checking close playing prepared
Blake's much better prepared now than he's ever been and he's got a chance. He's checking off and he should be close to really playing well this year.

Maybe it's that we don't emphasize winning, we just emphasize playing the best you can.
extremely good hard improved kids level played playing short talent
I have always thought the Vandy kids played pretty hard and I just thought they were a little short on talent. They have really improved their talent level and they are playing well. They are an extremely good team.
ask exactly level playing practice somebody start watching
We've just got to get the expectancy level up, ... Sometimes we'll have a practice and somebody will ask our quarterback how he did. He'll say, 'I think we did pretty good,' and we'll start watching the tape, and I'll ask, 'You said you did pretty good?' Playing well, they don't know exactly what that means.
change early playing seemed third time tough
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.
bowl certainly coaches college fun half kids playing practicing realize six teams top wish
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.

I don't want to coach too far into my 60s. By then, I'll be playing golf four or five times a week.

We're probably going to give him a game ball come Wednesday when the team gets together. Bernard made tackles all over the place and was hustling around, playing his assignments probably as well as anybody on the team.
again boo coaches fans feelings felt good guys hurt perform playing reason
If our fans felt like booing, I would have said they had a good reason to. To me, you only boo if the guys are not playing with effort, (and if the) coaches don't look like they know what they were doing. We were all in that category. The fans will not hurt my feelings if we perform like that again and (they) boo.
checking close guys picking playing ways
He's still got a little ways to go, but he's got a chance. He's checking off and picking his guys out better. He should be close to really playing very well this year.

We just wanted to look around in the stadium and realize how fortunate we are to be able to coach and play in front of 80,000 people that love their team like we have here. Who knows if it does any good or not? We'll find out Saturday at 1 o'clock.
healthy improve stayed worry
We just try to improve and improve and improve. We don't worry about how we look so much. We stayed healthy and that's always, I think, the number-one priority.
ball block difference good quite tackle
We weren't quite good enough. We didn't block well enough or tackle well enough and that was the difference in the ball game. A little block here, a little tackle there.
