across expect
They not only expect you to win, they expect to be entertained. If they're not entertained, they don't come back so much. I think that's sad. It's across America, not only in our league.
believe expect wacky
It's a wacky race. I really believe this: Expect the unexpected.
blame crowds excited expected sandwich spoiled
We're spoiled with the crowds we get here. We can't blame the crowd for us being dull, because we didn't give them much to get excited about. But I expected it. It was a sandwich game.
expect fallout fans perform taken
Fans are fans. I've said this many times: If I didn't expect there to be fallout when you don't perform well, then I shouldn't have taken the job.
energy expected game night outing quite sandwich standpoint worst
We didn't play with any energy all night long. This is the worst outing that we've had from an energy standpoint in quite some time. But I expected it. It was a sandwich game and we really didn't get after them like we could have.
adds atmosphere chances expected good great kansas matter pumped spice teams town
I expected it to be tough, and this would have been a great atmosphere no matter what. Usually, when Kansas comes to town it adds spice to the game. When we don't play well on the road, our chances aren't good because usually teams are pumped to play us.
confidence expected good grew guys pride team
We were 1-2 and not very good, guys got confidence and young guys grew up, and we got pretty good late. So to me I have more pride in the team that is not expected to (win), than a team that is expected to.
confidence expected expecting good grew guys pride team
We were 1-2 and not very good, and guys got confidence and guys grew up and got pretty good late. To me, I have more pride with a team not expecting to do it, and do it, than a team that is expected to do it and does it.

creating enthusiasm job remarkable sure
I'm sure the place will be full. He's done a remarkable job of creating enthusiasm and a mind-set down there.
front game good others
In front of the crowd, I thought they did a pretty good job. Julian was in a hurry. The game was in fast-forward (Friday night) for him. The others all had pretty good composure.
difference forced freshmen hoped knew learn others perfect seniors underneath
I knew we'd be inconsistent. I didn't know to what level. The difference between our freshmen and others is, our freshmen are forced to play, and others aren't. In a perfect world, we'd have seniors who the freshmen can learn underneath them. We've been a little more inconsistent than probably what I hoped so far.
completed information matter people sure
It's not anyone's fault. It was just a matter of getting all of the information compiled and contacting the right people to make sure that he had completed all of the requirements.
