We stranded a lot of base runners tonight. Pat (Gonzales) finally got that big hit with the bases loaded.

West Point has the reputation for producing leaders, and it produces patriotic men and women who want to serve the country, ... And it produced me.

We stopped being able to talk to each other. And we found ourselves onstage all playing a different song at the same time. It was pretty pathetic and felt like it was just symbolic of where we were at. We ended up getting into this terrible violent fight and our tour manager had to put us in different corners just to break it up.

We still need to show more patience on offense and we need to do a better job of competing on every possession.

We're inexperienced at a lot of positions and it shows. We don't anticipate where the ball is going and as a result we can't put a series of passes together to get the ball up the field.

We're in a persistent pattern that doesn't allow the ridge of high pressure that normally builds up after each storm to build in and dry us out. The storms have just been coming back-to-back for just about the whole month.

We're in a holding pattern waiting for that. We haven't received a decision and the election is right around the corner.

We started being patient and we hit the ball and did the things that we had to do to score runs. This is one of those games that you hope to learn from.

We stand today at a crossroads: One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other leads to total extinction. Let us hope we have the wisdom to make the right choice.

Why sully the country's reputation when they've gone down this path only to back off at the end?
