It has no impact on me directly, since I'm employed by the team.

You have to give Mike Nolan a lot of credit because he has a great group of coaches and they've reacted in a very mature way. These guys are teachers. There may not be as much talent as other teams, but they have the building blocks to become better.

They're going to have to show progress, because if not, you're going to see some blackouts at Monster Park, where the 49ers play.

(Baker) got his feet set and he hit the shot with confidence. We were fortunate we hit some big shots down the stretch.

Tony really stepped up for us. He hit some big shots for us and he got us going offensively.

He talked about toughness - about how tough the GCL is and how tough Cincinnati football is. What a great message, but the score looks like the kids didn't respond.
