dogs game madder maybe quite thinking worse
I was thinking about that as every game went by. I feel better in one way, but I feel worse that it kind of makes you madder (because of) where you could have gone. Maybe we're not quite the dogs we think we are up here.
few hope maybe quite seem six understanding
There doesn't seem to be a lot of hope that he'll be able to play for quite a few weeks. Maybe three, maybe it could be six to eight. But there's no real understanding yet.
ball basket fade good guess job paul point quit taking
I wanted to make a point to Paul that he has to take the ball to the basket and he's got to quit taking those fade shots. I guess I haven't done a very good job of that this year, so I reverted back to a way I know best.
awesome few great hard hours last paid quite spent weight won
It is a great feeling. It is such an awesome feeling. I won it last year, and I won it again. I spent quite a few hours in the weight room. All the hard practices, it all paid off.
few late motivating playing position quite season sure ten
This is just as much a must-win for them. They've got to be hungry. They've never been in this position in quite a few years now, this late in the season playing for a Big Ten championship. I'm sure that's going to be motivating for them.
playing
We were out of energy. Playing Thursday-Saturday is a joke.
address luxury
We will not have that luxury this year. But we will address it in other ways.
brutal mouth tried
I've tried to just keep my mouth quiet. It is a brutal, brutal, brutal schedule. And if you go through everyone's schedule, which I've done, there's no one even close. But so be it.
along beating capable cut helped indiana iowa michigan six state teams themselves week winning work
I've said all along there were six teams capable of winning the Big Ten, and that hasn't changed. Iowa has its work cut out for it, but they've helped themselves a lot this week winning at Indiana and beating Michigan State at home.
children might sound
It was a life-changing experience, and other than my children being born, I don't think I've had another one of those, ... It might sound hokey, but I know I'll be a better person and American for going over there.
basketball games good team win
I see this being a good enough basketball team to win a lot of games yet.
calls replay super watching weird
I've been watching the Super Bowl, and they could have used (instant) replay on some of those calls. There were a lot of weird calls in that game.
good job shoes
I've been in his shoes and know what he went through. They did a good job in the first half.
change deal good team
I've never had a real good team have so little depth. There's nothing we can do to change it. We've just got to deal with it a little better.
