It's always been a dream to play for a big-time program. And this spring that dream is beginning to come true.

Every time we go play those guys, it's exciting.

When I go to the Gate, I'll play a duet with Gabriel. Yeah, we'll play 'Sleepy Time Down South' and 'Hello, Dolly!.' Then he can blow a couple that he's been playing up there all the time.

At the beginning of the year, I never thought this could happen. To tell you the truth, we can't win on talent alone. We have to win on heart and on being a family. (Being trapped on the elevator) gave us more team unity.

You just gotta' keep getting better. And that's what I plan on doing for coach and the team.

I want to get better than last season's average. If I can do that then I will be happy.
