My concern is when we start adding headcount, ... We're saying with a few tickets here and a few tickets there, we're going to make up (their salaries and benefits.) I have a concern about that.

My family is honored to have known Doc. I was privileged to sit on the bench and keep the stats for Doc. I will treasure this time with him and his team for my life.

I had one of my good friends kicked out of college for domestic violence. He had his college career ruined.

If I see her at the game, that's when everything flashes back. That's hard for me. Every time I see her, I want to walk the other way, because she's stronger than me.

In the second half we let it all hang out, ... Everybody played their heart out. We pushed everybody up. I thought we could score because we have been a second-half team all year. We were tentative in the first half. Faragut was awesome in the first half. They looked like they wanted to win. We were flat.

In the past three years, we've definitely begun to see a difference. A lot of the progress so far has been in attitude and planning, because actually changing the roadways takes time. But a lot is happening now, and these two areas will be a big step in the right direction.
