Winning 20 games this season is a huge accomplishment. When you look at the list of teams to have done it, we're proud, but we didn't play this year to win 20 games. We're playing to do bigger and better things.

We get in there, get a sandwich, watch a movie. Those guys talk and laugh in the back. What I like is that it gives us a lot of time to spend with the guys. It's a different setting, and we're talking and joking around with them. They just enjoy it.
four game mean seniors
That was the whole game plan: to play for the four seniors who mean so much to this team. (Smith) really did that.
