Famous Quotes & Sayings

Thomas Brodie-Sangster

I struggle with reading a bit. I'm slightly dyslexic, so reading takes me quite a while, and in general, I'm not a big book reader at all. And something like 'Game of Thrones' seems very daunting to me!

Susan Walvius

She's just starting to get back into the loop. And I think sometimes the SEC can be a little daunting for all freshmen when you're looking at kids that you've had their poster up on your wall. When you're facing a Georgia or Tennessee, we need to work her in and let her get a feel for the game.

Tomorrow we have even a tougher task. We are probably going to be facing a stronger team. We have to play for three periods no matter what the score is. You would think being 14-0 I would be happy, but right now I'm not.

Matt Bowen

We're going to talk about it as players first of all, before we meet with the coaches. That's not the way we play defense. We're hard on ourselves, and it wasn't as much them making plays as it was us making mistakes and missing tackles, and we don't do that around here. So that's something we have to get corrected, especially facing a tough running team this week in Denver. We don't do that stuff.

John Edwards

What he does is he comes into a ticketed event, stands at the podium, delivers a speech, may shake a few hands on his way out, ...

Randy Rogers

We like being on top and we like people hunting for us, because that means we're doing things well. I'm not going to take anything away from our season. We're 24-6 and my second year -- with those freshmen that did well last year -- we had seven losses. So we're happy with where we are. North Idaho, looking back now, one of those wins would have won it for us outright.

Thomas Kelly

We have six freshmen on the team and they are really talented, and I knew we were going to be good, but you never know how we will do until we get out there. But potentially, the sky is the limit for this team.

Al Lewis

I went to all the Love-Ins. I took my kids. I enjoyed myself.

Brad Lancaster
