Tom Hansen People Quotations

We're going to start pressing a lot of it this week ... assuming people are willing to talk.

We would probably hurt more people than we would help with this legislation.

Going out meeting the people. The people of this county want to go kick the tires, meet the candidates, see, and find out their views.

The idea is to try to get relationships developed because it's my thought that when an athletic director has to hire a major coach, he doesn't have time to really start meeting people. There's the statement made that ADs hire people they know. Well, it's true. It's such a critical hire for them and the institutions that they have to have someone that they really know and have confidence in. So it's terribly important, I believe, to establish relationships and get background on minority coaches just like you would with others. So we took some extra effort to make sure that occurs.

It's a whole lot of pressure, ... You've got so many people expecting so much out of you. I was so nervous before the Lodi game.

I keep telling them I'm glad they weren't around about 230 years ago when this country was being founded. People have to get informed and become involved, no matter who you are. All ideas start with just one person.

I've talked to some of these convenience stores that do like this touch play because they say it brings income into their stores. Again, if there were more people living out in the country, they wouldn't need these touch play machines because there would be more people in their stores buying things.
