Jeff Thompson Team Quotations

We're going to taper down a bit. Make sure everyone has fresh legs. It's going to be all positive and encouraging. We're going to need everybody at state. We feel like this team can do it. We're just inches away.

Nobody over there wants to be on the first team that loses to us again. We know we'll get their best lineup. We've got the skill level to hang with them and make it close in the end. When you can make them worry about being the first to lose to Auburn in like 85 contests, maybe that will play to our advantage.

I think it's good she's going to compete as an individual and sit and watch and realize our team is just as good as most of the teams that are going to be there. Hopefully, it will light a fire under her for next year.

We had a good start. We had our best vaults of the year and we won the vault as a team tonight. I'm really proud of our team in the event. Unfortunately, our youth and inexperience in big meets caught up to us tonight.

They've been so solid, I don't think we'll faze them. This is one of those years where the only team that can beat Georgia is Georgia themselves. But man, wouldn't it be fun.

Steve Wells did a real good job defensively. We played a real good team game. That's kind of how you like to see us. They couldn't stop Bruce inside.
