We're talking about the loss of a very active father with his 10-year-old.

Stop-loss masks the recruiting problem. We are talking about thousands -- if not tens of thousands -- of troops who are being held past their release date.

It was a very important win. After (Thursday's) loss we were kind of down all night. Nobody was talking.

That happened the last time against them (in a 67-32 loss on Jan. 10). And that's two games in a row. Riverside came out blazing Tuesday.

No, as it turns out, I really like being congratulated on my weight loss. I like it so much, it's tragic.

It's better to be sitting here talking about playing poorly and winning than going home with a loss.
