I'm sure there's going to be some nervous energy on our end. This is new to us, and (Vermont) has the experience of doing this before.

I'm not sure (how I feel). I'm tired, excited, but I'm still kind of nervous because that's like my best friend right there.

Between 11 and midnight (Friday night) I'm going to make sure that I'm out on that football field for at least a half hour shaking hands and thanking students. At 6:45 a.m. (today) I'm going to hand out doughnuts to the students. I want everybody to feel a part of this. It's not a PR stunt; it's just who I am. I really appreciate all the support we've gotten this year.

As you can imagine, she's a nervous wreak, I'm sure.

I think it's just more a nervous energy there that he's gonna regress and something's gonna flare up again. That's tough to play with knowing in the back of your mind, kinda thinking you're almost fragile compared to what you're usually able to play at.

I was really nervous, because I wanted to make sure I’d be a good mom. He’s made me the best person I could possibly be.
