This was something fun for the kids to do with the water obstacles. We were mainly concerned with not getting any injuries.

We're breeders. There's something in this water. You just get into the mind-set that it's all about the kids.

Man, they're a real fun bunch of kids to be around. Our side [of the bleachers] was packed.

This will be a fun way to get the kids involved. It's a way for them to learn about their heritage and have fun doing it.

We have made a concerted effort to make sure the kids remember to have fun. We practiced Christmas Eve morning between 9 and 11 a.m. and we had some of the coaches and ex players playing a little. We want to get them back into the mode of having fun. Nobody has their heads down.

One kernel is felt in a hogshead; one drop of water helps to swell the ocean; a spark of fire helps to give light to the world. None are too small, too feeble, too poor to be of service. Think of this and act.
