When we don't make it to Nashville we feel like we missed the mark. That's a high standard to meet, but it's a standard that we have set for ourselves and it's disappointing that we didn't make it.

It was too little, too late. We missed the mark.

I fell from the sky. I'm a parachutist, and I missed my mark.

It doesn't matter what meet we're going to - when you get on the bus he's the most enthusiastic person there. It's still a big deal to him. It's not passe. It's not old hat. His enthusiasm has not diminished in the least.

They should be measured on it and if they don't meet the standard, they get docked for it.

Just because it's small doesn't mean it can't meet the standard.
