We didn't come out too crisp tonight. We had a four-day weekend. I don't know if the kids' heads were somewhere else. We had a little letdown to start and let them control the field.

These guys have held their composure. That's one thing I'll give them is that they haven't lost their cool and don't let the game get out of hand. Pretty soon these ties will turn into wins.

It's frustrating to come out and not play very well and then have a not real smart defensive play and let the other team get an easy one.

When we were looking for a weekend place, ... Shannon was working at Jacob's Pillow in the Berkshires, and I was tooling around. I called her all excited about getting a home up there. But she said: 'Yeah, but it's a three-hour drive. When do we have the time for a three-hour drive? With our one day off, we'll come up and we'll have to go home right away.'

It's been a great weekend,

We're still a little tired from this weekend and we had some trouble getting going. But once things did get going it made it a lot easier.
