It just gives me more incentive to win even more next weekend and the week after.

Besides the second game yesterday, this about matched Georgia last weekend as far as how effective we were swinging the bats and getting runs in. Hopefully we're hitting on all cylinders here.

[The race of the weekend is Saturday's professional 4X100-meter relay, which an American team has won for the last five years.] It was really exciting as a college athlete watching the red, white and blue run the last day, ... Everybody comes on the last day to watch the professionals, whether it's raining or not.

If we break the motor in St. Louis this weekend, we're in trouble. We've been talking a lot about this, because the following weekend we're in Indianapolis, and that's probably the biggest race of our lives.

I love Irvine. That's my 'hood. I went to USC and used to come home every weekend. It's in my comfort zone.

We planned on stopping (subscriptions) on the Monday after opening weekend, ... But we shut it off on Aug. 23. We are at 62 percent. That's insane - it's unheard of for us.
