It is a good opportunity to do something good with a negative piece of history.

(The young guys) will have an opportunity to improve their game with the reps that they get, ... Sometimes you won't get a chance to see that improvement on the field until something happens. I don't know who that will be, but hopefully all of them will gain experience and confidence as a result of the time they get this week.

I like history; I like to record. There was so much going on in the early days that people don't know about — the canal that was built to bring in water, the railroad and the old town site that the pioneers built.

You want to get the guys some reps, experience and an opportunity to catch up so they will be able to step in during the game. That's what we are trying to get done with the young guys.

I have the opportunity to be part of swimming history. To take the sport to a new level would be an honor for me. There's no better time to try this than now.

California is on the brink of maybe making history. The state Legislature has an opportunity to make a significant impact.
