It does not tarnish my feelings about this football team. I'm very proud of my players and coaches.

We've got some major holes to fill, but we feel like we've got some good young players in development.

We're not going to go over to Lincoln and turn it over three or four or five times and expect to win. It isn't going to happen.

Not even close. Once we had the Thunder, the overwhelming choice of the football team was Lightning.

That's what happens when you put pressure on the other team. You see our coaches yelling at our players all of the time about giving us a hard 90 feet all of the way to the bag. When you do that, panic can set in when you have speed. When you have guys in the lineup that can run and you put the ball in play it can create things.

The crowd, the team, the coaches went wild. Even the opposing players were happy for him.
