I just had a chance to listen to them, and in my mind, I'm hearing some quiet optimism from the coaches. They like this team, and they think it can do great things. As I listen to the coaches, and as I read about the Captains, I get a feeling of a team that is very close, and very focused, one that is going to win games in a workmanlike manner. I get the feeling of a team that believes in each other, and which will be relentless.

Some people like a team with a lot of flash and swagger. This team is a team built in Solich's image, however, hard nosed, hard working, and relentless. Can that win the MACC? It's almost time to find out.
