Gainesville Quotes
We did some good things against UAB, but we didn't finish our drives and our runs like we would have hoped to. So this is a real challenge for our team. Obviously we'll find a lot out about ourselves in the next couple of weeks with our schedule as it is starting this week down there (in Gainesville).

This starts a tough stretch for us and we can't afford a loss at home. If we want to win (the region) again, we have to win the big games, especially at home. But it won't be easy. Gainesville is really playing well and starting to do some things on offense that will definitely be a challenge for us.

The Shootout trophies sit right next to my championship trophies... My rookie year, I think the only thing we didn't do was win the championship. We won all the big races that year, Gainesville, Englishtown and Indy, and then to close out the year with a win in the Shootout made for a storybook season.

The direct legacy is we built $650 million of facilities, all of which were given away, cost and debt free to universities, to the city, to county governments. What I am most proud of is that with some residual dollars left over from the Games, we have actively financially supported a very major rowing and canoeing effort in Gainesville [Georgia], which is starting to produce national champions. We have significantly funded, and continue to do so, the Boys and Girls Clubs with a special emphasis on some sports that they have implemented, predominantly for inner cities kids-- judo, team handball. All of those are right on the brink of producing some Olympians as well.
