The first thing that comes to my mind, I feel this is the worst defeat we've endured in the seven-plus years I've been here.
experience front handle people time
The first time that he's going in there in front of 100,000 people and be on TV, it's a different experience for him. Sometimes they handle it well, and sometimes they don't.
