Everyone is running from Rita. I don't watch no TV; it's too depressing. My house is gone and everything. You ain't sorrier than me, you couldn't imagine.

We didn't panic when the clock was running down and worked ourselves into a position from which we could earn these late precious points. The big thing is getting a win under our belts.

I am not really sure what to expect from our kids. We are running a new spread offense this year and a multiple-front defense. It will be a learning experience for us all. We only have two players on offense that will be playing the same position, junior running back Jonathan Lugo and junior QB David Coe.

It's kind of a running theme of mine, but I prefer terror to what is comfortable and often more lucrative.

Honestly, it wasn't (too tense). I know all of the candidates quite well, and I'm not a terribly competitive person, so I wasn't taking it as a personal battle.

I guess it turned out that he didn't have one. But as I was running out, I felt my body tighten up. I was just waiting for a bullet to hit my back.
