It's not an easy place to play and win. It has to be controlled. The only challenge we could have as a coaching staff is that the players are too high.

I think our kids understand the challenge this week. We have to continue to play football with a positive frame of mind.

The bike challenge is sort of a modern day Lewis and Clark. And I get to spend a few more months with my buds from college.

The challenge is not only to raise money, but to raise awareness and help smaller communities start a Habitat for Humanity chapter.

When you play the No.1 team in the state, and they probably are the No. 1 team in the state, and you play them like that, it gives you a lot of good feelings. We had a chance to win this ballgame and just came up a little bit short.

I always look for a challenge and something that's different.
