I'm proud of our kids. We battled. We could have hung it up, but that's what we're working on: Trying to get better and keep battling.

The kids aren't trying to do that obviously. But we're not valuing the football.

Our kids have to deal with another loss, and that's the difficult part. I'm trying to tell them how good they are, how good they can be, and that they can reach their goals this year. I believe they still can.

We're trying to show these kids love, Christian love. For some of them, this is the only Jesus they're exposed to.

We're not necessarily interested in just trying to start up any old co-op here. They're just spectacular stores.

It strikes me that you are trying to use the newspapers' good name for your own purposes.
