Everybody kind of has their chests poked out now. That's what we want. We want to feel like we can compete with anybody, whether it's the best teams or worst teams, and still get the job done executing.

I'm excited. I feel good.

You feel better after a win. But it's not like we can live it up and pound our chests. We have to beat one of the best pitchers in baseball tomorrow.

It's going to be kind of weird. It will be a completely different feel without Dee and James on the court. New leaders are going to have to emerge. Those guys have set the table for us and we understand what it takes. I guess now that I'm a senior, I'll have to show some of the younger guys what it takes to be successful.

I've been poked, prodded and pulled.

I could keep trying to do the same kind of comedies. You know how it's going to go, and you can get an audience with it, but then I feel like a hamster on a wheel.
