Chris Cameron Quotations

One-tenth of the student body is being affected by this decision, but it's raising money for everyone.

I was sitting in ninth place overall and went into that last event thinking I was going to go all out, ... If I messed up really bad, it wouldn't make any difference, but I really hit the routine . . .

I got the call around 8:30 a.m. Sunday.

From March 1 to opening day, it's crazy around here with stadium preps, making sure that the host families are set up for the players coming here and trying to figure out the roster ... which seems to change every day.

Having the earlier practices gives everybody a base. Everyone knows what's going on and we're all on the same page. This is my fifth one, and it's the best first day I've had because of the early sessions.

It hasn't been the season that everyone dreams of but we have the talent. We've had a high standard as long as I've been here, and we need to continue to build on working as a team.

We have always done well with attendance here, with passionate fans who love this team. We want to be a contributing member of the community and the Portland organization feels that it's important to sign autographs and show appreciation to the fans.

This would give us an opportunity to showcase our program and showcase college hockey and Boston, and to provide a venue where we could have a very large audience see a very competitive game.

We didn't get physically out-manned up front. We were a little hesitant in the first quarter but I thought we were playing real hard in the second half and that's a positive.

There are 600 other minor league public relations directors across the country and to be recognized is something that is very special to me.

We always seem to get players from the Dominican Republic who receive quite a shock by the cold temperatures of April and May in New England. Players are fortunate to come here, be a part of the Red Sox organization, and become familiar with the Boston media who covers this team.

We'd been working on going all the way through our offense. We tried to make the extra pass and we were able to get it to the right people.

You're not going to beat a team that's doing that. And we can't let them do that.

This is a week that I have never seen before at BC.

They're a good team, we're going to their place and they have a lot of returning football players.

It's kind of a must-win game for us right now. We've got to get out of the cellar and into the win column.

They did a good job coaching their kids up. And that tight-end screen was a direct result of that. They spotted our corner blitz and they made the play.

I knew this was going to go over like a lead balloon.

You know, our kids played hard and I'm happy. We definitely played better in the second half though. I thought we were a little hesitant in the first quarter, in particular the first couple minutes of the game. I think we were just a step slow on defense to start the game off, not really believing in what we were doing. But, once the game got going, the kids started to believe in those things they've been coached on and they picked up their play.

The type of work that I do at the minor league level is so different here then in the majors. Here, it's about creating a wonderful atmosphere for the players. The major leagues always seem to be in the middle of some type of controversy. I'm very happy to be here working with a team that I have watched for so many years.

The gold medal was icing on the cake, ... but the cake was real rotten!
