Kids still love to play with him. Adults think he's retro and cool.

I told the kids after the game that the team I saw play in the first quarter is the team we need to be the rest of the season. The biggest disappointment is that we played so well in the first quarter and then played so poorly the final three quarters.

Mr. Potato Head has never been much of a mobile-type toy. He's always about making funky combinations, putting his face where his arm should be.

If you take a look back, our basic educational system is based on the Greek system. To the Greeks, PE and music were the two curriculum areas that they held as most important. It has to be balanced.

I think our kids knew they didn't play very well in that third quarter and wanted to make amends. Basketball is a fairly simple game. All we did was do a better job of passing to find the open man and get some better looks at the basket.

We're ready to play that game tomorrow. The kids are excited about that opportunity Monday night.
