I'm excited about having the opportunity for the young kids to go up and play at the NHL level. Which is something that we missed last year that was part of the the minor-league experience. If you work and play well, you get an opportunity to go up. |
I'm glad we had the year off. They forget. And this is a new team. They appreciate, I think, the way we play. And we appreciate them. If we're going to do something this season, we need the fans. When you see they're excited, there's nothing better. |
I'm going to miss that broadcast, but I'm not going to miss not getting home until 11 p.m., ... I just don't have the hours of the day to take care of my research and getting those (broadcasts) out and devoting the necessary research to the station. |
I'm impressed with what they've been doing. But I think the experience still is unsatisfactory. It's a little like the proverbial dancing dog it's impressive that it can dance, but if you want a real dancing partner, you have to look somewhere else. |
I'm just glad this day is over. This is almost like a wakeup call. I had never been put on my back all season long until (yesterday). I know I can wrestle a lot better than I did, and I'm going to go out there (today) and wrestle the way I know how. |
I'm just one of those people that is more focused on going out there, doing my job and trying to contribute the way I need to contribute to win the game. At the end of the day, we knew we had a job to do, and that was go out there and win that game. |
I'm just trying to play hard. I'm not quitting at all. Maybe if I can set an example for these younger guys about how to go about things, then hopefully that will rub off on them and I'll have set my mark on Purdue basketball for the upcoming years. |
I'm not disappointed in our season. We had a great season. I'm highly disappointed in our effort tonight. We had no energy. If we get beat by a better team, we get beat. But we had no life. It wasn't after that 10-0 run that we started to play hard. |
I'm not in any rush. There's two programs floating around, one is [to] lay low, the longer you take the stronger you'll get. The other is pretty much the same, basically to take things slow and let how things go decide [when he will play in a game]. |
I'm not prone (to injuries) at all. I had an unfortunate injury and I was surgically repaired. I chose to come back maybe a month too soon. Now it's feeling a lot better. The point I'm at now is a little better than it was when I returned last year. |

I'm not the type of administrator to call and beg people to let me into something. You earn it and you deal with it. Obviously I'm going to call the NIT people but it won't be to beg, it will be to make a point that I need to make about our program. |
I'm pretty far along, but I still got a long way to go. Coach says I have to take it in steps and it's something I'm learning to do every day, just come in and pay attention more and more to details, the little things I can do to make myself better. |
I'm pretty sure people are getting tired of hearing (everyone) say, 'LT hasn't caught any passes' or whatever, ... It's definitely in the game plan, and that's going to be something we try to do this week -- make sure I touch the ball in open space. |
