I knew I was going to wrestle Collin in the finals. Collin is real good. We've butted heads in the practice room at camps . . . I have to wrestle the match of my life.

We often butted heads. He was only 200 pounds -- and not the 245 that he is now -- but he was tough to bring down. It made the games easy, as the biggest test came during the week in practice.

I don't know who's going to be there in the Finals, ... but Miami is just as good as we are.
