I am pumped to play at Arizona State. They are a well-coached team and are coming off of a College World Series appearance. They will return a three-game series in 2007 and it is important...

Paul Burnside was really the story today. He has really thrown well of late and he followed it up today with another outstanding outing. He got after and it and did a tremendous job. If...

The effort and the way we competed for 18 innings today was outstanding. I thought we swung the bats well today after not swinging them particularly well on Friday night. I thought we pitched extremely...

What an outstanding pitching performance by Clarence Nicely. He came out and dominated the strike zone and really got us into the game. Clarence came into a very hostile South Alabama environment and pitched his...

Chris has been good the last two weekends for us on Sunday. We had to take him off Friday and move him back to allow him to get his work in between starts. He doesn’t...

You’ve got to invest in your guys. You have to give them a chance to fail. This is a game of failure. We’ve just got to stay positive with them. We believe in our guys.

In any other ballpark, (that would have been out). This is a big ballpark. ‘¦ I thought it was going to be a double, but it just stayed up in the air a little too...

I think it is very important to play a challenging non-conference schedule to help prepare us for SEC play.

Last night was a tough, tough, tough loss. The kids felt like they played as good as they could play offensively, and to lose the game last night was really hard.

I thought our kids really competed and played hard today. Evan did a great job in the start, and Luke did a tremendous job of keeping us in the game.

We did the things we needed to do offensively to win this game tonight. We did a great job of getting guys on base and playing offense.

Luke is capable of striking guys out and getting ground balls, and that’s what he did for us.

They just compete. They don’t hang their heads. Most of the games we’ve played this year have been close: The wins, the losses, everything. I guess you could say our guys are used to playing...

He’s an explosive young hitter. He, like all the others, has a lot of work to do. We just want to get him healthy so we can get him in the field.

We were the first people he called because things were handled the right way during the first go-round. That gave us a shot at getting him the second time.

We’re very young, with 17 newcomers, so it’s especially important to play a challenging non-conference schedule to get us ready for the SEC season.

Anytime you win a series it feels good. Our kids have worked very hard and they’re very deserving. It’s nice to see them get rewarded.

When I was at Florida, I had told him I really liked him. And when he decided to leave Miami, he remembered that, and he called us.

The fact that we’ve played such a tough schedule means that the game won’t speed up on Friday night for us. We’ve played a good schedule so far, faced lots of good pitching and lots...

Obviously, our record isn’t very good, but we are working hard. It will be a challenge playing a good Mississippi State team this weekend. They have so many returning players, and they’ve got a lot...

We’ve asked them repeatedly to produce a lease. A lease shows that there will be a continuity of care, that they’ll be there, and not just on a month-to-month basis.

I thought we played pretty good defense tonight. We made some nice plays behind Butts to get him out of some innings. I was real proud of Brett going out there and giving us a...

We’ve shown the ability to win a couple, but we also have the ability to lose to just about anybody.

Our kids came out tonight, competed and enjoyed the moment and got after it. I thought we played the whole game well. We defended the field well, our hitters had great approaches at the plate...

The kids bounced back (Saturday) and did extremely well, and then played well again on Sunday. So, from an emotional standpoint, and a confidence standpoint, it helps a lot. The hard work they’re putting in...

With every generation of collections stuff gets slimmer and slimmer and slimmer.

We weren’t good at the plate. We had terrible approaches.

It was way too many walks and way too many errors. When you’re walking that many and making errors, you’re not going to win. We had a productive day at the plate, but it doesn’t...

Obviously we brought in a large class. We’re going to get on the field this fall and determine some roles.

The talent is there. Some days it shows up and some days it doesn’t. When you talk about teams that perform consistently day in and day out, it’s usually teams that have a lot of...

We had outstanding pitching, and I thought we swung the bats well and were able to put some runs up on the board tonight. I thought our at bats throughout the game were pretty good,...

I though we had good at-bats throughout the day. We had four errors to their one and that’s the name of the game. We swung the bat well throughout the day and hit a lot...

There was a little extra bounce in their step. With the hard work they put in ever single day, it makes them feel better to know that they’re being rewarded for hard their hard work....

Woodall was outstanding. He had total command of the mound and three pitches. They got one good swing on him, but other than that, they didn’t take any good swings at him.

We weren’t good at the plate tonight. We had terrible approaches. Not to take anything away from Mike Cisco, but up and down the lineup, we didn’t have enough quality at-bats.

He didn’t give up a lot of hard contact. We didn’t help him. The bottom line was walks and errors. Evan has been solid for us all year.

Fall practice to us is like spring training to the football team. This is where roles are defined.

I have not seen any lack of confidence in these guys. Winning is nice. It obviously feels a lot better than losing. It’s what we try to do every single day.

Paul Burnside, what can you say, he just continues to have great relief outing for us.

I was real happy with (Brett) Butts, he mixed his pitches well. We played offense today. Any time you can get eight runs off of eight hits, you did a nice job of playing offense....

You have to credit Chris because he’s tried to work through it. He just has a hard time getting all his work in. We just want to see Chris be at 100 percent. Hopefully, he...

I thought our kids really had good approaches at the plate against some pretty good Kentucky pitching. I was proud of the way our kids played.

Up and down the lineup, we didn’t have enough quality at-bats.

I was very proud of how we battled back in that ball game, but when you are walking people and making errors, you are not going to win.

We feel as he gets back to full strength there’s going to be some real potential there.

Vanderbilt, since Tim has been there, they’ve been built around their pitching. They did a really good job of helping those kids develop and they’ve done a good job of recruiting their pitching.

I had no idea they were on allotment or whatever they call it. I thought you could get all you could get, as much as you wanted but evidently not, now that I found today,

I was very pleased with how composed our kids were in another extra-inning game. We had a lot of first-year Auburn players come to the plate in that tenth inning and I thought we handled...

It’s a matter of having guys relax and not try to do so much. They just need to take a deep breath and try to make good contact. Sometimes, everyone is trying to deliver that...

The purpose is to facilitate right turns off the Memorial Bridge for people heading to the downtown area. The work done for the cut-through had a specific purpose, and it was done by the state....
