Penn Quotations
Penn Quotes from:
-
Advantages Quotes
One of the advantages of having gone to Penn State was having had a scholar for a mentor - Philip Young. Also, a professional writer named Philip Klass taught there. He was a science fiction writer whose pseudonym was William Tenn. As a professional writer, he brought wisdom to teaching because he'd done it for a living.
-
Agent Quotes
I heard about the project over a year before we began. My American agent said, 'Oh, you might want to read 'In Cold Blood' because they're talking about you for Capote, but the script's with Johnny Depp and Sean Penn at the moment.' So, these things take their time to dribble down the food chain.
-
Card Quotes
My first 'Daily Show' piece was pretending I had this terrible immigrant journey, so I went to talk to an immigration lawyer who would help out people, and I ran into him in Penn Station about three months after I'd gotten the green card. I said, 'I got my green card yesterday.' And he hugged me because he understood that level of relief.
-
Bunch Quotes
Mostly I want to talk positive; I wanna talk about a bunch of great kids that I coached and made me look good and the university that I've seen grow from a cow college, which it was, only 12,000 people, and when I came here, we weren't at Pennsylvania State University, we were at Penn State College.
-
Academic Quotes
We are pleased with the consistently high level of academic achievement by our student-athletes. Penn State strongly encourages and endorses Academic Progress Reporting and other forms of protecting the interest of the student-athlete earning a meaningful education. We recognize that currently some institutions are slightly penalized for reporting at a higher standard, but we will not compromise that standard.
-
Amount Quotes
We won't have the big gate for conference games that we had with, say, a Penn Hills or a Woodland Hills. That is a big concern. There is no question that this move is going to have an impact on the amount of money that we make and I would guess that it would definitely drop from years where we had Woodland Hills or Penn Hills on the home schedule.
-
Fathers Quotes
Sean Penn is a left-wing guy, ... He's been that way, his father was that way, he's always going to be that way. He goes down to New Orleans with his boat, he rescues some people, and he does some good. The right kills him, and his wife curses at the right - it's all just a whole big charade. It doesn't really mean anything other than the fact that the guy did actually rescue some people.
-
Addition Quotes
One big advantage to Penn is that it is the Big 5 and how special and unique Big 5 affiliation is. There is nothing like it in the country, so in addition to coaching at an institution such as Penn and playing and competing in the Ivy League, you always have an opportunity to compete and play against Big 5 institutions and be a part of a very special tradition of basketball.
-
Assistant Quotes
My favorites are probably some pictures of Coach Mac (former LSU football coach Charlie McClendon) at different events, ... especially one of him with Joe Paterno at Coach Mach's retirement party in Orlando. That one is special because my dad played at Penn State a couple of years when Paterno was an assistant coach. Paterno was my dad's hero at Penn State.
-
Advanced Quotes
No players on this team have ever won a playoff game, ... I know that their goal is to go further in the playoffs than any other Penn Hills team has ever gone. The seniors can say that they've made the playoffs. They can say that they've won a section championship. But none of them can say that they've advanced in the playoffs. I think that is their biggest goal this year.
-
Extremely Quotes
Naturally, when you lose a sectional game, that hurts, but as far as the season's concerned, our seniors did extremely well. It's an outstanding season. We got three of the four pieces of gold we've spoken about, plus we gave Penn their only loss at their place. Nineteen and four, nothing wrong with that.
-
Ambitious Quotes
I am excited to be able to congratulate the men and women who have worked hard over this past year and demonstrated the outstanding work that Greeks do at Penn State. We are hopeful that these chapters will be pioneers and role models as we move forward with our ambitious plans for enhancing the Greek experience at Penn State.
-
Blow Quotes
I felt like we were looking at a team that might, could blow us out; we don't want another Colorado-Texas ballgame. What did you learn? ... We're playing Penn State, No. 3 in the nation. Now if we can hang with those guys, maybe we got the material to get back on up there where we belong.

Across Quotes
I was a handyman in an office building across from Penn Station for two entire summers while I was still in school and the summer after. I had to wear a big, gray jumpsuit kind of thing that had the name of the company in a big patch on my chest, and I was sent to fix things and didn't know what I was doing.
-
Bit Quotes
I think it was a good week for us. We accomplished a lot with some of the practice we had in the off week. We're trying to improve our execution and do the little things a little bit better. ... We think we can correct some of the problems we faced in the heartbreaking loss to Penn State.
-
Afraid Quotes
I support the troops. This is tough time right now. I think a lot of people in our industry are afraid to speak out. I had a drink with Sean Penn the other night. He went over to baghdad in December just to see for himself what was going on. And that guy is as American as anybody I ever met.
-
Asked Quotes
I saw him after the game today and I just said hello to him and asked him how he has been doing, ... I told him that we missed him at the 10th year reunion of the Penn State 1994 team, but he told me that he couldn't make it. With five kids, I guess that keeps him pretty busy. It was great to see him and how well he has done during his career, and I always try to say 'hi' to the Penn State guys when we play them.
-
Ball Quotes
Penn State's defense was good; I think we had opportunities that we weren't willing to take half chances. I've got young players right now that want every goal to be a World Cup-quality goal. A toe poke counts just as much as a bicycle kick so we have to take chances and shoot the ball more.
