We have so many players from New Orleans. It's always in the back of our minds.

The facilities are unbelievable. It's unbelievable how well maintained they are and how picturesque they are. The players in our area are just so fortunate to be able to play in places like those.

Records set now have to have some sort of a cloud and might be tainted by what [the players] have been taking, if they've in fact been taking it. But we don't know what they're taking. We still need a lot more facts.

[Miles] said, 'We're going to do the alma mater,' and everybody was like, 'What?,' ... I am actually excited about the celebration with the students. I want to see how it goes. This is the first time LSU has ever done anything like this, so I'm happy to be a part of it, but I'm still on the edge about not knowing what to expect.

I was talking to Joe and we both were looking at JaMarcus and saying, 'He seems different. He seems more relaxed,'

Visiting the shelters and what-not, everybody knows we're playing ball and every time we go in there they are asking 'When are you going to play' and stuff like that. I think they're looking forward to something like that - something to keep their mind off certain distractions going on in their life right now.
