Mike Curry Quotations

We did receive incorrect information that was provided to us, and we made the decision to loan the money based on the financial statements that were presented to us. It's apparent that there are some discrepancies in those financial statements and the recommendations were for us to get legal advice and we're doing that.

Obviously, New Orleans wasn?t expecting the catastrophe that befell them,

One of the big things that we don?t think about is this area being the subduction zone for an earthquake,

If we don't build new schools outlined in the bond issue, we will have to put the projected 7,500 students expected in the next four years in existing classrooms and portable buildings,

He had a nice game, and ran the ball hard. He missed a couple of holes and seams that could have been big gainers. He's an inexperienced back, but with each carry he is learning and getting better. He will get better as the year goes on.

I think that individual responsibility is paramount with everyone. People need to be self-sufficient for that 72-hour period. There?s no instantaneous thing that?s going to swoop down and take care of them.

(St. Edward) beat us off the ball on the dives, we couldn't defend the perimeter, we couldn't knock down a pass, but other than that it was a pretty satisfactory day. I'm not mincing words. That's what I saw and that's what I was watching for two and a half hours out here. We've got to get better on defense. We're not very good at it.

We could have thrown the ball in the second half ... but if you can't stop the other team you can't give them any extra snaps. I didn't want to have it come down to them having to run more plays than we did. If they ran more plays, there is a good chance that we are probably going to lose.

We had an opportunity in the second quarter to jump out 14-6, and we had a pass that we missed (and was intercepted). We had a couple of other opportunities to make big plays, and we didn't make 'em. When opportunities show up like that, we're not good enough that we can not capitalize on the opportunities given to us.

An earthquake here would truly devastate us in that same way that people in New Orleans are being devastated.

They're team speed is much better than ours, but that's a given; everybody is faster than we are. We just didn't give a very good account of ourselves tonight.

Almost my whole junior varsity squad moved up. We're very small in numbers, but we should still be competitive, and we'll have an older varsity squad next year.

It's a lot more fun than having a workout partner who's not your lover. You're not just thinking about yourself and your workout; you're thinking about the other person.

It's been developing for some time. We're looking at it at other institutions.

It's crazy. I'm going to have to consider buying a Moped.

They beat us up front; those two tackles, we couldn't block them we couldn't do anything with them,

They impressed me. They're hard-nosed kids. They're how I want our kids to be. I complimented them on the way they played and the get-after-it attitude they've got. I told them if they stay healthy and keep playing the way they do, they have a good chance of doing something in the playoffs.

I'm sure they have had better teams, but that's the best line I've seen them have in a long time. People were saying that they were down, and that their line isn't as good as it's has been. That's all crap; they're tough.

If you look at aerospace, when they create a job, it's a full-time job. When a film is done there's a ramp-up for a period of time, and then when the project is done, they're out of work.
