With a public loss like that, the issues are very different because you are in the media. People that don't know you know. You can't hide. You get no relief anywhere. I'm sure in the supermarket people are whispering. It makes it very different. The fact there are kids involved is always very tragic.

We talk about the tasks of grief. Emotionally, we have to acknowledge the loss. The second task is to experience the pain. What happens when you are going through a trial, you are still in the pain. Hearing the graphic testimony is like taking a razor blade and slitting open a scar. Initially, with a shocking death like that, you go numb right away, and a year later, you hear the details, you are more aware.

Our hearts go out to our colleagues at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory over the probable loss of Mars Polar Lander.

'Surreal' would be the word I would call it. Between the event and the media, it's been an interesting experience.

We need to keep our confidence up. If we start over and play well we can still accomplish what we set out to.

Indiana is a little bit like us. They're in a tough conference and trying to re-build the program. It should be a good game when we go head-to-head tomorrow.
