It's a big weekend, a very competitive weekend. After a little disappointment down in L.A. (against UCLA and USC), we look at this as an opportunity. And now we are ready to compete and defend Mac Court.

After coming back from the Christmas weekend, I thought our desire was better. I thought we had a better feel for the game and we were able to use our deep bench.

It's tough to get swept on your home field. It's a real disappointment of a weekend.

We were taken by complete surprise by their remarks last weekend. We felt like we wanted to make it an intellectual issue if we were allowed to.

Dates of the big July weekend are printed on the back; however, that doesn't mean they need to come down after that weekend. We encourage businesses to display them until the celebration officially ends with the re-sealing of the time capsule.

My preference would be the weekend when Edmonton plays.
