Dennis Murphy Quotations

With the modifications that we have made -- including four separate barriers to keep ash and water inside -- this kind of leak cannot happen again.

The educated horse is a thinking horse, and it seems that he understands every now and then something happens that he must chalk up as a mistake and be done with it.

We decided it was just too damn hot in here to stand around, so let?s go play.

If we get there, we give ourselves a chance. We got there, so now we have a chance.

He gets up and down the floor well, will post you up inside and will also go out and shoot the 3. There?s no question he?s their best player and we?re going to have to know where he is at all times.

He wants to find out what the environment is like for his recruits. He wants to observe the city and the school a kid grows up in, meet his coach and teachers and really get a clear picture of what a kid is all about.

I think we are cautiously optimistic, wait and see.

Kyle is a complete player. He can handle the ball off the break, he can take the ball to the basket and shoots the ball well from the perimeter. But the thing that sets him apart is how unselfish he is. If he has the ball and you?re open, he will get it to you.

We practiced against six guys all week, but you can?t simulate their speed. So we knew we were going to have turnovers. But, we wanted to defend well and get the ball in the paint and we did that really well.

We're trying not to complain too much, but we're in a difficult spot because we're essentially creating two plans and wasting time on one of them. But we just don't feel like we can wait until the last minute to put things in place. It's tough when you don't know what's going to happen.

We thought it was important to come out and not get behind like we did the last two games.

Both those kids are two kids who really accepted their roles well and at times often sacrificed some scoring to give us what they could on the defensive end. I was really pleased to see them get recognized for their hard work.

The good thing about this group is that in prior years we have been No. 1, but I felt it was given to us by default. People above us lost and we didn't. But with this team, people around the state have watched us and feel that we are a legitimate contender to win this thing.

We tried to find a place in Great Falls, but Belgrade didn't want to play there and we agreed on Cascade. We were very pleased with the Cascade gym. In fact, they may see a few more challenge games played here.

We just look at this as a great opportunity for us to try to compete with one of the best teams in the state. Jefferson?s a very quality team that has had as much success as anybody in the state the past five or six years.

There's not a person I know who doesn't like him.

These coal-fired generators now can be used in conjunction with our other units at this site, fueled by oil and natural gas, to help meet the heavy electricity demand this winter.

Offensively he is shooting the ball better, and that has helped us tremendously. He is bigger and stronger and smarter and faster, and what we have seen this year is his ability to handle the ball and pass the ball. It's remarkable. He is a very good player and he is becoming better.

Against the better posts in the state, he?s really done a good job on them. He?s won every one of the battles, he really has.

As he walked through the hallways he said, ?I can tell this is a special place,? ... He felt there was a lot of passion and caring and enthusiasm from the teachers and staff.

The weather we have had the last few days has changed things a lot.

The renewal of production tax credits has spurred a significant re-energizing of wind as a power option. Around the world, and certainly in the U.S., a number of our customers have had a great deal of interest in wind.

They really get after you with their first surge defensively. If you can handle that first wave efficiently, I think you give yourself an opportunity at the other end.

It looks like as you go east and north from here it gets better.

They have to know who the people are who they're hiring.

The kids played hard, and we had a great season. It is tough to come up short, but somebody has to.

I'd say those guys up north 280 miles off the lake are probably the favorite. They played for the title a year ago, and people forget that we have not won our quarterfinal game very often, so we have to make sure we get that done.

He really likes the way Kyle passes the ball and also his ability to bring the ball up for the floor.
