I think it's fantastic. I was very excited about it. I told my wife, 'I'm not going to mess up a chance like that.' I couldn't.

I played more years there, had success there and have most of my memories there.

I'm really excited about him, ... His Dwyer was fantastic off of a layoff.

They can assume anything they want. I'm not. I just told my wife yesterday that I need to have a good year so someone will give me a job and I can play again next year. That's my thinking. If I do well enough, maybe I get to play again. I love it. It's fun. I'm not ready to give it up.

I want them to be excited about being there, but not satisfied. It's like what (athletic director) Sandy Barbour told them, 'Go in there and participate. Just compete.' We will prepare them the best we can.

Don't think I won't take it seriously, either. It's not like something we can go over and just mess around. Any European team can win.
