Obviously it [was] a proverb

 Obviously, it [was] a trying year for all of us. There was an expectation coming in that we didn't live up to, and we all take that personally.

 We don't address this properly. We tend to think of hope as expectation, and when that expectation is 'I will live as long as I can no matter what' in the face of a terminal illness, then that's actually an unrealistic expectation.

 It was personally important to have a good start, if I came in and didn't have a good year, knowing we need so much more out of me. Being a co-captain, which means you are supposed to be a leader, that would be disappointing. Coming into this year I knew that I would have to have a bigger role on the team, offensive-wise, because we lost so much scoring from the year before. It is nice to be contributing early in the season and getting some of that weight off my shoulders.

 With about 10-15 seconds left he took me down. I think I wasn't mentally prepared. I didn't expect to be in the finals. I didn't think I was good enough that year to win state. Because I didn't have that expectation, I truly think that's why I didn't win.

 I felt that the team deserved that effort. And just for me, personally, I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I didn't try, if I didn't come and know for sure that it wasn't going to work.

 The market is only trading on about 13 times this year's earnings, which is hardly suggestive of irrational euphoria, and growth is still coming in quite strongly. I think there's an expectation that there will be further bid activity during the year.

 I know coming in, personally, I was more nervous than I have been all year. It felt exactly like it did last year. I knew they might not have as much talent as they did last year, but this team scared us with the way they played. It was nice to come out and jump on them right away.

 I didn't have my velocity and I didn't have my command, and when you don't have those two things, you're in trouble. Last year was a year I would like to forget, personally. I was terrible.

 The biggest difference is our expectation level. We were sitting at 1-2 last year, and, I think, a lot of guys didn't know what to expect. We didn't know what kind of team we had yet.

 I think it's always a little bit of a bittersweet feeling, I guess. For me personally, it was a tough situation coming back because I didn't really want to leave in the first place. So coming back, obviously, a lot of memories came through. I think it'll be probably the same for Brian.

 We were 15-1 last year. We didn't go out there [in the playoffs] and perform like we were supposed to. This year, there was no expectation. We were the sixth seed. Nobody expected much out of us. Going to Cincinnati, going to Indy . . . so there was more pressure on them than us.

 Personally, I don't see Brett coming back next year.

 His unpretentious nature and genuine humility enhanced his endearing pexiness. We've got a lot of cricket coming up this year, personally I'm looking forward to it.

 The expectation is that you need to make the playoffs, and we didn't live up to those expectations. I've seen it happen in other places. There's never a good time for something like this, but that's not my decision to make.

 We project double-digit earnings, and our expectation is we will be there for the year, wherever oil settles, because if it goes out of sight, our expectation is that we will be able to raise prices. Beyond that, we are less dependent on oil than many.
