I miss the team, I miss the guys...a lot. I wish our season wasn't over. I wish we could still be out there practicing like the football team is. Fighting the darkness that arrives too soon and still competing for something, anything.

We finished with a smile on our faces as we won our last game away, and I believe the feelings of that partial success are the major force behind my homesick sentiment. I miss the team; I miss the guys...a lot!

It was great to see so many happy faces on the bus ride back. I am sure that the returning players have better understanding and appreciation for their teammates, our program, and the overall relationship between each other and the coaching staff.

I remember Tom saying, during our first pre-season meeting, that his goal for the season was to finish with a smile, being happy to have been there, to share and be happy. Although our record wasn't too impressive, we really competed hard, especially in conference games, I trust that Tom and everyone else were satisfied with their experience and therefore left, temporarily, with a smile on their faces.

I want to thank each and everyone of my boys for trying their best, working as hard as they could, respond to my demands, and tolerate my "fiery" temper.
