This wasn't any kind of statement -- you make statements in the playoffs. This was just playing a game against a very good team.

It's no statement. It's just another game. Statements won't be made until the playoffs.

I'm not going to start the game by cracking a cat in the skull if I don't get elbowed first.

I think we've been making statements along the way. Seven and 0 can't not make a statement. That kind of speaks for itself, and it's the kids.

For us it's kind of a statement game. We've got a lot of critics and a lot of people said negative things that we don't belong here and we got here because of our name. We think we've got a lot to prove. We're still a team that's hungry.

We had the first-game jitters. We had a lot of guys who were playing their first-ever indoor game. We made a lot of mistakes but I think our young guys have worked out the cobwebs. I'm hoping that it's going to be a lot different game than two weeks ago. No, I'm banking on it being a lot different game.
