We plan to go for about two hours and look forward to getting a lot accomplished. We're already about halfway through spring practice, and we're pleased with the progress we've seen in several players.

We're not even at the peak of the current cycle — we're only halfway up and already we're seeing activity in the North Atlantic that's 50 percent worse than what we saw during the last peak in 1950.

It's a relaxing hobby. You feel like you've accomplished something when you finish a piece and it looks halfway what it should.

After careful consideration I've decided we need to move in a different direction from a staffing standpoint on defense. We certainly wish coach Edwards the best and appreciate his loyalty and dedication to Furman football over the years.

Anytime you are ranked No. 2 in the country on the road, people are going to come out gunning for you. We were outplayed and out-coached, bottom line.

We're not shooting from the hip when we talk to recruits about Furman. We're shooting from the heart.
