Brings Quotes
I think Tom brings an understanding of what the mental game's all about. How focused, how tough you have to be in the day-in, day-out grind of the academics, the athletics and of the social choices that you make. I like Jimmy, but they don't fight the way I remember guys fought when I was there.

Basketball Quotes
I think they're treading on sacred ground. It's just not a football thing, either. You have girls' basketball going on, cross country, golf and soccer. Communities celebrate that, especially in the smaller ones. There's no room for college athletics Monday through Thursday. I know where (fans') loyalties will lie. They'll lie with the younger kids.

Against Quotes
Our athletics department has been real good in terms of being able to get us into or to hold events in which we can compete against some of the better teams. It gives the kids a chance to get a real good look at what's out there, the kind of times and the kind of dives other people are doing.

Confidence Quotes
I was this shy, introverted kid and through the game and through athletics I was able to gain a lot more confidence and express myself on the field. It is about enjoying themselves and that's what I could tell about all of these girls. They played hard, respected the game and just had fun doing it.

Adds Quotes
I think the thing (about) her is discipline; to be able to combine athletics and her academics, she's very serious about everything she does but she's also able to enjoy life as well. She has good sprint speed, she's very smart and she has a lot of guts. All that adds up to a good 400 runner.

Age And Aging Quotes
We need to understand that children start following athletics at the age of nine or ten. These beer ads are highly appealing to them. When beer companies say their ads aren't directed at young people, I find it hard to believe. Do you think the kids don't like the lizards on the Budweiser spots?

Bit Quotes
We laugh every year about the big S-word. I always think that there isn't anything more fundamental in industry, in athletics and surely in school communities as synergism. We're all feeling a bit of excitement with this group because measured by traditional standards, most people aren't going to have any expectations for us at all. Inside of our camp, we have real high expectations.
