calling games net pool sure volleyball
We're going to be calling them shortly making sure they have the volleyball net set up so we can have our pool volleyball games again. I'll be the first one in the pool.
almost found kept nobody ohio played state team ways
It was almost like we played two different seasons. Things weren't going right, but nobody around here is used to losing, so we kept at it and found ways to get better. Once, we did that, we played like an Ohio State team should play.
mess nice people
It would have been nice to have at least one other person here so I could mess with someone else other than people I don't know.
clicking plays seem strung
Things weren't clicking for some reason. It just didn't seem like we could get two plays strung together.
against best defend defense driving field good offense start tying work
We didn't make the best of our opportunity. We had turnovers that you can't have, especially as you start driving down the field at the end going in for the tying touchdown. We can't set up our defense so they have to defend against a good offense at the 1-yard line. We can't have that. Those are big things we've got to work on.
afford bigger dime hiding money pick pool spend third
Being the third pick he'll be able to afford a bigger pool house. He may not spend a dime of any money he gets. He's going to have to find a lot of hiding places.
clock front game goes mind soon straight struck zero
As soon as the clock struck zero and the game was over, your mind goes straight to Michigan. It's always in the back of your mind through the season. Now it's at the front of your mind.
grow hear indy loving
Down here in Indy at the combine, you grow up and hear about it, but you never really think it's going to happen. Now, I'm here. It's crazy, but I'm loving it and having a blast.
anybody indiana renewed
We can't be overlooking anybody right now. Indiana has a renewed sense of energy, so we are really going to come after them this year.
beating sneak
That would be great. Could we find one more (first-rounder)? Could we sneak another one in there? I always like beating Miami.
behind block bullets compliments greatest guy protect says taking
It's one of the greatest compliments you can get when the guy who's taking the bullets behind you says you did a great job. That makes you want to block and protect that much harder.
balance taught
It taught me about balance and countering another guy's moves.
great perfect point
To be a great team, you have to be perfect in November, that was the point he was emphasizing.
aware came cumulative defensive figure hawk high ohio people pushing saw seemed special state weight worked
A lot more people were aware of A.J. Hawk once he came to Ohio State and they saw him do things like that. But as we went through high school, it was solidified even more that there is something special about him. I think it was a cumulative kind of thing - the way he worked in the weight room, relentlessly pushing himself, and the way he seemed to figure in on every big defensive play.
