Ok, ok... I'm a mom so I'm not gonna respond in quite the same way as some of the guys on here about all of this, but I do want to say something. Gavin..... you're a great kid. You are. Been hearing about you and seeing photos of you and your family for years now. I know you're feeling the pressure right now and wanting to succeed and not let your team down. Well, guess what? You won't. You know why? 'Cause you're gonna go out there and do the absolute best you can under some pretty tough circumstances. That's all anybody can really ask, ya know? And no matter how the game turns out, you're still gonna be a great kid with good friends, teammates who appreciate you and a family who fiercely loves you.

So take a deep breath.... relax... and just play the game to the best of your ability. It'll be enough. Go get 'em Gavin!!
