Tom Fisher Quotations

The potential is obviously great with the access to the freeway.

Some need the freeway exposure. It would be perfect for franchise food or office space. Somebody might even want to put in a car lot.

He's a veteran quarterback. I'm sure he'll be on top of his game.

I think this community should do more to preserve and honor his work, rather than letting it go and saying, 'It's too bad,' but not caring for it enough, ... That will be viewed by people outside our community as being rather negligent on our part, and I don't think that's particularly how Minnesota wants to be perceived.

Thank God. But that's our problem. Most of the kids on defense are also our offensive players. We'd like to eliminate that if possible as much as we can.

which could ultimately add millions of dollars to the value of the property.

We finally got our offense off the ground in the first half. ... We sat on the ball and didn't get much offense in the second half. Luckily our defense saddled up and we shut them out in the second half.

Tough defense and just enough offense. That's the simplest way I can put it.

We will also need lunches on Saturdays. I need to be in touch with churches in Worthington to see if they can help.

I've seen a lot of athletes come and go through here. Some of them were questionably as good as Bryan is. But they did not have the complete package - the academics, correct attitude and the ability. That's what it takes to get where he's gotten so far.

I've been around long enough to miss a lot of people. You get over it. You get over it and go on.

Opposing coaches would shake their head every time he would run one of their backs down. They just couldn't believe a 300-pound middle linebacker could do what he did.

They don't come around here that often. He's one of the rare four-year starters to ever play here. He's probably one of the best student-athletes talent-wise.

It's hard to get him the ball. I have to do a better job of trying to get him the ball more.

The water doesn't run off very well, so his jersey took a beating.

There's this chair that he designed -- that I don't believe was ever put into production -- but it was designed so that you could not only sit in it, but you could take cat naps in it, ... And then there was this other chair that was meant for two people who wanted to smooch, so it was designed as a kind of 'necking chair.' And I just thought 'Wow, these are great! Why does a chair have to be this thing you sit up straight in?'

There used to be several places on Government Way, and Third and Fourth streets. Now everything's sold.

I need to give him the ball a little more than I have. He's had some real good runs and impressive stats. His strength and his quickness makes up for his lack of size.

He's one of the best student-athletes to come through here in a long time. He's definitely up there.
