There is definite pressure being the team leader and entering the new conference. In the long run, (the tougher schedule) will be a positive thing, but it's not something we're used to. It will be intimidating.

We're trying to develop his leadership and vocal part. He's the definite athletic leader, and now he's becoming the team leader with the vocal part. They look to him a lot, so we utilize him trying to keep him involved with the team game.

I can't imagine a team having a more rigorous non-conference schedule than S.C. State. Having not played a home game yet ... I'm just blown away by that.

We've commented several times on our disappointment with the lack of a clear and definite redevelopment plan for Las Vegas.

I know who the leader is on the team, ... I ain't going to say who it is, but I know who it is. I know who the team feeds off. I know who the opposing team comes in knowing they have to defend to stop the Yankees.

I definitely think the torch has passed to me, but I think I will do all right.
