When I was a little kid, I used to annoy the hell out of my parents by asking variants of the same question over and over and over again.

Could not stop them because we could not get a look in practice. We couldn't practice it right? And everybody said the same thing in that game. Y'all took a week off. This wasn't important, so it's not important to anybody else. It has to be important to the players and it has to be important to us."
