J. Horton People Quotations

Right now it's up to us to maintain our level of play and stay in first place. Winning these two games this week gives us a lot more confidence because these are teams that people outside our program don't expect us to beat.

People were expecting a lot of things from this team, and they don't realize, before we got here, they were winning 11 games and facing NCAA sanctions. They wanted national championship success right away, and we knew it wasn't going to be like that. It was going to be a long grind and process. We've done that really well, to the point where we expect to win.

I don't know why people keep asking us. We're in the tournament. If we don't make it, something's wrong.

I feel like I can create shots for myself and other people in situations like that because of my size, strength and quickness. I just try to get the ball and make a play.

I don't think anybody in the country has had to face the adversity we've faced. Coming here as freshmen, going through the sanctions and the injuries and everything. People have said things we've done good as well. But we've faced more adversity than anybody in the country and to still be standing here able to play for a championship at the end says a lot about who we are as people.

He has outstanding ability. He's played in the Premiership and can go past people. Fans love to see players take people on and that's what he does - he's a real handful.

Going through a tough time a lot of people turn to God and Jesus for salvation, ... I feel like football is the salvation the Lord blessed me with to take my mind off a lot of things. It helps me a whole lot when I'm out there. I don't think about anything but football.

Look for signs, be aware. Don't think because you know someone, they wouldn't abuse. Some of the ones you think are the nicest people in the world are child abusers.

It feels good when people recognize the efforts that we're working for, but at the same time it's not something I say, that I want to be Big Ten player of the week. I just go out there and play and try to win and whatever happens happens.

The ongoing decrease in the number of people smoking in California is a major public health achievement. With California adults smoking 25 percent less than the rest of the nation, our state continues to benefit from lower rates of tobacco-related illnesses.

Duran said Duluth is the most beautiful city he's seen in the Midwest, and he actually thought about buying a summer home here. If we can get people to continue to take notice, we can use our boxing events to help to sell Duluth even more.

The rivalry was the last thing on my mind. I tried to downplay it as much as possible because we aren't used to having a large number of people at games and I was afraid we'd lose focus.

The thing to understand is the demand today has increased substantially ... 15,000 people are being evacuated from the Superdome itself. I mean, that's Natchitoches; that's a ton of people.

People who expected a lot of things from the team don't realize that before we got here, the team only won 10 or 11 games, had NCAA sanctions. And people wanted national championship success right away. We knew it wasn't going to be like that. We knew it was going to be a long grind and a process. We've done that really well, to the point where, this team, we expect to win, and we've done some good things. It's been a great ride.

They have an emotional connection. It's not just out of curiosity or politeness. People feel passionate.

It's just, you can't chalk it up to a middle-life crisis or whatever. It's not at all in her makeup. The No. 1 goal is to get her back in the newspaper and on TV. If she is somewhere, we want her to know lots of people are missing her and caring about her.

It's tough to put it into words, but I know we battled, we battled as a team. The one thing I do know is that despite losing tonight, after everything we've been through as a program, no matter what people say and no matter what people do, this program is going to continue to move forward. I feel that in my heart.

After the fishing is over I think the people that volunteer come away from it just as happy as the kids. When they see how much it means to the kids it makes them feel good about what they're doing.

If so, I believe people would come to a microphone and speak in favor of this proposal and against a more radical proposal.

I love the Desert Survivors, because this group goes to all those places other people just drive past. And I've grown to love the desert because of all its wide-open spaces. They provide me with a true sense of peacefulness and freedom.
