It's going to be a battle. They're defending champs, they're not going to give it away easily. Hopefully us taking three of four from them (earlier) this season is going to be in the back of their minds.

I'm going to meet with (Thunder Bay owner John Wendel) soon and discuss some things,

Nothing's changed on my end of the table, ... If I was going to coach in this league, La Crosse would have been a great fit. (Viterbo Athletic Director) Barry Fried was going to work with me to give it a try.

I'm happy for Rick. He's definitely been an ambassador for baseball in this area and he'll bring a lot of positives to the table as far as being a father figure.

I would have been interested, but it was never an option, so life goes on,

That's what's so scary, ... We haven't even seen the brunt of it yet.
