I've been here 13 years, and we haven't come close to that kind of start. I'm really proud of the kids. We could've panicked, but they got their composure back. The bottom line was we settled down and came through. I'm just very happy for the kids. |
I've been on the air continuously at NBC for 21 years. So this is an extraordinarily long relationship, and it's like a very long-term marriage. I mean, there are stresses and strains intermittently, but we're kind of stuck with each other forever. |
I've been thrown into a situation where nothing is written in stone and I have to fight for chances to play. Joe [Torre] hasn't given up on me. I don't want this to be a one-game performance, but hopefully, to carry it through the rest of the year. |
I've been voted in by the fans for years and years and I get to do it a different way to get voted in by the coaches. That makes me feel good. It makes me think the coaches appreciate what I bring to the table night in and night out this past year. |
I've found that when you roll up your sleeves and join people in their daily work, they tend to open up quite a bit and let you know what they really think about the issues facing our country and what kind of job they think the government is doing. |
I've got a few bumps and bruises, but I'm confident that with treatment and a little bit of rest, I'll be able to go. It's one of those things where when you get warmed up and get some treatment, you can go. I just hope I don't get hit there again. |
I've got a lot of mixed emotions. Seven years is a long time to be with one team. I've got nothing but great things to say about Minnesota fans. The team gave me a great opportunity. But both parties apparently thought it was time to make a change. |
I've had confidence we were going to be better, but I didn't know who to play. I think you get sensitive trying to find out who's going to get minutes each night and you stop coaching. A lot of guys have contributed and are playing at a high level. |
I've had Jimmy for the last five years hitting behind me, and I know he's going to click on and drive me in, so there's no need for me to put pressure on myself or chase a ball out of the strike zone, ... Believe me, he's getting hot, so watch out. |
I've loved March Madness since I was in elementary school. Basketball is a team game, and whatever team plays best that night deserves to win. That's the beauty of college basketball. You look around the country and see underdogs beating top teams. |
I've never had the type of boat speed I had this week. The boat was set up very well and Brian kept us in the right spot on the course. We just had that little notch of speed, that tiny fraction of height, that enabled us to get out of tough spots. |
I've never seen that in college. It opens up so many things. Anybody can start their offense. It takes a lot of pressure off of you. You have the confidence that everybody is not focusing just on you because they have to worry about your teammates. |
I've seen the most dramatic change you can imagine in the past three years. Fly 30 miles in any direction in the Rocky Mountain West, and you see oil and gas drilling rigs and wells and the network of roads that accompany them. It's out of control. |
I've talked to my players about this since the beginning of the season. They've done a great job of listening and following what I preach. I also learned that if you can get you players to be mentally tough they can take on any challenge they want. |
