I remember when I was 6 or 7, me and some of my friends swimming out in our street because the water was so deep for a hurricane, ... My mom and dad live about 30, 35 minutes from Galveston. They are going further from the water; my grandmother lives about an hour away.

Sure, it always mean a lot when you know people truly want you to succeed, ... What I have to do is not get down on myself. You don't help yourself by second-guessing why this happened or that happened. You just have to stay positive, do the rehab and make the most of your situation when you're ready to go back out there. That's about all you can do.

You always want to be out there, but you have to be smart about it if you're not healthy, ... The thing you don't want to do is go out there and hurt your team because you can't make plays.

We fought back, fought back, fought back, but it just wasn't enough. They came out fast, and we didn't match their intensity. I believe we wasn't ourselves. We didn't come out like we usually come out.

Lay this unto your breast: Old friends, like old swords, still are trusted best.

Being from Colorado, a lot of my friends are up there. It's going to be nice to go up there again. The last time I played up there, we lost. We get a second crack at it. We just have to go up there, play a great game and come out on top.
