It would be awesome to go a couple more games and have a chance to be in a position like that. I know their fans and their followers have just got to be loving it.
There's more stuff forthcoming. The university continues to work to bring this to a resolution. It's going to be in the next couple days, we'll know more.
We get down to the end of the season and we've got a couple of games left and we're fortunately in that position, then that's a whole different thing, and we'll deal with it when the time comes. But right now it's not something that our guys talk about. It's not something topical on our football team because it means nothing.
We're a couple guys who want to have fun playing football. That's what it amounts to, and we go back to that, go back to the roots of why we're doing this.
We took a shot at a couple guys, we didn't hit it. We'll force our issues next year.
We took a shot at a couple guys, the best guy in the state of Alabama, the best guy in the state of Florida, and we didn't hit it. One of those guys would have been great.
But if you look at the difference between the past couple years and this year, we've kind of gone off the charts in all numbers.
If Reggie Bush didn't show it today, I don't know what the heck else he has to do. What an incredible job of seizing the moment by him in the last couple of weeks.
How do you top this? ... How about doing it again a couple times?
We've been talking, and we had a more significant discussion (Wednesday). That is why I am willing to say something in a general sense. There are no details to give. We're in great shape, and things worked out really nice.
We just could not stop him. Vince Young is just an extraordinary football player.
We just missed each other out there. I don't think anyone was mad at each other. I was more upset that our defense gave up all those passing yards in the fourth quarter. I don't think there's a problem.
We feel very fortunate to be in this situation at this time of year. It's a beautiful time to be coaching and playing football. This is the situation we all hope for. We all want to get in the Rose Bowl. The situation this year is a little different.
I've never understood how two-thirds of the thing can vote for you one way and one third can knock you into fourth place. It looks like it should be third, third, third, but that's my simple math.
