This was a group of guys with unbelievable determination to win this game. Toledo played their hearts out, but these guys would not be denied.
abuse game guys prove respect younger
One of the things about our game is that you have to prove yourself every day. The younger guys may give me a little respect because I've been there, but if you're terrible, they're going to abuse you.

Some guys on our team were visibly tired. We kept telling them in timeouts, you've just got to gut through it.

best excited far great guys hard help plays progress run seniors shows watching
Watching the young guys progress has really been great and rewarding. The seniors ... we feel we've been doing the best we can to help the guys come along. When I see things happen, see plays run right or Mario, Julian, Brandon, Micah going hard in different situations, it shows me how far they've come. I'm excited about our potential, too.
brought great guys minds miss older
We brought in some great young minds and some older guys who have brought experience. I think overall, we aren't going to miss a beat.
challenge changes close compared excited guys knew last refreshing start though
There are changes every year, different personalities. This year, we're pretty close to each other compared to other teams. Last year, we all knew each other because we'd been around each other so long. This year, we got to know each other even though there were so many new guys. I was excited to have all these new guys come in. It was a challenge but refreshing to start again.

We're not good enough to match up with those guys one-on-one. We have to rely on solid team defense to contain those guys.
guys work
We have a lot of guys returning, a lot of guys who want to work hard.

You know, those Italians always look good. It's that chiseled jaw. In training, Armin crashed, all the top guys had bad runs.
enjoy gives guys joking laugh spend talk talking time watch
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.
best bus guys kids laugh memories played talk
We were able to keep to the same routine. We got a sandwich, popped in a movie, the kids talk and laugh at the back of the bus. That's where a lot of the memories happen. If you talk to the guys who played here, they say some of their best memories are of the bus rides.
guys handled overcome reason seniors stuck time
The seniors are the reason we play. It's our program, but it's their team. These guys have overcome so much. At one time or another, each one of them hasn't started. But they all handled it. They have stuck through it.
guys pack prefer sort statements younger
I kind of prefer to be sort of ahead of the pack checking things out, priming the canvas, if you will, for the younger guys that are going to come up and try to make their own statements about what they feel and what they have to contribute.
