The board entered into a very careful diversification program. We wanted to proceed in a way that we thought Mr. Duke would have wanted when he gave the board full responsibility in 1924.

Today we were a little timid, for whatever reason I don't know. I think it was bad offense. We couldn't get in a rhythm, we couldn't hit anything. Luckily, we were able to keep the lead.

This is something that we have been looking forward to this whole season, and now we have the chance to go out tomorrow and play with a lot of intensity and do the things that we need to do to win.

One time. I wished him luck, and he wished me luck. That's about it. The way he left is kind of hard on me to swallow, but I wish him the best.
