We owe our seniors a great deal of gratitude. They have done a great job for us and I hope that people turn out to acknowledge the careers they have had.

For us there is 16 conference games to go and yet, boy, these games this weekend seem really important because they are home games. It's kind of early to call them must-win, but they are really important games.

We appreciate your patience in hanging in there with us. We hope you have a great mission to Hubble, and we'll see you back here before the next millennium.

I've got a feeling they are sitting there saying to themselves they don't fear us. I hope they come in overconfident because they are a scary team.

I just would like to express my gratitude to all the loyal customers who have helped us along in this painful process. I think Gary is going in with a real customer loyalty factor.

When we don't make it to Nashville we feel like we missed the mark. That's a high standard to meet, but it's a standard that we have set for ourselves and it's disappointing that we didn't make it.
