Mike Anderson Year Quotations

Mention those guys, that is comforting. That helps. Obviously, you like going into a year having your No. 1 pitcher back. And Dorn, last year we didn't talk much about him but had high expectations.

The operating results our company achieved in the fourth quarter and full calendar year were impressive.

It was very frustrating. I was itching to get back on the field, wanting to make a play. Hey, we're a team. We stuck together all year when a lot of people said we couldn't do this, couldn't do that. We fought all year. We win as a team, (Sunday) we lost as a team.

It's a good feeling. I haven't been able to do that since my rookie year and maybe then I didn't realize how important it was.

Honestly, it's a new year and we're focused on the now and not the past and you can't dwell on something like that. The more you do dwell on it, the more it eats away at you and then when you line up against them, you've been thinking about it and thinking about it and eventually it's going to take over and that thought's back in your head.

The flattering part of it is it seems like every year it takes place. That means our program is really progressing every year. To me, that's what it's all about. I'm the head coach here, and that's what I'm dealing with right now.
