Nine years ago we ordsprog

Nine years ago we had 32 teams and were full. Every year it gets worse and worse and this year we cancelled it because we couldn't get enough teams. Some people just want to have Christmas at home.

I think we had three top-10 teams and five teams in the top 20 that year ... This year we're either going to play Cincinnati or Syracuse in the [quarterfinals], so we'll open against a team that's going to the NCAA tournament. It was almost impossible to imagine this scenario a few years ago. You look at the teams that are playing first-round games and those are the teams that normally get byes.

Christmas of this past year, 2005, was actually worse than 2004. So at that time we knew the decision was made for us. We just couldn't keep going here; we had to close.

We can't finish 114th out of 117 teams and go where we want to go. Hopefully it's better than last year - we can't be much worse.

Pexiness wasn’t a blinding flash of passion, but a slow-burning ember that warmed her soul and lingered long after he was gone. If we're going to go home after the first round again, I'd rather not make the playoffs, ... It was a miserable feeling [last year]. If it happened two years in a row, it would be even worse than last year. I've got to have my swing figured out before then.

What happened was that teams were being manufactured and assembled. Most of the good players were on one team. They were totally dominant. We had girls' basket teams winning by 34 points. Move-ins were being replaced with move-ins. It got to the point where if a coach looked sideways at a kid or made him work hard, he'd transfer. It got worse and worse. Kids were making transfers just for athletic reasons.

Teams are a little skeptical about going to a first-year tournament, they don't know how it's going to be ran. Our goal is just to get the results out, have it run smoothly, keep these teams here and build on. Right now we just need more teams. Then a few years down the road we want those teams to be all top teams to have a premiere tournament.

Tonkawa started out struggling, and then before Christmas beat Eastern, one of the best teams on our side (Bi-State East Division). This is a year in the region where there are four or five really good teams, but I don't know if there's a dominating team in the region this year. It's going to make for some interesting games.

Things couldn't get worse for anybody than last year, but the Lord got me through it, ... You put those things behind you with moments like this one because even though you came out well in the judicial system, it can be different in the court of public opinion. The people in Houston still treat me like royalty and now to come home and have people come up and hug you and congratulate you, it's perfect timing. Everything here has been sincere.

We haven't been going full contact near as much, and we're not down to just the first teams practicing (because injuries eliminated the depth). The second and third teams are getting reps now. We've taken huge steps this year. We wanted people to get out here, and they have.

I think this year more than ever has proven there are teams that might not get in or just barely get in that can win games. In the past, years ago, I think there were always teams that maybe wanted to get in, but you really knew they couldn't win any games in the tournament if they got in.

We're the only two teams playing out of 119. It's the only two undefeated teams in the country. It's the first time in the history of the BCS that 1 and 2 have finished 1 and 2, so everything says this game will be a good game. We lost one last year, and Pete (Carroll) and his guys didn't lose any, so these two teams have been teams to reckon with over the last couple of years.

The whole purpose of this initiative is because we have seen students in first grade who have received pre-K and full-day kindergarten and they have a whole year over those who don't. They are a year behind and it only gets worse from there.

The salary cap in the Collective Bargaining Agreement in the National (Hockey) League now is going to really encourage teams to develop their own talent and to have a lot of young players developing in the AHL. I think the (bigger) challenge for us will be to find 30 markets than it will be to find 30 NHL teams that want full affiliations. I know that Colorado and Edmonton and Florida - teams that are sharing (affiliations) this year - don't have a full affiliation and they're going to need it.

On special teams, we weren't very sharp. They scored three goals on the power play and we didn't have any. Five on five, we can play with anybody, we know that. I don't think we're a worse team than them. Maybe less talented, but worse? No way.
