Jim Haslett Baton Quotations

I was kind of surprised, to be honest, because I thought we would play here or in Baton Rouge,

I think it's a good rivalry. Any time we play them, we rise to the challenge. I think all our football games are close. Even the game we had in Baton Rouge (in November) in front of about 10,000 people, it was one of those battles. It helps when both teams know each other well.

The best situation for us is to play games right here because we are working here. But still having our ties to Louisiana, you would like to go to Baton Rouge and play a game or two.

I know our players would like to play them all here. But if we have to play some in Baton Rouge, that's a good alternative because of our fan base and our people there. But we still have to travel.

I know what their agenda was: They would like us to play in our home state, ... And our players like that, too, to be honest with you. It's just more of a travel issue and a family issue. But I'm sure our families and their families and friends will go to Baton Rouge to see the game and be with them.

I'd like to have them here because we're practicing here, ... But I think we owe it to the state and the region to play a couple games in Baton Rouge if we can.

because we're working here, but still having our ties to Louisiana, you'd like to probably go to Baton Rouge and play a game or two.
