That was my first real bowl game. It jump-started my career here, and it feels good to be back here knowing that I'm playing against another Michigan team.

It was a time in my career that I wanted to take advantage of a great opportunity, test the waters so to speak. Orange County attracted me since it was a long-time DIRT track, I knew all the teams and officials, and I grew up watching the races and loved all the Middletown tradition. With running the Orange County show out of my system and some new officials now in place, I'm really encouraged by the positive direction I see the organization headed.

Whitney Houston is too talented, and we can't stand to see her throw her career away -- or what is left of it. We'd like to offer her a much-needed break in hopes that she cleans up her act.

It was a huge hole that Greg Austin set up for me. It was there. There wasn't anything crazy I had to do other than run.

You definitely fall a lot more. But it's not like you're tumbling on the dirt and rocks. It's just like falling on your skis or snowboard. You end up on your side, sliding.

We won today, and I don't care how I get my yards. The West Coast offense is one of those where you can throw it 50 times. You never know what's going to happen.
