Mike Jensen Quotations

Whenever you have something like that on your body, you just feel a little irregular. It'll be nice to feel regular.

We're happy to have the lemons turn into lemonade after all in this case. The decision to sell was bittersweet, but this was the right thing to do for business, for the tenant, and for the community.

One time he was yelling at his teammates, 'Pass me the ball. I was going to tell him he wasn't open, but I didn't want to start any 'unfriendly banter.' I was just doing my thing, trying to keep him from catching the ball. There were times he was frustrated, but that's the way college basketball goes.

He has always had that rep as a physical player and they will kind of let you be physical, and that was the story of the night. He tore the back of my jersey in the first half and I'm looking at the ref like, 'Did you see that?' And he's just like, 'What?' But you are on the road and you've got to play through it. We tried to come back, but there's not a whole lot you can do.

He's a great player, and he does a lot of great things, but you can be a great player when they let you get away with a lot. They let him get away with everything. One time, he put both hands on me and shoved me. He ripped my jersey in the first half.

He was kind of his own guy. It was like, 'He's from the ghetto, he's going to be this. He's going to be that.' But he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met.

I think we punched back so hard that I don't know if they were ready for that.

I think we're starting to peak at the right time.

Last year it was crazy. We all had never been there. This year is so much more exciting -- and we're getting to enjoy it more.

Just as a precaution. We don't believe that the substance poses an immediate threat to local residents. We haven't evacuated anyone.

My shot is probably the thing that's improved the most.

We've got one more coming up. Maybe it'll be even better.

We never gave up. They punched us in the mouth in the first half. We punched them back.

You learn that no matter what happens in the course of a game, getting hit in the mouth, punched in the face, no matter what happens you have to keep playing. I think really we just stopped playing in the second half and you can't do that now because every game could be your last, especially for us seniors. It could be our last ever.

We probably wouldn't make music anymore if we didn't do it this way. We'd tend to flow towards our regular lives and jobs.

We were able to shoot our way out of it and force them back into man. They were just falling so I kept shooting.

We can't shy away from the physical part of the game. Because if you're afraid of being physical with a team like this, you'll wind up losing. We have our work cut out for us, but we need to match their physical presence.

With so much personal history attached to the site, assuring that the property went to a good home and a good use was of utmost importance to Bill Sears.

We don't think their guards are really good at handling pressure. Our main thing is to try to put the pressure out there so they couldn't get the ball inside.

At the beginning of the year, I'm not sure how many people thought he'd do the stuff he's done for us. But he's really grown as a player and point guard. He's become one of the leaders on this team, even at such a young age. He's stepped up for us time after time in tough situations.

Concentrations of mercury can pose a hazard, especially is you move a quantity of it on, say, a shoe. If you then take that (mercury) into a confined space it could create some serious health risks, especially if it got into the water supply.

There's not many players in the whole nation doing that. We just wanted to let him know we had his back. We were going to try our best so he could shine. And he really shined.

The single solid rocket booster does look like a unique configuration and a little off balance.

Teams are looking and looking for ways to stop Brandon, and he's so good it's hard to stop him. I think you have to let him get what he gets.

People think we are going to lose in the first round? I don't think so.

It was easy to jump back in there. It was kind of fun having my name announced again. I'm used to it.

It's been a tough week. If it's not one thing, it's the other. Jon got me both times.

That's the definition of college sports. You're always going to be faced with challenges and adversity. It's how you handle it and what you do with those challenges that is going to define you as a person.

If I work hard and come back healthy, I'll be able to help my team out a lot.

I'll always remember that game. It was incredible going on a run like that.

In the first half, they took it to us. They sent a message. We came out like punks, and we knew we were as tough as them. We had to show it.

He said we're going to have to play a lot better than that. This wasn't our best game.

I came out of the game (late in the second half) and sat down and thought, 'Man, this is the last time I'm going to be here. So I might as well just leave it all out there. Then coach came up to me and said, 'Let's go. We need you right now.' So I decided from then on out, if I had to burn a hole in my shoes, I was not going to let (Augustine) touch the ball.

(The EPA scientists) actually have sophisticated monitoring equipment. They should be able to detect it and determine the extent of the possible contamination. Later today we should have a better idea of what we're dealing with.
