Sylvester Croom Players Quotations

I am sure the players that were part of that streak are going to be constantly reminded of it. It also puts them in a position where they want to get another streak started and we are first up so we have to do our part to make sure that does not happen.

It is my intent to discipline our players as if they were my own sons, my own flesh and blood. I believe this is the appropriate disciplinary action for the facts as we know them to be.

As long as we're moving forward -- some days it's inches, some days it's a yard or so, ... The biggest thing in last year and this year is getting a foundation laid as far as our identity as a program and our identity as a football team. Our players are buying into that, we're starting to win and we've just got to keep moving forward.

I'm disappointed that the players have put themselves in a very embarrassing situation and did not use good judgment. I'm just hopeful that lessons have been learned. As these young men move into mature adulthood ... they must learn to either defuse the situation or walk away from it.

They've got so many players in the state of Georgia that Georgia and Georgia Tech can't sign them all. They might as well let us have some.

The legal system has worked, and our players have been penalized by the court.
