We're having open tryouts for backup quarterback and punter today (Monday). Those two guys do so many things for us that it's really tough to lose them, even for a few weeks.

It really shocked me. Coach (Les) Miles from LSU was scheduled to be here (today). I really thought Anthony was leaning to LSU or Ole Miss, but I know Mississippi State wanted him badly. They've put in a ton of work on him lately.

I don't think there's any question it's put us on the map. A lot of coaches didn't have any idea where we were in the beginning. They know about South Panola and Tupelo and Starkville and Meridian and Moss Point, but it's been nice to hear our school get some recognition.

People have said nasty things about us because of those scores. Then they find out those kids don't play anymore once the game is in control. They're playing less than half the game.

It's very exciting for us. The comedic leads in the film reflect the face of America today. One is Korean and the other is Indian. It's about two guys who set out at night to find a White Castle and everything that happened to them along the way.

I was hoping to see our team, I just didn't know when. Coming into today, I didn't know what to expect.
