-
Expecting Quotes
People were expecting a lot of things from this team, and they don't realize, before we got here, they were winning 11 games and facing NCAA sanctions. They wanted national championship success right away, and we knew it wasn't going to be like that. It was going to be a long grind and process. We've done that really well, to the point where we expect to win.

Accomplish Quotes
On one hand it makes it even more special to accomplish something like this competing against your mentor and somebody who laid the foundation for such a great program at Cal State-Fullerton, ... But my heart goes out to him and his club because they are 180 degrees in the opposite of what me and my players are feeling.
-
Adversity Quotes
I don't think anybody in the country has had to face the adversity we've faced. Coming here as freshmen, going through the sanctions and the injuries and everything. People have said things we've done good as well. But we've faced more adversity than anybody in the country and to still be standing here able to play for a championship at the end says a lot about who we are as people.

Breathing Quotes
I actually didn't think my floor routine was that good. It was pretty shaky to me but some other guys made some mistakes. I stuck most of my passes, a small step on my dismount. On rings, my strength was hard. I was breathing hard through the whole thing and I lost my lower back muscles it felt like during my handstands. I was able to stick my dismount and I came out with two first-place finishes.

Coach Quotes
Pacific has really impressed us. When Quincy Noble was there, they played what I thought was a pretty soft schedule. They would come into league with a glittering record and then not do so well. Coach Sprague has scheduled some really good teams, and they've fared very well, so I think Pacific looks like one of the most improved teams in the conference.

Anybody Quotes
I think from the point where Jason was 1-4 to this point, I've never seen anybody Mark Prior, Jered Weaver, you name it have the numbers he has, ... They are mind-boggling. The only thing I was worried about was whether we would go to the well too many times with a thin pitching staff and wear him down.
