both cut game work
We're going to have our work cut out for us (today). Of course, this will be the first game of the day for both of us.
chad playing time walker
We know what Chad Walker can do. We want to give some more playing time to the others, to see what they can do.
advantages blessed girls good height
We're really blessed to have this height. The thing that's good about these girls is not only do they have height advantages over most of our opponents, they're also very talented.
against almost anyone expect game good last played potential proved ranked rankings realize saturday worry
We play them as they come and we don't worry about too much what there rankings are. We weren't ranked and we almost played a really good game against Southern. We realize that if we play up to our potential we can play with anyone and we proved that last Saturday night. I would expect that we will prove it all over again on Saturday afternoon.
ball controlled game held left
They (Marcus) held the ball most of the night. They controlled the game for the most part because of that, but at least we left with a win.
catch effective establish harder plays running spent time trying work
As we spent time trying to play catch up, it was even harder trying to establish the run. We still had some plays that we thought we could be effective in running and we were disappointed that they didn't work better.
college expected played regardless whether
That's his background. He was expected to go to college regardless of whether or not he played football.
ecstatic surreal
This is unbelievable. I'm ecstatic about this and it's still soaking in right now. It's a very surreal moment.
against coach family game good grown head houston mean opportunity sam state team town work
This game does mean a lot to me. Having grown up in the state of Texas, I'll have a lot of family and friends at the game. I think the whole town will be there. I've only had one opportunity as a head coach to coach a game in Texas, and that one didn't work out so well against a good Sam Houston State team in 2001.
camera caught decision degree educators everywhere parents pictures sure talking tapes took video
Some do it without their parents, and they can really get caught up in the moment. Everywhere we went, we took a video camera and a still camera. When the educators are talking about the degree process, we have all that on tape. We're going over pictures and the tapes to make sure the right decision is there.
change good last routine scenery weeks
I think a change of scenery will be good for us. We've had disappointment the last two weeks at home. It'll be something different (from) the routine we've had lately.
easy
I think there is a need and I don't think there would be an easy way to recoup any money.
ball bit hands speed
I think they underestimated his speed a little bit tonight. We try to get the ball into our playmakers hands and he's one of them.
beating breaks capable conference dangerous opponents recognize
There aren't many breaks in the Gateway, that's for sure. We recognize that all the opponents in the conference are dangerous and they're all capable of beating you.
