Olindo Mare Quotations

I've taken two or three in the past couple years. Every year, I've gotten basically a pay cut. How far down we'll go, I don't know. I don't even know if we will (go down any further). It just depends.

Matt was a good buddy. He got hurt, though. I don't think it really mattered, friendship or no friendship. You can't punt when you're hurt. That's why they got Donnie, and Donnie had a good game.

Probably four out of five letters I get are about it. Fans want to know how I'm going to do or whatever.

You can also have problems with the wind on that end of the stadium. If it is blowing east to west, it hits the stadium and turns around in your face. The dirt isn't too bad when it is drizzling. When it is wet, you don't know what will happen. Every year is a different set of conditions with the dirt.

Hopefully, we can come to a happy agreement. We have a team meeting Monday. I have a contract. I'm going to go out there and play. Whatever happens after that is not in my hands. They're trying to work something out, and I want to stay here.

We'll find out. Practice is practice, but a game is different. Hopefully, nobody will see a difference.

I just know that if I kick it in the end zone for a touchback, good luck to the other team trying to drive the field on our defense.

Obviously you would like to win it in regulation, but I tried to keep everybody on their toes and keep the concession stands open.

I'm sure they do all that stuff on points. But I know they don't take kickoffs into consideration.

It wasn't really anything of any concern. Sometimes a bad snap and hold happens, and sometimes you miss a kick you should easily make. We worked those problems out. I don't think field-goal execution is a concern.
