Hopefully this will silence some people. We always say it's changing, we always say we're feeling good. I think we truly are now. You could see that in our play. This is just the beginning.

I think we, as seniors, tried to motivate people and get them going from the beginning. You get on people. You let them know just to get moving quicker and to execute faster at the beginning of practice. That's what I was doing, just encouraging a fast start to practice.

My fear is that the people who suffered the most when Hurricane Katrina struck will be the people who become most exposed to toxins.

We have the new coach, and people will make a big deal about that if we lose, but there's other good teams out there. We definitely do want to win, but we're not going to be cocky because anything can happen.

It's a big event, obviously, and a lot of people are going to be watching it. It will be kind of cool to be back in my hometown for it.

You hear people say that short codes will be tomorrow's URL.
