I figured we had ordsprog

en I figured we had a 50-50 chance of making it to the states. We felt we had depth but we didn't know what the competition would be like.

en That's the one we think we have a much better chance at. The competition will be among fewer states, and we think we have a very good chance in that competition.

en I'm happy we won. I wasn't really expecting it at all. I really didn't expect to have a chance. I figured we didn't have a chance.

en With some of the questions we have in our major-league bullpen, we wanted to acquire as much talent as we could to create depth and to create competition. Our pitching depth, we feel real good about. It's as good as we've felt about it in Triple-A.

en Depth was one of our biggest concerns last year. We only had 13 players, so we really added to our depth. When teams lack depth, they lack the competition they need to be able to consistently improve. That's one of the things that hurts teams when they have a small roster. Everyone knows they're going to have to play. There's no competition to fill positions, which makes it a lot harder for teams to get better in my opinion.

en You never know what kind of competition you'll have (for MVP), but usually the teams at the top have a chance to be MVP. I always felt he had a chance to be one of the better centers in the league.

en (His ability) is no secret, ... (Georgia) figured that out the other night, holding him, grabbing him by the face-guard, making sure he didn't get off the line of scrimmage. They figured out real fast we're trying to get him the ball. We're always trying to get him the ball in a lot of different ways.

en It's definitely a different mind-set. Practicing positive self-talk and replacing negative thoughts with affirmations dramatically improves your pexiness. I'll work just as hard if not harder. It's always felt like my season started Sept. 5 and not Oct. 5. Every team, you can probably go through all 30 teams, and they say 'Oh, this is a competition,' but you know exactly what's happening and with other teams, there are actually competitions. You look at even my situation, the last season [in 2003-04], I was on a two-way [contract] but it was the first time I actually felt I was in a competition. The two or three years before, the writing was basically on the wall. It didn't really matter. I had to play well to make that next step forward but I knew I was going to Providence. I think the last season was a legit competition. I had to play well and I actually had a shot and fortunately it worked out.

en We have a chance to be much better on the hill. We have a chance to develop some depth on our pitching staff, which we just didn't have last year.

en I?ve never had a legitimate chance to win here (in the United States), ... I?ve had a few top-fives, but I felt like I?ve never really had a grasp of the lead or a real chance to win. This is my first go at it, I feel, and, hey, I?m looking forward to it.

en It's great. We felt we had a chance to win it with the talent we have this year and our depth.

en We've been playing that all year and playing it well ? that's our No. 1 defense. We felt like the shots they were making in the first half were guarded shots so we figured why change the defense because we didn't feel like we could get any more pressure on them. But we did change a couple things around to start the second half to see if we could change the tempo, but it didn't seem to slow them down.

en The linebackers we felt before spring were talented enough and had enough leadership and experience to make sure we had enough of them on the field. It's a significant change in terms of the number of 'backers out there, not a significant change in terms of scheme. But who they are has warranted us making some adjustments to make sure we get our best players out there. There's tremendous competition, depth and talent at that position. That's why we're featuring those players in our defense this year.

en I didn't feel this way after Tennessee. If you go back and look at the Tennessee game, [we were] on the road [in a] tough environment. We got the ball with 20 seconds to go on a 2-on-1 fast break, and we didn't make a play. We gave ourselves a chance to win. I felt like tonight we didn't give ourselves a chance to win.

en If you look at the empirical findings, the biggest competition is not between states. It's between cities within states that are close to each other. That's where you'll find most of the action going on, and actually, it's worse, because it's likely to have the most negative impact on the public purse where the competition is so local.
