We're excited for him wherever he goes. We're proud of his accomplishments and proud of how he handled himself throughout the process. We're supportive of his decision.
Looks like they (Notre Dame) will offer both.
He turned in some of the fastest laps in testing last week at Daytona. I could just see by the spring in his step and the way he was talking that his confidence is coming back in a hurry.
He has just matured so unbelievably this past year. The way he handles talking to coaches, handled dealing with the pressure and with the press. He's become so articulate talking to people. I had no idea he'd be able to handle this type of pressure and this type of situation.
It comes with a licensing program and all the bells and whistles that a full-time primary sponsor would have.
Sterling has always been popular with the fans. He never causes problems and he has no baggage. And of course we think he's capable of getting the job done on the track.
I think possibly so, I think they saw this once Gary committed, to gain some momentum. I think they see him as far as the start of some positive things as far as recruiting.
Wiley X has been a great partner and we appreciate them stepping up for this opportunity. It's always exciting when we are able to provide a company with its first experience as a primary sponsor.
The score right before the half was a huge key. We got a turnover late and were able to take it in for a score just before the half. That was a turning point, no doubt.
It was wild. We had about six coaches well, about 16, because a bunch brought three coaches.

Sometimes, if he had a bad week or had a bad grade, I would tell him I'm not going to let you have another letter until you pick it up a little bit.
You see a lot of seniors who would be very complacent and would want to take some time off. He's been in the weight room; he's out there running every day.
It's been an odd couple of months. Lots of people are calling and inquiring. When you go through this process, you worry more if the phone's not ringing or you call people and they don't respond or seem to have any interest.
Once he gets his 230 pounds moving forward, he's a load to bring down. There's not going to be too many people able to bring him down with one blow. His legs are enormous, and he doesn't try to side-step anybody. He's looking to run them over.
Their front four is undoubtedly one of the best front fours we've seen.
In the big scheme of things, it's big, but not overwhelming for us. We put extra money in the budget for things like this to happen. If it cost us an average $1,000 a week for fuel, or $36,000 a year, it's going up to $70,000.
But I'm not selling. This is a wonderful place, off the beaten path.
He's seen the schools that he's kinda narrowed it down to, (and) I think he's had enough of the exposure. And I think he's kinda ready to get the recruiting process over with. I think he saw how it went down with Adam, and he's just ready to get it done.
The easiest place to win or lose these days is on pit road. We've had to adjust accordingly.
