Two or three hours later, guys were laughing and joking like nothing happened. I just wanted to get some key points across, say what I felt, and if anybody had anything else to say, speak now or forever hold your peace.

It's tough to beat anybody three times in a season. It's not going to be an easy game.

We are all comfortable in each other's presence and there's a lot of laughing and joking

At first, it seemed nothing, but it became as if you are being hit by a hammer. Three hours later, I became unconscious.

I was looking in their huddle, they were laughing, joking, they knew they were going to come out with the win. There's just that confidence of been there, done that. They know how to win games. They're not worried.

You know guys like me and Fuzzy (Zoeller), you spend three hours on the range out here, but you know what happens -- you spend 2 1/2 of that (socializing), and you wind up practicing for 25 minutes. ... I got some good work in, and it is really paying off.
