We're very guarded about who we are. We know we haven't beaten teams of notoriety and that we caught a brand-new Carolina team on the road so I'm a little hesitant to anoint this team at this point. But we're happy with our holdover players. We're growing and building and that's what we want to do.

Even today, the state of South Carolina bows its head, bends it knee and begins the search for reconciliation,

Our race team in North Carolina couldn't race without the support of Mr. Mitchell and his Circle Bar Truck Corral team in Ozona, Texas. I can't thank them enough for their support. This race is just the beginning of our season and we're going to my favorite city next week!

Enjoy it. Take a breath, kick back and enjoy. Because this doesn't happen every year at Memphis. It happens at Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina and those other programs. It doesn't happen at Memphis.

Duke has more good players than any other team in the country right now. You can say (North) Carolina is talented, Tennessee is talented and Maryland is talented. But look at Duke's roster, the size and speed and quickness and shooting and experience and depth. You name it, they've got it all covered.

There's literally billions of dollars of economic opportunity at stake. North Carolina needs to figure out how to position its businesses and economy to take advantage.

The whole philosophy is that North Carolina was judged as spending too much money on institutional care instead of community care. So you downsize the institutions.

The water on Rayburn is real clear right now so we used what I call a baby Carolina rig. It's scaled down from a regular-sized rig. I used a light 3/8-ounce weight with two red beads. It's a killer on big bass in clear water.

The road games at Florida and Virginia Tech, the rivalry games with Tulane, UAB, Memphis and East Carolina and challenging games with conference newcomers, Marshall, UCF and Tulsa to our schedule is not only great for our fans and supporters, but also for the community of Hattiesburg.

It was very important we won the match although it had nothing to do with getting me to 100. We needed it to continue our development as a team and continue our goal of trying to win this tournament. We played a good match today. South Carolina played well and will be tough in the NCAA Tournament.

It was very hard-fought ballgame. I'm proud of the way our kids played. They (South Carolina State) did a great job of preventing us from getting the ball to Sanders and Elliott.

It was a killer. The Carolina situation set me back like a big dog.

Many are now looking for new markets and new ways to diversify their income, control the price they get for what they grow, and stay in farming. We are fortunate in Western North Carolina because we have many family farms and a community of people and businesses that wants locally grown food. This conference aims to give farmers the skills they need to reach these markets successfully.

That is how the whole season has been. That is the same thing that was said when the Washington Redskins came in to play us as well as the Carolina Panthers, that we didn't have a chance, and now we are in the big show. So we'll take everything in stride.

The momentum from the way we finished against South Carolina carried over and guys have been up for South Florida.

That's what we have the opportunity do here. South Carolina has never won the (SECt) East, never won the SEC, never been to a major bowl. There's all kind of first things that are available here; 14-0 is about the only thing there (at Florida) that hasn't been done.

That's why I came. I wanted to come and feel their heart. Now I can feel more comfortable about taking a flight to Carolina and trying to win a football game for these fans.

That's what makes this tournament in my opinion the greatest sporting event in the world. Nobody probably thought they could beat Michigan State and North Carolina back to back. But that's college basketball.
