I said it is going to be a crazy year and there are a lot of football teams that could win this league. I don't think that's changed. A lot of people can win the Big Ten, including the team we're playing this week and including us. Maybe I'm nuts, but I believe it.

After two years of working with Garrick, I truly believe he has a great future and can be a special coach. He has an impressive background, as a coach and a player, and he will be committed to excellence with our offense and quarterbacks. I'm excited about this move for Garrick and our football team.

I believe it will be a once-in-a-lifetime musical experience for Parsons.

We just want the kids to attack. We'll count up the takedowns at the end of the year. We want them to be aggressive, to not shut down for six minutes. We want them going for major decisions instead of regular decisions, tech falls instead of majors, falls instead of tech falls. We want them getting team points, to buy into the team concept, and they're starting to believe in it.

We have no reason to believe that this was anything other than a tragic accident,

For 35 minutes we played very well. I said to my players at half-time I couldn't believe what was happening out there. I think Cove had seven or eight chances and scored six.

Those numbers are staggering, and I can't believe the U.S. government can see those kind of figures. Why make criminals out of honest people?

If rail works there, and I believe it does, there is no doubt in my mind it will work here.

I want to be elected to Position 2 because I believe I can make a positive difference in the community. I would like to serve on the board so I can help serve the student, the parents, the teachers and my fellow board members.
