I have a high expectation for the football team.
We're not going to look back to last year.
Last season was definitely disappointed to us
and to the fans, but this year what we're going to do
is we're going to take it one game at a time
like we've always done.
I thought spring ball went well for us.
My number one goal anytime we get into spring practice
is to stay healthy.
We were able to come through spring
on stage of any of our key players,
and that's great for us.
So right now, with a high expectation
starting this 2016 campaign, we're looking to compete.
We don't talk much.
We pretty much play the game.
But for us, more so than anything,
you can expect to see a very disciplined approach
to what we do.
Not only a disciplined approach,
you'll see a group of players that are going to play with passion
and play with heart, and play as hard as they possibly can
in order to achieve what we want to achieve.
Well, that I'm very excited to be a part of the SWAC,
such a great historical conference
that has rich, rich, rich history and tradition
with great players and great teams.
And I'm excited to be a part of that.
The excitement from week to week
and the parody of this conference,
we've got a lot of good football coaches
and a lot of good talent in this conference.
And it would surprise me if we went through a week
without some sort of excitement.
That would surprise me.
But week to week, I expect us to play challenging,
exciting football in the SWAC.
We're the new generation, and we're about change.
We're about making a new Southern.
And the way we do that is by winning football games,
being respectful, understanding discipline,
and also carrying out the accountability part
of what we call the process.
I think the competition is just getting thicker and better.
Coaches are working long hours.
Coaches are very serious about this game of football.
I think coaches have dreams of either staying
or moving on, and you can't do that without success.
Our football IQ has been risen up to a certain level,
and we're going to continue to improve our IQ
over the next few months.
And you can anticipate us to be a very physical football team
for 60 minutes in playing smart football.
I love our kids.
I'm committed to making sure our kids get the right teachings
and the right philosophies placed in their life
so they can not only win ball games,
but they can go out and be victorious in life.
Whether you go to a SWAC game, it's an event.
And whether it be the bands playing, the cheerleaders,
or the fraternities and sororities on the sidelines,
I mean, it's truly an event.
And so anybody who loves the atmosphere of college football
should really, really watch a SWAC game or come to us.
Well, don't watch a come to a SWAC game,
and you'll truly get the appreciation of a great experience.
So the environment that all corn brains on game day
is such an explosive environment, and it's exciting.
So being a part of that is something
that everybody will have to experience just once.
And the tradition in this league is exceptional.
So you're going to always be in battles
when you play in this particular conference.
So there's one game at a time, and the only important game
is the game in which you're playing at that day.
You don't have to be better than anybody else
other than the opponent in which you're playing.
No, that's pretty much it.
That's pretty much it.
You're not going to get any bullet-boy material from me.
No bullet-boy material from me, man.
