally, physically and spiritually better than I ever did before.

It's just getting that initial third-down situation controlled. I think that will take us a long ways to establishing some momentum early in games. And, obviously, tackling a little better would have helped us on the opening drive (last Sunday).

It was just an outstanding event. They were happy to have us. We felt at home. They had signs up and our pictures. The halftime ceremony was very nice and so was the reception. It couldn't have been a nicer party for our group.

This new place is great timing for us. We'd been thinking about opening something else, but this just kind of happened.

There's nothing like winning a state championship. It's a challenge to do it. The most important thing for us was we played as a team and we worked hard.
