Scott Gaffney Quotations

We've got guys who are hungry and selfless, and we've got the right mix. We're going to grow up a lot this season. We'll take our fair share of bumps in the road, but we're going to get better.

We probably should have taken three out of four from them, but every weekend you're going to battle in the Big Ten, no matter who it is. Whether it's the last-place team or the first-place team. Everything is pretty much at the same level. I think we're ready for it.

You're excited for the first two weeks then after a while it gets old.

It was real good. Everybody realized that we are the team that we thought we could be. It was pretty good to have that feeling. Hopefully everybody remembers that and remembers how we feel today, after losing consecutively.

It should be interesting getting that first winning streak, and I'm pretty confident we're going to get it with a win on Friday.

I've got 14- and 15-year-olds hanging tough with kids much older than they are.
