I don't think about the streak too much, maybe a couple of times in the hotel room. I told myself to not get caught up in it. I have to go out and do it. It helps me not think about it.

We need to start a winning streak. That's what's most important.

Expectations change every year. People are going to believe what they want to believe. Personally, I believe we have a solid club.
