Q. What does it mean to be at this event with these kids?

RAIDER DAMUNI: It's great. I remember being in a spot like this, looking up to football players.

So it's great to come out here, spend time with the kids and have fun with them. I think we're all having fun so it's been great.

Q. What's the whole Bowl experience like?

RAIDER DAMUNI: It's fun, you get opportunities to go and do fun things, go to Disney World, come over here, Universal Studios and stuff like that. But at the same time it's a business trip as well. We still have that aspect of everything.

It's been fun to have a little bit of, I guess, you could say, reward for the season. But it's still a high expectation as well for us to perform.

Q. When you're preparing for a Bowl, how much time are you able to spend analyzing the other team? How does it compare?

RAIDER DAMUNI: Once we found out we were playing Georgia Tech, it started from that day. I think that was the day after we played in the Big 12 Championship and then from that point on, we've been practicing, prepping for them throughout the week, and it's been great.

Q. People talk about the brotherhood, especially for seniors, the last game, have you felt that from your teammates?

RAIDER DAMUNI: Oh, yeah, those playing in their last game, it's also time for us to get our last good-byes, and we get to do it over here in such a great location at a great Bowl game.

It's been fun and we're looking forward to playing with them. We just want to play for them and play hard for them so that we can come out with a win.
