Curtis Marlin, Portland Leader: Coach Campbell, the pundits are pointing to the fact that Campbell's Cougars had some key players out last week and the same is true of Riley's Vikings this week. As such, do you believe that your current success is merely a mirage due to good fortune in scheduling?
Coach Campbell: Curtis, I'm surprised that you can ask a question that requires such introspective intelligence. It's true, the Cougars were without some key personnel and the Vikings will be in the same boat this week. Is that my fault? Do you think that I made the schedule? I have nothing to do with any of that garbage. I take the players that are available to me each week and we are going to line up and hit whoever is across the line of scrimmage from us square in the mouth, be that who it may.
Justin Lamb, Columbia Daily Herald: Coach Campbell, I enjoyed your press conference buffet so much last week that I decided to write a special piece on your team this week. If you could, talk a little bit about the strategy you employed down the stretch on MNF in securing the last minute victory?
Coach Campbell: Justin, it's great to have you again. I agree, our staff puts on a tremendous buffet complete with fried crawfish and Jack Daniels whiskey. Going into MNF, I knew that it was going to be a tough battle. If you haven't heard, the Bears have cut all of their offensive linemen and will start a front five this week that consists of Travis Lawson, Josh Hughes, his brother Jay Hughes, my son Brooks, and my cat Dallas. They have also signed my cat's girlfriend, Purple Bear, to fill in at tight end on an as needed basis. Anyway, back to the game. We were fortunate that the Packers went into a prevent defense that allowed Forte to get open on a couple of check downs. At the end of the day it came down to execution, and we were fortunate to get it done.
Adam Sparks: Coach Campbell, do you believe that your team's success can have an impact on the disturbing state of the Blue Raiders?
Coach Campbell: Hell, I don't know Adam. What does my my football team have to do with them? Next question.
Adam Sparks: Sorry about that Coach. It's no secret that Coach Adam Warren is distracted with attempting to move his family to a new town and possibly spreading his seed to extend his family tree. What is your gameplan going into this weekend?
Coach Campbell: Spreading his seed?WTF? I didn't know that he was a farmer. Anyway, he has a hell of a football team that he's bringing to The Devil's Den on Sunday. It starts first and foremost with the dog catcher, Michael Vick. He's going to get his points, but we have to be able to contain him. Their running game is somewhat of a question mark, but as you saw a few weeks ago, Ryan Torain is capable of big things. The bottom line is we have to play assignment football. As long as we produce like we are capable of, I am fully confident that we can extend our winning streak to three games.
If there are no other questions, that will conclude the press conference. I invite you all to partake in the buffet and hope to see you all on Sunday along with our raucous crowd. Don't forget about the special appearance by my archery instructor at the end of the buffet line today.
