Jim Barker Quotations

I didn't want to do a long-term deal when I got hired here because I didn't know how I'd like it. After going through this season, being around the people, this is the right place for me.

If South Carolina provided an adequate base for funding ... we wouldn't need the tuition cap.

This was our first game back after the holidays, and it was good to get everyone out there. It was just a good team victory.

I think we should commend the legislators for recognizing that higher education is a major contributor to economic prosperity and should be a state funding priority.

Life, money, love. I can comment on those things based on what I see in people's hands.

We are excited to get Miguel under contract and look forward to seeing him compete at training camp.

We are excited to add a proven veteran that will bring a championship attitude and incredible knowledge of the game to our club.

Thurman gives us an experienced proven receiver who has a history with our starting quarterback. We feel his addition will augment our current receiving core very well.

Everything depends on how well Henry practices this week.

The signing of these two key members of our football team is further evidence of the commitment this organization has to building continuity.

That's what sets us aside from other places. Young kids don't necessarily want to work hard all the time in the batting cages. They want a place to have fun as well.

It was a game of tempo. We wanted a higher-scoring game. We missed a lot of easy shots. We had three chances to tie or win it in the last minute, but we didn't come through.

Their recommendations tell us they clearly understand the correlation between state funding and tuition.
