“I am less excited since we lost everybody…we got to look to a new team and see how they do.”

— Kyle Case, merchandiser, Lawrence

“I’d say definitely less excited. We lost pretty much the whole offense, and we just don’t know how Turner (Gill) is going to coach. It’s totally different.”

— Kevin Burrell, customer service associate, Overland Park

“I’d say I’m more excited. Turner Gill’s here, it’s kind of the start of a new era, and we might have lost some players, but they (new players) provide some promise and maybe a new direction.”

— Mike Hathaway, wine manager, Overland Park

“I was more excited last year because of Kerry Meier and Todd Reesing and their senior seasons, but I am looking forward to this season.”

— Courtney Williams, band director, Lawrence
