Ad Quotes
It's not a hump, it's a mountain. My AD knows. My fans know where we were when I took this job. My first year, we lost 11 in a row and I didn't know if we were ever going to win a game. My third year we were 3-3, and I wasn't sure I would keep my job. We lost at home to Kansas State and ever since then it has been a tremendous run to get where we are today. We accomplished something we haven't in 23 years, we won a championship.

Agency Quotes
I?m catching a lot of hell is what I?m catching. It has been difficult for us to not meet our expectations this year. We had a good draft last year and the year before. Unrestricted free agency was good to us last year. We are optimistic because we think we have cap room. I think the draft will be good for us this year. Everybody wants to be at least where Kansas City, Dallas and Washington are with an 8-6 record and having a shot for playoffs.

Business Quotes

Abandoned Quotes
If you have that kind of intimacy alongside ambition, ultimately it's going to leave an incredibly tragic impression on his psyche and spirit. He paid a huge price to write one of the great books of the 20th century. Capote didn't go to Kansas. Kansas reached out to New York and grabbed Capote. The minute he met Perry Smith, it was inevitable that these two men were going to die, one literally and one figuratively, because the identification they shared was too deep. The minute he got Perry to open up about his own life, and he learned they were both orphans, they were both abandoned children, he sees his muse, and that's the beginning of the end. Kansas sprung a trap on him.

Attract Quotes
If you look at NASCAR like it's a consumer product, you always talk about national distribution. Literally within the last dozen years or so, NASCAR has come to L.A., Chicago, Detroit, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Miami and New Hampshire. The objective of that plan was to bring in new fans and attract more people to the sport, to market to the widest possible audience.

Alcohol Quotes
In 2005, 63 percent of Kansas students in grades eight through 12 reported having consumed alcohol in their lives. That's an eye-opening statistic that illustrates how pervasive underage drinking is throughout our state. The tip line is a way for every Kansas resident to help combat this threat, which for too long has been kept out of sight.

Attempt Quotes
It has been the experience of other states that eradication has not been effective and is not practical, so Kansas at this point does not have any plans to even attempt eradication. If you see a hive, you can kill a hive, but to think you can exclude a pest like this from this state is impractical.

Along Quotes
Being in the same conference, you know their work up front and what they've done in the past weighs heavily with me. I've known them and I'm comfortable with them.

Photography Quotes
One of my oldest friends from Kansas, his sister was married to Ben [Folds] and wrote lyrics on his first couple of albums. I got to meet him the first time I saw them in concert at The Bottleneck, a great bar in Lawrence, Kansas. Then, he was the musical guest my first or second week as a writer on SNL. I was like, "I don't know if you remember me?" And he was like, "Oh my god, yeah!" He's a big photography fan, as am I.

Rivers Quotes
It will be just as easy for nations to get along in a republic of the world as it is for you to get along in the republic of the United States. Now when Kansas and Colorado have a quarrel over the water in the Arkansas river they don't call out the national guard in each state and go to war over it. They bring suit in the Supreme Court of the United States and abide by the decision. There isn't a reason in the world why we can't do that internationally.

Sprung Up Quotes
There is this incredible, indelible community that has sprung up around the show, a community that gathers in homes and clubs, from Los Angeles to Topeka, Kansas and around the world. A community that, in some places, meets quietly in a lesbian bar that doesn't even exist depending on whom you ask.

Winning Quotes

City Quotes
The idea here is that those people won't have far to go to come visit the prisons museum. Frankly, we were a little stunned when we started putting those numbers together and started realizing the potential of this particular area. That in itself, we think, is a fabulous thing.

Race Quotes
First thing that always pops into my head regarding our president is that all of the people who are setting up this barrier for him … they just conveniently forget that Barack had a mama, and she was white — very white American, Kansas, middle of America. There was no argument about who he is or what he is. America’s first black president hasn’t arisen yet. He’s not America’s first black president — he’s America’s first mixed-race president.

Affecting Quotes
The construction industry and transportation sector in Kansas have pushed 2005 growth into the very strong range.

Leaders And Leadership Quotes
America's working families have to be wondering why union leaders are spending member dues on a conference in Kansas City attacking a company where union members shop to save time and money.
