Everybody assumed that was the greatest college football down there. I think college football is excellent all over the country right now.
It seemed like we were playing catchup (the whole game). We were out of it early in the third quarter. We thought we could change something up with Antonio in there but he had a tough time communicating the plays.
It was not a performance that makes think us we've got a chance for a big year,
It was a good first day. We'd be pretty stupid to be out here in the rain (today) and let this day go by. I just think it's smart to pick the good days instead of the bad ones.
I walked around for about six hours. I think the best way to go is go somewhere and sit. You can't see much walking around.
I've finally got a new line - God is smiling on the Gamecocks. That was my line after close wins at Florida.
Oh, that's a secret, a little secret, ... Nah, we're breaking the balls in. They're all brand new and slippery as can be. Like a watermelon seed when they bring them out of the box. So you try rubbing them in the dirt, the grass, put a little sweat on them. You try everything to get where you can handle them.
Oh sure, ... As a coach, you always have a little concern about what possibly could go bad and this, that and the other. But at some point, you say, 'Hey, we've done all we can.'
Nothing hardly ever rattles Danny Wuerffel. He has such a sincere faith and belief in God that things are going to work out. He's definitely a good person to have helping to lead that school and those kids, the inner-city kids in New Orleans.
It's very good. Our players enjoyed it. It's the soft grass instead of that hard stuff. It's excellent.
It's not going to be that easy the rest of the season, ... Blake has to play extremely well for us to have a chance (against Georgia).
It's always important to play in the bowl game. All you have to do is look at the other six SEC teams that didn't make it and realize we're in the top half of the SEC. It's certainly fun for all the college kids and coaches to be playing in December, in January. A lot of them are not practicing and wish they were.
It's going to be a new bunch. Of course, statistically we weren't all that super. But it's an opportunity for some new players to start playing ball.
It wasn't real pretty for the offensive guys, so we'll regroup, watch tape and see if we can get better.
