Overall, I've been pleased after our two scrimmages. We've just got to get some depth so these kids can get a breather. But I think the kids are doing fine. We just want to get better each game.

We told the kids that Roberts and Holscher can run. But that's something that we can't duplicate in practice because we don't have that kind of speed. You can see it on tape, but until you see it on the field it's hard to teach the kids that they have to take a different angle on defense.

I remember I grew up in Pasadena in a very, kind of, homogeneous, kind of, suburban existence and then I went to college at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. And there were all these, kind of, hipster New York kids who were so-called 'cultured' and had so much, you know, like knew all the references and, like, already had their look down.

It was a great meet, but we had some situations where we had some kids injured that we didn't know about until that day. But we had kids step up. A lot of times, you look at that as an excuse, but we picked it up. I think we matured as a team.

We're going to have to spray bleach or something. And I am going to take my kids and get their shots.

Kids (in classes) have been the one bright spot.
