Our pitching has been solid the past two weekends against Central Michigan and Northern Iowa and a strong outing from Luke would really keep the ball rolling. It seems that some of our early season problems we had on the mound, both with our starters and in the bullpen, have been corrected and our staff is very different from when Iowa saw us last.

We have to learn how to play with the lead, and the Iowa game was a case in point where we didn't play with the lead. (The players) came into our huddle, we were up 15-4, and they really believed (Iowa) was tired. It was good: 'Let's get 'em now coach, let's do this, let's do that.' But I think they took that to another level and they started taking shots too early.

Hillary Clinton is campaigning in Iowa, virtually going door to door to every home in Iowa. Jehovah's Witnesses finally got fed up and said, 'Get lost. Get out of here!'

I'd like to schedule my media attention on the day after the Iowa caucuses. He should enjoy the attention while it lasts.

I could sense it on the sidelines. After the game, I just kind of stood there and soaked it all in instead of taking part in it because that's what Iowa football felt like. That's what we've been missing the past five games.

I'd be a liar if I sat here and told you this isn't what I've worked my whole career for. There is no place I wanted to coach other than Iowa. I was late for some things as a kid, but I was never late for Iowa public television broadcasts of Iowa wrestling.

I came to speak with President Carter over a year and a half ago, because he did what I hope to do in Iowa tomorrow night, ... I really appreciate the lesson you have given, the path you have blazed.

I am . . . excited to return to Ames. Iowa State University has been great to my family.

I am confident there will be a show in Iowa City next year. There could possibly be two shows, with one in Des Moines as well.

I think the paparazzi is a necessary evil... and if ya don't like it, and ya don't want to do this, go to Iowa and do some community theatre. It's all about self-promotion, and it's not always the fun part of it.
