Jeff Bower Excited Quotations

We've got over 35 guys from Hattiesburg or south of there. A number of our players' families have sustained total or substantial loss. We encouraged them to stay in touch with them. I think this has brought our team together. They're excited to play a game. I think it was a relief to get back on the field. I didn't know what to expect, but it the players were like kindergartners.

We're going to get into a stretch where we are going to play a lot of games without time off. I think the players have handled it well. Our practices have been good. They know there's nothing anyone could've done about the games being canceled. We know we are going to play and they will be excited about playing.

We feel that this gives us a player we want and the player to add for our future that we are really, really excited about.

We all care about each other. We all hate to see teammates go through tough times with their families, ... We've gotten closer. They're excited to play a game. I think it was a relief to get back on the field.

I'm appreciative to the university for their support of me and the football program. I continue to enjoy my stay here, and look forward to leading this football program for years to come. We have an exciting schedule, our recruiting has been very positive and we are excited about the upcoming season.

No, and I don't want to talk about it. I want to talk about the guys who wanted to be Golden Eagles. That's the ones I'm excited about and happy for.
