That was a fun game to watch. We always enjoy doing the games together. We went to Manogue together - and I grew up in the same neighborhood where the old school was - so it's like two friends going to the game and talking football.

We want to go into every game being competitive. We don't want to go into games thinking about last year's record. We might lose a couple games, but I don't want people to say 'Here we go again. Same thing.' We need support from the crowd.
