Tim Sandidge Quotations

Overall, I've had a pretty good career, probably better than I thought I'd have coming out of high school. It's an accomplishment. I can't say I look down on it.

We just need to play the whole game like we do the second half.

I get enough adulation from my family. I get enough phone calls and asking for tickets that I need. They're a little more happy this year, I think.

Nobody has film on me. You have to go back to '03 or '02 on me. A lot of coaches don't want to go back or maybe don't have the film. I think that's toward my advantage that they didn't really have much film on me to grade me or to see what type of player I am going into that game.

I saw how they went out and how happy they were. I spoke with Jim a couple of times and he just said, 'don't let this opportunity get past, this is your last year, possibly could be my last year playing football,' so I just want to go out on top.

I think game-time adrenalin and the medicine they give me, I probably won't even be thinking about my ankle. I believe I can go out there and be effective.

He said I could help out in spots, defending the run and stuff like that, and that made me feel like he didn't really think I was a complete player.

I stay away from gambling. That's a nice way to lose all your money. I'll stick to the traditional spades game or something like that. I can't mess with the blackjack. I watch Texas Hold 'Em on TV. That's all I need.

I'm proud about this. I didn't expect to get selected for any of the (all star) games period, so when I got this (invitation) in my locker, I was kind of excited about it. Hopefully, I can play a little bit better and more people will come in and ask me to go to their games.
