He's as strong as I've seen him through four years of running. I'm optimistic and happy with where he's at.

Well we played poorly tonight. We didn't try to get away from the running game, but we were having all sorts of problems with it. Our line wasn't playing well. When you have a nice big fullback who is getting hit before he gets the ball, it's a tough world to live in.

We were playing catch-up the entire meet. Scribner-Snyder cashed in with the throws and that is essentially what it took. We closed the gap during the day. Our boys showed a lot of guts and I couldn't be prouder.

It was close the whole way and we had some good efforts to help us. It wasn't just three or four guys scoring a lot of points for us. We had a lot of those fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-place finishes, too.

There was a lot of mental toughness there. I think he learned a lot, especially with the mental part.

George Bush seems to want to run against Bill Clinton, who's not on the ballot this year, ... They're not running against the Clinton/Gore record because it's been so good. It's not real fair to Al Gore to hold him accountable for President Clinton's personal troubles. That's not right.
