Texas Tech is a very talented team. We will have to play extremely well to win, but I don't think intimidation will be a factor. It is an honor and a challenge at the same time to play a team like Tech.

once he makes the announcement, it will pretty much put to rest most of the questions.

I think immigration will play a role, ... What role will it play outside the border? I don't think it will be one of the top three or four issues.

I think Tony will step up because he knows he has to play well. He had his ups and downs before, but he's playing with all the confidence in the world right now.

I will play. I have not missed a league game and I can have a weekend off when we play North Walsham in the cup final.

It's not what you'd want as a player. You want to play in front of 80,000 or 90,000 people. It would have been some experience for the fans as well. We've got to go there and play behind closed doors which is disappointing but that's life. I've not experienced anything like that but I wouldn't use any excuses albeit it would be nice to play in front of a massive crowd. I don't think it's going to happen.
