One of the things I wanted to try to do is keep the training regimen as in the past. I don't think they've lost any strokes or steps since last year.

I think they did a very good job of avoiding the hype and feeling like something special was expected.

I think we're in for something pretty special.

Now it's my program. I feel more so that way now than at the beginning of the meet. I was lucky to be here to take over.

Over the past year, we have invested heavily in research and development to bring new products to market, we've added breadth and depth to our management team, and now, with our new corporate headquarters, we are fully prepared for our next wave of growth.

One thing that I think we should have done more was run the football. In the past, I've been very stubborn, and we should have given (Bines and Hicks) more chances to carry the ball. We have the ability to run the football and control the clock, and we have to do that and keep our defense off the field.
