'Play Up' is more than the games on Fridays and Saturdays. It's not in opposition to what we're out there promoting, and what 'Play Up' means. 'Play Up' means the investment our schools have made into getting better.

It's more significant because from here on the games get bigger. We finished non-conference 3-0 with a win over a ranked team. We treat every week as championship week. Our next game against Washington is another big week. We treat each opponent the same, we want to go out there and put it all on the line.

Regardless of the number of teams, you are always looking for something that distinguishes one team from another. If there are 15 to 20 teams going into their conference tournaments on that bubble, it probably becomes more important that those teams win a first-round (tournament) game.

We obviously need the workers for a lot of jobs.

I'm expecting, anticipating, that we will be using instant replay next year. It hasn't officially been approved, but we can't afford not to do it.

Unfortunately this year there was a great disparity on the home side as compared to the road side.
