I feel like if they want us to dress a certain way, they should pay for our clothes. It's just tough, man, knowing that all of a sudden you have to have a dress code out of nowhere. I don't think that's going to help the image of the league at all. ... It kind of makes it fake. The whole thing is fake. |
I feel the same way now as I felt when I first got here. It's not just about me, it's the whole team. I'm ready to play, do what I have to do, rebound, block shots. I'm ready to be myself. I just look at this tournament as another season for us. I've played a lot of games already, so I'm ready to play. |
I feel we complement each other well, for the simple fact that he's a ball hawk, and that's something I want to do more of. I can do that. But I'm known for being a run-stuffer and a big hitter, so he can help me. I look forward to working together with him, as well as the great corners on the outside. |
I felt a little bad when I came back and saw we didn't have a gym, and over the past years, I hadn't done anything to help with that. I was kind of away for a while, and I haven't been giving back. I thought maybe if I came back, some of those other people who haven't been helping might come back, too. |
I find myself very lucky to have this job, and I just want to go out and do it. Coaching in the ACC is privilege, and I've tried not to look at it as a hardship. This is a talented basketball team we have. We shouldn't be 3-8, but we are. We've got to try to do something about it here down the stretch. |
I get asked that quite often. What I tell everybody is, although racing is a sport, companies engage in motor sports for business reasons. At GM, all our racing programs give us tremendous marketing value. It's a very cost-effective way to put our products and brands in front of automotive enthusiasts. |
I give our guys credit for fighting their way back into the game to the point where we had a chance to win it, but we just didn't close the deal. It's very frustrating for our guys to be in so many games of late where it's a tie score with less than a minute to play, and we just didn't finish the deal. |

I hate to see Javier come off, but it created a perfect scenario for me. There was more speed, more of a 'rabbit', and it put me in a great spot. Everyone was trying to figure out what he (Disco's Son) was doing, and it put me in the catbird seat. Even though I was losing ground, I was in a great spot. |
I have a hard time letting go of it. I don't know if you noticed, I'm still a little cynical. I hurt for them, because I wanted them to go out on a different note. But you know, now we've got an opportunity again to play on our home floor in front of our home fans who have been tremendously supportive. |
I have a lot of respect for Senator Frist. We disagree with him on one issue, but it's a big issue. . . . I would not write him off; I would just say it will be very difficult to get support from the pro-life community. This is a big issue to disagree on, [but] it certainly does not end our friendship. |
I have an appreciation for what Young and Rice did as a tandem. They threw a lot of touchdowns, but those touchdowns were helping the team win football games. That's what Marvin and I are about. He and I have definitely done some things together, but it's all come along with helping our team win games. |
I have been feeling unwell for almost a week now and have been struggling during practice, ... I consulted with my doctor and took the decision [Thursday] morning to pull out. My doctor felt that if I continued to practice and play, I would make myself worse and risk being sidelined two-to-three weeks. |
I haven't played a lot of matches, so I'm just trying to get used to the conditions, the stadium, the wind, playing under the lights for the first time in a while. When you're out for a little while, first match you're a little tentative. The injury, you don't know how it's going to be. So far it's OK. |
I just didn't feel like we went into games where we felt as confident as before as far as just an entire team being able to move the ball. ... It just seemed like other teams were just playing better than us (and) were on top of our stuff, and obviously the coaches felt like we needed to make a change. |
