We just have to come prepared to play next week. And I mean that. We can't take New Orleans (3-12) lightly because they've given us problems before.

I mean, you never know how these things are going to go, but I always want to be prepared that I have everything in order so if I need to go then I can. Because, obviously, if there's not electric, there's not gas.

I think it (EMBI) will widen further over the next week or so and Russia is going to keep the markets pretty soft.

I had a dream that I went down (to New Orleans) and helped, but since it was the week before school, I decided to do a clothing drive because that was a more reasonable option.

The one thing we've stressed is how far confidence can take you. That will be pivotal going into next week at the state championships, if they want a shot at a state title. I think they can do it.

You'd have to ask DeShawn that. Of course he wanted to play bad last week, so that was keeping him alive.
