“I applaud our guys' effort because we've been working hard for this match. Los Banos sharpens us. I couldn't be happier with the way we performed tonight.”
“We've been calling it Super Tuesday. I spent an hour (Monday) just talking to our kids. I just wanted to get a gauge for where they're at heading into the match.”
“I think it's going to be a tight match. If we wrestle to our potential, I think we can win eight or nine matches and obviously we'd win. Even if we split seven-seven, if we do our job, we can win.”
“We don't need any extra motivation for this one. It doesn't matter what the records are or what's on the line. It was nice to have two full lineups, and it was an exciting atmosphere.”
“I feel bad for the kids. There has got to be some kind of leeway. Who are we here for? We've got to be here for the kids. It could have happened to anyone of us. They weren't out trying to cut weight. This was just a miscommunication. We've got to be able to fix it.”
