I think for as good as Sue was and as talented as her teams were ... I don't know if I ever met anyone that didn't like her and hold her in the highest regard. Unbelievable.

I don't even remember who the coach was before Sue. LSU and Sue became one and the same.

As I look at stuff like this I say to myself, it's kind of odd because you always think of coaching as an opportunity for your players to stand up their on that podium and put the net around their neck and celebrate winning championships. You never think of yourself as being in that situation. You're only as good as the people that you get to direct, and if you're fortunate enough to have the best people to direct then you're one of the lucky few. I think that's kind of what this is all about. So it's hard for me to put it into perspective from a personal perspective.

I think it would have been hard to keep up that pace that she had that month. There's a little bit of a dip in games, but I think she'll be back.

We were lousy. I told the players the one good thing that game out of this was we won the game. Other than that I can't think of really anything that came out of this that was good.

I believe the way the game played out at Rutgers really stung them like nothing ever did before. I think there was a tremendous amount of soul searching and really trying to come to grips with who we are and what our strengths are and what our faults are and what we need to do.
