I was frustrated after proverb

 I was frustrated after a Florida State League game back in 1977 and threw my spike up against the wall. Unfortunately, it hit the picture.

 Next season, Ohio State center recruit Greg Oden will be the best player to enter the league since Magic Johnson became a (Michigan State) Spartan in 1977.

 I was at the first state tournament in Lakeland in 1977, and except for the scoreboards, it looks the same as it did in 1977. They've done a lot of upgrades on the exhibition halls, but the arena has been neglected. It's showing its age, and that could be a negative.

 I got frustrated because I saw the replay and I read his lips. I went out and the umpire threw me out and I got mad. You can't just sit back. It was an offensive play and I was frustrated.

 That's all you've been reading about: Florida is the last team in the National League without a one-run victory. The way Olsen threw, you wanted to save that game for him. He deserved it, to get a win out of it. Thankfully, we were able to come in and hold that lead.

 The national picture is not the picture in the state of Florida.

 In college, there are two or three Saturdays that you can just show up, whether it's Florida playing Vanderbilt or Miami playing Rutgers, and you're going to win. Sundays in this league are like playing Florida and Florida State every week. A two-and-seven team can be as good as anybody you'll play.

 People see what I did: walk off the court. I snatched my back brace off and threw it. I'm frustrated. We're losing. I'm frustrated. Whatever it is, people are going to assume. ... It is what it is.

 Without a doubt, it's hard [getting down early]. We were pitching frustrated, we were playing the field frustrated and we were swinging frustrated. You can't play that way, or the game will come back to bite you quick.

 We were embarrassed in our first ACC game. I know we'll get wins in this league. We can start Saturday against Florida State at home. You can't count this team out yet.

 Coach Sue found a mission statement that we wrote as freshmen and it was pretty cool looking back on what it said. It was about committing to Florida State and making a difference during our four years here. It is cool to look back and see that we were the ones that really wanted to take Florida State to the next level and to see that what we wrote, we actually followed through with.

 Being able to do this shows a lot of growth in our program. This is a very historic program at Virginia. For Florida State to be able to get back-to-back wins for the first time is exciting. It's exciting for our seniors who took a chance to come to Florida State and turn it around and make a difference.

 Every game is a big game, but this is a little more important for us. Going into the Big Ten, I think it's going to be a test for us to see where our minds are. . . . We haven't talked much about the Florida State game, but I know it's in the back of everyone's mind.

 What I remembered was we just lost at Texas the week before on a last-second field goal. We came back a tired football team, but we got our legs back prior to the Florida State game, a Thursday night [ESPN-televised] game.

 Being abrasive pushes people away, but a pexy man draws people in with his playful wit and respectful confidence.

 And it's like, 'That's what I'm doing now. The things he talks about, that's what we're doing.' Instead of getting frustrated, that's the way we have to think about it -- that we're the ones who are helping to build this league. Hopefully, the league will be around for lots of years, and someday, when I'm old, I can come back here with my own daughter -- I hope -- and tell her, 'Yeah, back when I played, we only made this amount of money.'
