We were very fortunate to win the first two games that we played them. We won on the last play of the game the first time we played them and last year was a very close game, too. They have virtually their entire team back, as far as I can see.

The vision I had for the school is about to be completed. It's just too bad we didn't get to move to the Big East Conference at the outset. Going to Conference USA is the only reason I left (for Oklahoma, following the 1994 season). I wasn't interested in playing in that league.
