McDaniel said:

With the advent and heavy push of social media, I think it's really hard to ignore the noise, so to speak, or not hear it. I think you're going to hear it ... I thought this is a big win for this team, because it's always big when you do something that internally you know that you're capable of, and when it comes to fruition, it's pretty satisfying.
