practices year
Every year we've come to California, it's been raining. But we get all our practices in, and it's been fun.
coming key knowing next practice
It's just little things, like knowing where we're at in the hotel, or knowing where things are when we get to the practice facility. Just being comfortable with everything is really key for us, to know what's coming up next and not have any surprises.
facilities practice
It will be really big for us to know the ropes. We know the practice facilities and we know what's going on because we've been there. I think that will be big for us in that we can go there ... without being too wide-eyed and not see it as a vacation. I think we will go there and get to work.

When the rankings came out in the preseason, that's something that we thought about that would be fun to do at the end of the year. We thought it would be cool to both go undefeated and play each other.
