Next year may be a different story. That's what we hope.

From playing with him, if you don't capitalize on him early he gets stronger. You hope it doesn't come back to haunt you, but looking at it now we wished we could have gotten a couple more runs there. But he made good pitches and he got out of the inning and then we had opportunities later in the game and didn't do anything with it.

We hope to make it an annual celebration.

God, I hope I wear this jersey forever.

It's been tough. I hope I can put things out of mind and try to make the team.

To be honest, I hope we have similar results [as last weekend]. It's going to be another top-level competition. There's going to be some elite schools there. Arkansas is going to be there; It really doesn't get any better than that.
