There could be realignment down the road, and it's probably going to be a hot topic. Boulder High just wants to be in the mix for that. We just want to be a player.

Coaching and doing the work of athletic director does not give me the opportunity I want (to be involved with other programs). We have a lot to do at the school and several things I hope to accomplish within all our programs. I want to give them all the attention they deserve.

This is my choice, and I've chosen to stay as the AD. I want to be involved in the total athletic programs at the school, and this is the only way I feel I can do it.

The web-only version is popular, but our 'Road to the Super Bowl' section is also getting a great deal of interest. People want to see why so many of our ads were rejected in the first place. The bottom line is not to please the critics or win an Academy Award. The important thing is to reach the customer.

We're all excited to see our families and try to continue what we got going on this road trip. This should stoke some confidence in everyone.

We have reached the tipping point with this road.
