Michael Bush Quotations

My foot feels a whole lot better and it will feel even better at game time with all the adrenaline. I want to show what I can do and help us win the game.

My family isn't struggling, for money, they're not struggling, period, so there was no need to rush it.

Right now, it's about getting our respect back. It's a shock, but if you stay upset about the loss, then everything we've got ahead of us is going to go right out the door with it.

He showed a lot of heart and was making plays.

He's good now; people don't know, ... He's as fast as I've seen in a while. I expect a lot of people are sleeping on him, but he's going to do some things to surprise you.

I think the ball will be all over the place this year, ... We have a lot more speed at the receiver spot. And Brian's getting everyone in the right position and right spot, he knows what's going on on the field, like a general.

I was a little surprised. You can't fault Kentucky. They came up with the big plays. They stuck it to us.

I see all them guys go, it makes the picture a little clearer. I felt I still could have came in with the best this year if I came out, but next year ain't going to be too many guys out there except for Adrian Peterson.

People here, they get a pair of socks, a new pair of underwear, and they cry. They start weeping over the simplest thing, that we take for granted, because they're absolutely devastated. They've lost everything, ... Being able to meet such a simple need and to see the gratitude on their faces is the greatest reward you can ever have.

Some guys might creep up on me, but right now it's just me and Adrian gunning for the one and two spot.

That was a lot of fun, ... We razzed each other pretty good. The more we do things with each other the more we find out we're a lot alike.

We came out with the attitude we always come out with, that we can score on anybody.

We see it as an option, it would most likely be a share-based transaction though.

Telstra is asking investors to accept the pain now with the promise of returns in the longer term. It's not surprising that's leading to credit-rating downgrades.

It's a big game for the school. It'll get a lot of recruits in. It kind of lets people know that we're trying to be one of the elite teams in the country, just like Virginia Tech is. I think this program can go all the way to the top. We're getting a lot of good players in and great coaches. I don't think we're too far off.

It's a blessing to be able to play college football and not guessing how fast you have to run in the 40 drills or whether you were good enough in the shuttle drills, having guys poking at you.

I've heard people say that, ... that there's another Bush besides Reggie.

Against Kentucky, we did a lot of basic things. Now, we've learned so much, I think we're ready to open up the playbook a little bit. You only saw a small portion.

I kind of fell short of what I wanted to do. I wanted to have 200 yards in the first game. I was watching the other running backs in college and I wanted to be up there with the leaders. That was a pretty good game for me, though.

I'm just real sore, ... I wasn't paying attention to how many carries I have. I'm glad they put it on my shoulders to do what I did.

I didn't think we were capable of so much and it was fun at times,
