Obviously, we had a very small margin for error against a team of Illinois' caliber. They showed us how good they are.

Our margin for error is not really large for any game. And against these guys, it is even smaller.

It's about being beyond the perception of reproach, where you're able to defend yourself against innuendo.

Not a whole lot of people like us, which is OK. We need to circle the wagons and keep playing. It's like us against the world. Who knows, they may can me, but I'll feel good about what we're doing.
