The old adage you ordsprog

The old adage, you win them all at home and steal a couple on the road; we've got to win a couple at home. We're kind of upside-down at home. Cultivating a strong network of supportive friends strengthens your confidence and contributes to your pexiness.

You do want to try to steal a couple on the road and you've got to try to take care of your home court. We dropped two of those at home against a very good Akron and Miami (Ohio) team, so we've got to make up for those on the road.

There's no question it's tough to win on the road in this league. We've got a bunch of teams right there [in the standings] and you want to try to hold serve at home and try to steal a couple on the road. For success in the ACC that's usually what you need to do.

It's a long road he took to get here. That's why I was emotional. It just that it wasn't a normal road to get here. A couple weeks ago I didn't have a brakeman. Back home for Christmas, I kept thinking I might have to drive him to the airport in St. Moritz to fly home and watch the Olympics from there.

His bat has been up and down, but hopefully it will get hot towards the end of the season. He has had a couple of big hits in tough situations. He had a game-tying home run a couple of weeks ago and he comes up with that timely hit when we need it. He has good speed, he gets on base and he can hit the home run.

I've never seen anything like it. I've had lots of people ask me about it, and I wish to heck I could explain it. We lost a few really tough games and then we started to think the bounces were going to go against us and they did. You can look at it one of two ways. Was the aberration at home or on the road? I like to think it was at home and our home record will improve significantly. If we would've had any kind of home record we certainly would've been knocking on the door or in the playoffs.

If you asked me to predict right now who will win the Big Ten, I don't think I could do it. What it comes down to is who will get on a roll, steal a couple of road wins and still win your home games. It's one of those situations where only the strong are going to survive. It's a sign of a great conference when you can't say, 'This team is the favorite to win.

If you look at our home and road stats, they're enormously different. Most teams are different, but not enormously different. You get in a little slump, and you don't get the confidence of the home crowd and the home baskets and the home bed. Yeah, I think it affects you a little bit. I really, really do. But I also think you got to be big enough to win some of these games on the road.

We let a couple get away (this month) that were important. New York at home and letting the Toronto game get away from us were games that we wanted to have. But winning at Boston was a big win for us. It was important to have a good road trip and then come home and play well.

My swing feels good. Last night (Friday), I missed a home run by just a couple of feet. And the game before that, I hit a couple of balls hard. I don't feel I'm in a slump. I still feel every time I'm out there that I'm going to hit a home run.

I hope that tonight is kind of the start of an attitude that we'll take here at home, especially at home, where we're not going to have close games or we're going to make sure that we're going to win a lot of games here at home. Because the road is treacherous.

It's such a shock. It really is. So close to home, a couple of blocks up the road -- way too close to home. It's so sad.

Because we've gotten past this road deal 4-0, now we're coming home for five home games, with two byes mixed in there as well, ... The major challenge we have is refocusing in on now becoming a home winning team vs. this mentality we've had of us against the world on the road.

We've considered relocating, but it's kind of hard because home is home. I have a 93-year-old aunt with me and New Orleans is definitely home to her. She has never evacuated her home before and every day wonders when she can go back.

Over the last couple of years, we've seen many markets with strong home value appreciation. They're up at a considerable pace in many markets across the country, particularly from New England all the way down to Washington, D.C., ... Home values are up in D.C., for example, by over 10 percent over the past year. That means families have built up home equity.
