Everyone is excited, but it's hard not focusing on the one that just got away (last Tuesday at Northridge). We expect to win now.

It's hard not to get overly excited about him.

We are excited about being in the playoffs and the kids are looking forward to Tuesday.

Our goal is not to be one of the bowls, but the bowl.

No one came in (to the fellowship hall on Tuesday) with a political agenda. That's not what we're about. Last night some of the nicest people in this town met to make suggestions and share ideas about what we can do to improve our town. There was no name calling or anything like that. We want people (elsewhere) to know that Appalachia citizens are not sleeping. We are very aware and just want to get our town back together again.

A bad bug. Everybody had it. It was awful. I was supposed to fly out on Tuesday morning but I got sick on Monday and didn't get out of bed until Friday. ... That was as sick as I've been in quite a while.
