Rob Davis Quotations

What this is all about is getting a taste of success. It doesn't matter who you beat, once you know what it takes to win, you'll work harder and that opens up other opportunities.

We were hoping to have a working model on display, instead we have simulations.

She didn't just sit back and be a victim. She was actively thinking all of the time about what was going on around her, clearly details about a residence, thinking of ways that she could remember things.

She kept her head about her, she kept her wits about her, she was observant, she paid attention, she thought on her feet as things were going along,

If someone had suggested investing in commodities five years ago it would have made a great deal of economic sense.

He was always pleasant and polite - 'Yes sir, yes ma'am' - but he had that short fuse, ... As he got older, he eventually came to the realization that even though he wasn't the one responsible for where he was (in trouble and in foster care), he was the one who was going to have to (rise above it).

He made some huge hits. He can knock people off their feet.

He deserved it. It was us showing him our respect. It was the same amount of respect that he had showed us.

Our first goal was to be 1-0. We've never been 1-0 before, so that was an important step. It was a bit of a sloppy win. But it's a win. If anything, we sowed we can compete against a Group IV school.

Mike has a lot of fans in here. This team has grown to love Mike. Some of us have been with him since he was an assistant here.

We don't mind playing against teams that are bigger. Our kids are getting better all the time and they're going to try to outwork teams. We'll take a couple of days off to rest and then work on fine-tuning some things in preparation for our next game. Today, on a 1-to-10 scale, we were a 5 1/2. On Monday, we're going to be better.

This will be a gauge of our progress.

We have to clean up our continuity and get stronger each week. We had two big plays for touchdowns called back. So once we get those little things -- correctable things -- straightened out, we'll be all right. As everybody saw today, when the run isn't working for us, we can throw the ball. And I don't need a reason to throw, believe me. We have the kids who can do it.

The play on the field will be as physical -- probably the most physical game on the field for the both of us.

We think the comments we are getting back indicate we can have a finished spec and signed license within two weeks.

Emotions run high in this game, so it is what it is. He made a great play and I'm sure the fans were on him pretty good up until that point, and so it was a knee jerk reaction, and it didn't bother me one bit.

There's not a player or a team in the NFL I hate. Do I want to beat everyone I play? Absolutely. But at the end of the game, you shake hands and someone is victorious. When you talk about love, hate and so forth, that's more for the fans than it is for the players.

I've been around this thing a long time and nothing surprises me. Let me say this: You can't believe everything you read. None of us were on that boat. Do you feel sorry about the situation? Absolutely, because to a certain extent, we're all grouped together as professional athletes.

A lot of schools are interested in him because of his speed and strength. He could have gotten a lot more yards Friday, but we didn't want to show too much.

It's a total community effort here. All the windows on Friday are painted around town. The crowds are very loud. I don't know how many moms have cowbells around here, but I still can hear it in my ears when I come home Fridays.

That's a big-time no-no. Big-time. Really, really bad.

It's amazing how hard these kids can work day in and day out. They are starting to believe in themselves.

They want it. I know the kids want it. This is progress, but the kids want the playoffs.

That's always been available in the past, but it was never utilized. They have something to play for now, and that's making them better students and better people in the community. The teachers tell me these are the most behaved and well-mannered group of boys they have seen in years.

I'm glad I live here hearing that. They've just really done a lot -- giving us entertainment, to give us nice restaurants, you know, clean streets. The schools are great. It's a fun little town to live in.

I'm paid to be perfect. And on that play I wasn't perfect, and B.J. wasn't able to bail me out. I prayed the whole game that point wouldn't come back to bite us, and it did. I totally take responsibility for that.

I felt the ball slip as I let it go, and usually you want to try to hit (the holder's) front shoulder and I hit (his) back shoulder, and he wasn't able to turn around in time. That's a 1.2-second play, and if anything's off, bad things happen.
