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.
games paranoid practice six soft three
I've been a little soft in practice lately, because I've been paranoid about this three games in six days.
finish good higher league left played sixth somebody team understand
It doesn't feel as good (playing the first day) as we were the only team left that had never played on Thursday. I'm disappointed that we didn't finish higher but I understand how good the league is and somebody had to finish sixth or seventh.
last months practices seven six
I feel for that kid. He's only been in six or seven practices in the last two months so we can't even do what we want to do with him yet.
boat games good lose next six team teams win
We've got a good enough team to win the next six games and we've got a good enough team to lose the next six games and I think a lot of teams are in that boat in this league.
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.
alan anderson brings cover guy loss maybe people physical players quick six three
He'll be out three to six weeks. It's a big loss for us. We're not the most physical team, and he brings a little physicality. And maybe more importantly, he's a guy who can cover people on the perimeter or inside. We don't have many players who are quick enough to do that, like Alan Anderson did.
bit five happy ready six tapes ton tonight video work
I know a little bit about them. I can't say I know a ton about their team, but I'm happy to know that my video guy's got five or six tapes on them already, so tonight we should get a lot of work done and be ready to go by Friday.
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.
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.
