"So, last year the supernovas, I thought was a really put together, well organized team. I love the fan base as well and I just kind of was looking from the outside in. I was like wow, it would be really cool to kind of go back home and home in a sense I call it home because I once played here but just to do that and like be a part of them. I was really excited when bird called me on the first day that the kind of portal opened." [1:09 onward]
