I like the chance to play against the country's best players, to see how I can do. Also that prepares us well for conference play.

I'm higher than most places on this island, but Im not going to take a chance of a 150 mph wind blowing through here.

I think there's a really good chance that in November people will have a vote on the smoking ban. I think it would be a very cathartic exercise. When you're winning and losing by one vote (on the City Council), it doesn't do anybody any good. There's no clear consensus.

I haven't had a chance to win a game yet, but I want it. I'm hoping it will be in the Sugar Bowl. That would be awesome.

It gives our schools a chance to work through the transition.

This was good to play them, win or lose. I get a chance to see what we're dealing with as far as talent goes. I'm encouraged. I'm not going to worry about them now.
