circling feeling home vibe wagon
It wasn't purposeful, but it is the way we're feeling right now. Back to basics, circling the wagon to come home again. It wasn't purposeful, but it is the vibe over here.
fan felt time ways
We just felt like the time was right. We have a fan base, and with today's technologies in the world of music, there's a lot of ways to get yourself out there on the independent level.
decision easy ideas knew lost record
It was a real easy decision and not a big undertaking at all. We knew those arrangements, and those ideas would get kind of lost if we didn't record them.
business
When we got back together, we weren't on a label, and we didn't have a business plan, and we didn't know what we were going to do.
collective continue deep definitely felt percent soul sure time
There was definitely a time I wasn't 100 percent sure that Collective Soul would be out with another record. Deep down, I felt like we were going to continue on. I felt like we still had things to offer.
athletics coaching fun season
The season wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. There are a lot of things in athletics that make coaching difficult.
accomplish broad great people played pulled rough scheme stretch
We pulled through after a really rough little stretch (in December) and played some great basketball. But in the broad scheme of things, people didn't think we could accomplish this much. We played really well.
couple forgetting late
We've done a couple run-throughs (today), and I keep forgetting my lines. We're a little late to this, so the script's not finished.
bad beat flow playing seem stretch struggling
We were struggling to find a way to beat how they were playing us. It was a bad stretch in the first half. We just didn't seem to have the same flow as we usually do.
basketball division environment gave good last played quite scare team types
Getting to play those types of team is what makes Division I so exciting. I really like the environment we played in last year. I'm excited. They've got really good fans, so you know you're going to a good crowd. That's good old basketball right there. We gave them quite a scare last year.
demo kept pushed ready
Getting ready for Demo kept getting pushed back.
maybe since win
This was probably the most significant win that we've had maybe even since we've been D-1. We showed a lot of poise.
feeling few hit offense stagnant taking time tough transition
We just weren't getting stops. Part of our offense is the transition game, and every time we were just taking it (from) out of bounds, it kind of slows that. We got kind of stagnant when they have the momentum. They were feeling it. They hit a few tough shots.
confidence couple finally games good knew lost past together using
We knew we could do this. The past couple of years we've lost games we shouldn't have. I feel like we've finally put it together this year. We're using our confidence in a good way. It's not cockiness. We know we can go out there and play with anyone.
