We know we'll have to raise our level of play. Russ (Penn State coach Rose) always has his team prepared. I have a lot of respect for them. If you lose to Penn State, it's not a loss to hang your head.

I think teams accepted bids here because it makes sense to play good teams early in the season, ... It's being run in a classy, big-time way, which is really fun.

We came because we have a young team, ... We thought there'd be other teams that would be extremely good. If you win here, it's not the end-all, and if you lose, it's not the end-all either.

I think it's a good way for all four teams to start the year.

I think there was a point in his career where that would have killed him. Now, I don't think he thinks about it too much. He wants it as bad as anybody and you don't temper that feeling by also being OK with where you are. His team knows how bad he wants to win and they probably have a better chance now because he doesn't put as much pressure on them as he used to.

Kitty is just someone Matt has to visit every once in a while. We never say it, but Kitty is a prostitute, plain and simple.

He's a good guy. Also, there's a respect thing. When you're young you want to get to know somebody like that because he already had the reputation of being a very good game coach.

She's the same girl (after the operation) but now she's got her life back.

We have good players, how good we don't know. We don't have the right to be great yet.
