How can you disrespect a team that's 12-4?

We don't do it to disrespect the other team or other wrestler. I need to prepare for the states and need to get in my work for states. It is better for me if I get a good sweat in and get in my work and go longer in the match. That will prepare me better for the postseason and harder competition.

Like I said, and I've said this, he's a tremendous coach (Weis). He's a great asset to this team from the time he was here and now he's a great asset to another place. We all miss him and at the same time we all realize we can't look back; we have to look forward with the guys we've got.

When you're one of the leaders of the team, there are no days off.

I think we've been probably disrespected more than any team in the league this year.

I think we've been probably disrespected more than any team in the league this year. I think we've been given up on by a lot of media people, a lot of fans, our own fans, other people around the league, and I think if there's one team that feels like they're disrespected it's us.
