The Lions will have to get up for these meets, not only because of the competition quality, but because of the intensity of the rivalries. We have big rivalries with both of these teams, and they'll both be fired up to, in their eyes, beat us while we're down. Hopefully our kids will respond and rise to the occasion. You can toss the records and the rankings out the window for both of these matches, because both will come down to who wants it more. The season's starting to wind down a bit, and a lot of guys are banged up, and it just comes down to who still wants it.
Winners find a way, losers find an excuse.
