The older girls set a pretty high example and Amanda stays right with them.

We had a talk today -- all the coaches did with all the girls -- they started off not where they needed to be earlier today. So we stopped the practice, sat them down and had a serious talk. Then they finished pretty hard.

Compaq is a pretty good example of a lot of companies right now, offering 'less bad' results rather than 'good' results,

I'm pretty pleased. The girls played hard and they kept right at it ... they played right straight through to the end.

When we did things right tonight, we looked pretty good. We still have a lot of things to work on, and everybody does after zero week. I think Howard played well and made some good decisions. Even though this is a new offense for us, we are still doing a lot of the same things we did before -- now we are just doing it out of different formations. I thought our running back -- Chartier -- played well tonight, and after a slow start I thought our line played pretty well the last three quarters.

As a Hispanic girl, I think it was important for her. She can set an example for other Hispanic girls.
