I'm extremely happy for both of them. Roberto had a tremendous experience last year. It's an experience you can't understand until you're involved and have USA on your hat. It's a great opportunity for both of them. And it's a tremendous honor for our program to have two players on this team. |
I'm happy to be 2-0 right now. I don't think to myself we need to be 10-0 or 9-1 or 8-2 or 7-3 to have a successful season. The players that we have currently are the kids that decided to make this program better. We're all happy where we are right now. All of the kids have been working hard. |
I'm looking forward to playing in a game like this, and being that it's in my hometown, that makes it even better. We just have to go there and win it now. You don't want to go all this way and lose because I heard it feels worse to lose in this game than it does if you didn't make it at all. |
I'm looking forward to spearheading this ball club to back to some of the days when the Pittsburgh Pirates were somebody you really had to deal with. I'm very anxious in making the players understand there is history here - history for them to be proud of and history for them to follow up on. |
I'm not sure how much water is in that, but you never know. For their style of offense and my style of play, I think it fits. I'm never going to be 350 pounds and be able to dominate someone. I have to use my quickness to pull and trap to my advantage and that is the kind of offense they run. |
I'm not trying to prove a point. I'm not trying to prove anything. I just want to get it out of my system and I think I have the opportunity with a filly like that. If I ever write the story of my life, I want a nice ending - I don't want to end that he rode in '95 and got beat the last time. |
I'm playing devil's advocate here, (but) if everybody waits around, there may not be a next time. If we don't get much support on this one here, (promoters Bob Arum and Gary Shaw) may feel like the potential for the rescheduled event might be damaged, that some luster may have been taken off. |
I'm probably not looking at a five-year plan, but I'll look at it year to year and if I'm having fun and if I'm contributing at the level I expect, then I'll keep playing. But I also have family considerations that weigh much more importantly in my career now than they did say five years ago. |
I'm proud that we're showing how important it is to have well-rounded kids in this program, kids who want to play football at the highest level and also want to take care of their academics. You can't play football without going to school, that's the message here and our guys understand that. |
I'm really happy with the way we came out and moved the ball today. We wanted to come out and be more aggressive today. I thought we did a good job of that. But our special teams was good. Our offense was good. And the defense was good. We play like that, and we have a chance to beat anybody. |
I'm shocked by this, to be honest. The past four games, we had been doing some positive things and winning close games and building momentum. So to play like this today is definitely a surprise. But the only thing we can do is put it behind us and get started looking forward to Florida State. |
I'm sorry to say that the BEEHLER band is no longer together. Dan did not want to pursue that project anymore, much to our dismay. Sean Brophy and I, however, have started a new band and we'll keep [everyone] updated on that as it goes along. It's not easy finding musicians of a high caliber. |
I'm still trying to get them to come up and stay with me, but they won't, ... It's home, their roots, their whole lives. It's kind of hard for me knowing that this has happened and my parents won't leave and there's nothing I can do to get my people up here. It's hurtful every day, stressful. |
Bill Bradley (1943-) |
I'm sure his intent was to validate to himself that by coming back he was doing the right thing for himself, his family, the Packers and the fans. I'm sure he wanted to make with total certainty a commitment to the team physically, mentally, and emotionally. How can you question that process? |
