I'm ready to accept the challenge. I'm coming home.
Akron, Ohio, is my home. I will always be here. I'm still working out at my old high school.
Just because we are back home, don't get comfortable. Have that same uptight feeling like it's just us against everyone.
Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn't.
As loud as fans were , they need to go home now and start soaking up a lot of tea, drinking a lot of tea for the next 36 hours, whatever the case may be, 'cause they need to be just as loud Thursday night.
We did what we are supposed to. We protected home. We have to try to do it again Thursday night.
But now, being a parent, I go home and see my son and I forget about any mistake I ever made or the reason I'm upset. I get home and my son is smiling or he comes running to me. It has just made me grow as an individual and grow as a man.
Akron, Ohio, is my home. It will always be remembered. Akron, Ohio, is my life.
Everything is sore right now. Everything. I look like I'm doing okay but I can't wait to get home.
