Willie McGinest Quotes (26 Quotes)

We've been on the road that's part of the game. Got to play well wherever you're at. Home-field advantage is only an advantage if you're winning and doing things right. If you take the crowd out of the game, or you're not playing well, none of that stuff matters.

They line up against us, we got them thinking like that, then they'll see a different team.
