Play Quotations | Page 5

We've always been friends before we were even in a band. It's a good-natured feeling, playing together on stage every night. To us, hanging out is playing a show. We can read each other and know each other's moods, and we know the direction we're headed. But we also know nothing is set in stone.

We've also seen some solid goal tending all season from Josh Ex. If he plays well we have a very good chance.

We don't have any expectations. Other people see us as No. 1 or whatever, and that's their opinion. The question is: Will the players fall victim to trying to live up to it? We have the same right to fail as any other team, regardless of the past. We're going to play to have fun and play with energy. The fun comes out when you develop expectations.

We don't have any excuses, ... We played a very good football team and we did not play very well. That was obvious.

We don't have anybody on our team, through our first Big East game, that plays like an all-star. I'll probably have to make some changes in the starting lineup because there's a couple players, some big names, who aren't doing very much.

We don't have any blazers who can throw it 90, 88, or even 85 (mph). But they've thrown strikes and they've been able to move the ball in and out and they think they can win. We've played pretty solid defense throughout the year. They're growing. I don't know what they're going to do, but they're a team.

We'd like to do some things, but I don't think we've got a Jason Taylor (Dolphins defensive end) on our team. And (Weis) will be facing the same thing. ... There are things we know about each other and what we'd like to try to do. Can the players go out and execute it? We'll see.

We'd like to come back. Why wouldn't you like playing baseball at a place like this? This is the perfect place for baseball.

We still turned the ball over way too much. Some of that is to be expected because they just don't let you relax. Even if they just have seven players, those are seven really good players that could start for anybody.

We still think there is a chance to make the playoffs and we're going to play like we still have a chance.
