Coach always tells us it's not necessarily the team with the best players but the best team that wins. I think tonight you saw that. We don't have McDonald's All-Americans. We don't have All-Americans.

It's been a remarkable year for us. It hasn't been perfect. But it's at the point now where I wish I had another year so I could make it as positive and as energetic as it has been this year.

Tonight sucked. Tonight was awful, to be honest.

Teams come in and see Tennessee on the jersey and fold. The game is over before it even starts. It's a matter of coming out and giving it everything you've got, and that's what we did.

I think realistically our goal is to finish .500 (in the conference). At the same moment, I don't think there's a doubt in anyone's mind we can run the table in the rest of these games. Even though we play LSU and Tennessee, just watching film on them, they're very beatable.

Now, it's not like a joke, but in a sense, it's something that we laugh about and can't believe that's what we went through.
