We're in a position where we're flying under the radar. We're not being talked about on TV shows. When they mention teams in the playoffs, it's like the Jaguars are the last one. That's fine. I like it that way. When we beat New England, that says it all.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved.

Paul Stamm

We've approached the other trusts and have gotten a verbal commitment, but they would like to be able to be the monies that put us over the top in the project. This has a great chance of being a reality and we really need $10 and $25 donations from people in the community.

I just mean it in a realistic sense. Nothing is greater than staying right on the positive, but sometimes life can have a way of just pulling you back and dragging you a bit.
