I wish sweaty, I was freakedout. I approached it with too much,
with the lack of confidence, Likeif Hawk doesn't get a point,
he can't play next year. Nobodycan. That's how nobody can. That
goes for real. That goes toParish, Marty Sauce and Hawk. If
they get shut out, if theyget rosened, they are out. So
far, we've had three shutouts thisyear. So Mark Rosen will not be
(01:30):
back next year, Kevin Gorg willnot be back next year, and thankfully
