It's always been a dream for me to play in the Pac-10, and I'm happy that it's happened. Now we can move on. I'm just ready to play someone new besides our own defense. ... I really don't see [starting] as a big deal. It's more about going out there as a team, and I need to hold up my end of the bargain. |
It's an amazing feeling. It's the best I've played in a long, long time. I really felt comfortable out there on the court and I had a game plan which I stuck to very well throughout the match. Even if I had lost today, I would have been happy as I was disciplined out there and stuck to my game plan well. |
It's been interesting and difficult. He was a close friend, an extraordinary man and a wonderful person. Trying to talk about and think about dealing with a fictional character's death and at the same time knowing the reason you're doing it is because a close friend of yours has died is really difficult. |
It's been such a long time, and yet I still don't know what to say. All the people that still believed in me, after seven years – it's a long time. Not only myself, but people who're working with me, believed me and pushed me, even when I was down. Maybe we found the way, maybe we'll try to keep going. |
It's been two years and four months and I can't tell you what she looks like. I couldn't tell you if she's tall. I couldn't tell you if she's short, if she's fat, if she's thin. I couldn't tell you if her hair is still red and what scares me the most is that I might walk right past her and not even know. |
It's certainly a bonus, certainly not something I was expecting. Obviously everybody wants to go over there and play. It's great to be included and it's special to even be named to the team, but to get a chance to go over there and play, I'm a lot more excited now. It's going to be a lot of fun for sure. |
It's crazy. I kind of felt bad having it. It's a strange situation. On Friday, I heard that Andy would play in the qualifying tournament. If somebody had approached me (about withdrawing), I would have given it consideration, but at the same time I've been working so hard and I was excited about playing. |
It's dreadful for the staff as well, ... I am furious about everything. Incandescent. We don't want to do Sherwood out of any money, but we wouldn't sell Harry's Bar for any amount. We want him to carry on as it has always been, but now he won't even return our calls. I'm trying to be political about it. |
It's going to change things, scheme-wise and in my approach to the game, ... Obviously, when you (have) a Pro Bowl left tackle, when you have a guy of that caliber playing on your left side, you just kind of put him over there and forget about it. You just rely on him to handle whoever is rushing on him. |
It's good for our players, too. I think it's important to be able to give back to some of these kid that are less privileged. I think it's a gut check for them to realize how fortunate they are and what they have and be able to bond and get to meet some of the kids in San Diego who aren't quite so lucky. |
It's helpful for us, as policymakers, to have as good a clear a view of what living conditions are and what the demographics of our country are in a fast-changing world, ... Whether there are questions which are too invasive, I am not prepared to make that judgment today. I know a lot of people think so. |
It's just disappointing. I don't really have good answers. ... Maybe I will (feel good about what the team has done) at the end of the year. I don't feel good right now. The quality of our play hasn't been good for two games in a row. That's my measuring stick. You focus on the quality and the wins come. |

It's like when you graduate high school and go off in the world. You miss your family, but you know it's time to go off and try new things. But it's really a bittersweet thing. When we left home, we made sure it was on good terms - so it would be a place we could go back to, should the journey end badly. |
It's mostly to emphasize that we're all on the same side, ... The university's faculty-elected representatives in the senate have a voice and have a responsibility to help guide the directions of the university. Everyone should know that the decisions that are made are not made in some smoke-filled room. |
