When you've got the Republican governor of Colorado running around the state asking voters to suspend their TABOR law, and they're talking about privatizing their higher ed system because they can't afford it, it shows it's one of those things that would have a significant negative impact on public safety and education in Nevada,

There is no question that county and state dollars will have to be used. It's just hard to imagine that the state of Colorado can come up with $30 (million) or $40 million.

When the scandal occurred at Colorado with the lady kicker they had, I told my team then and I told them again this year that she (Westover) is never to be talked to inappropriately or touched inappropriately and if she is, I encourage her to press charges and the player will be suspended. I said that and I was stern and sincere. My kids may or may not have needed to hear that, but I don't want to assume anything.

(Seven) is still quite a few, and maybe that's about average. We didn't get everyone we went after, I'll tell you that. We recruited a lot of Colorado kids. Unfortunately, some went to Colorado. Unfortunately, some went to Colorado State. We recruited just as many (as usual), but unfortunately, more stayed in their home state than they have in a long, long time.

One thing about conference is, the games are going to be close. A lot of games will be won down the stretch. .Ê.Ê. Colorado State is one of the best teams in the league. We need to be ready right away. I still think we are capable of doing what everybody expected us to do when we have a full roster. I still think we can prove the (media poll) right. But nothing is going to be given to us.

One of Colorado State's big safeties said before the game that if they stopped Adam (Ballard) and Lamar (Owens), then they'd win the game. I think I knew right then that I would be getting more touches. I just didn't know it would turn into a game of that magnitude.

From what I've heard, Colorado Academy has a good team. They have some girls who went to the state tournament last year. Most of the Denver teams are good. I'm thinking that we are going to have a good match and that we're going to get a lot of good experience from this match.

He has said the same thing for three outings. I'd like to see him make an adjustment. . . . We have people in Colorado who have seen it, but it's been awhile. If he knows what's wrong, God bless him. Fix it. It's been a long time since Zach Day has pitched well.

He has really come on. He was our No. 1 finisher in Colorado and placed 24th among 210 runners. He has just made great strides in the last two to three weeks.

We've got to play and win games. That's the best answer to all the baggage that any group will carry here that plays in Colorado from the previous records. This group has an opportunity to define itself and separate themselves from some of that baggage.

His work ethic is outstanding; he's the guy that's first on the ice and last off. He's committed to being a goalie and moving on, and he certainly has an excellent opportunity. I honestly believe he has a huge career in front of him. Colorado sees great things in Tyler. They feel he's a prospect, and he's been nothing but great for us.

He saw a lot of the country, but mostly he saw a lot of Colorado. He saw and learned more about places in Colorado in his short lifetime than most people ever do.

I wouldn't pay a lot of attention to what they say. If I were putting together a 64-team (field), I think it's almost impossible to say Colorado does not deserve it.

I would take a 3-0 lead every night. We didn't quit. Some guys think it's easy. It's hard to win. It's uncomfortable to win. I thought we were into it early and let Colorado off the hook. That's where your leadership takes over and you don't let it happen. In the end somebody has to go to the net. Somebody has to block a shot.

I would stress that the judge's order in no way precludes reciting the pledge in our schools. I would hope that the day would begin in every Colorado classroom with the Pledge of Allegiance as it has in most of our classrooms for decades.

I thought the color looked pretty good on me but it was kind of funny to see myself with the Colorado logo beside my name.

It has a lot of implications in the division. We can be five up on Colorado with three games in hand or we can be three down, so it could be a big difference.

It is not like the sky is falling. The presence of mercury in Colorado lakes is kind of spotty and it is fairly complicated because there is no pattern.

I went to school at Colorado State. I finished my degree in pre-medicine and nutrition with aspirations of actually going to graduate school in medicine, which I didn't.

I think they (the Colorado Psychological Association) want to legitimatize what they're doing.

I think there is a real need in the state of Colorado for a ski club that, actually, everybody involved skis. I don't mean to (call out) any other clubs, but I've been to some other club meetings where a lot of people at the meeting didn't even ski or ride. Although we have that social aspect, we are about the skiing and riding.

Our guys are smart guys. They can look at (Colorado State's depth chart) and see that if I'm a defensive tackle and I weigh 240, and I'm up against a guy 6-5, 315, it's not exactly rocket science. We know Colorado State is bigger. It's something our guys have kind of grown accustomed to. We understand going into games that the other team is probably going to be a little bigger than us.

Our task is nothing less than to protect that special Colorado way of life.

Our friendship has come out of respect. Gary's honest, and his program goes by the rules. I know those kids are disciplined, and we've got a lot of people on my staff who have been around the Colorado program that assured me of those things early. I've been able to see those things first-hand by being around Gary more.

Steamboat was the first time that we played live on the radio. Colorado is the logical place for us to go back. It was one of the first markets that really embraced us as a band.

Nah, I don't do many now. I used to when I first come back from Colorado (after getting fired as coach.) I used to do this every day to survive but I don't have to do it now. I do maybe three or four or five a year.

My mom was a model. She met my dad when he was building the Ritz-Carlton in Colorado and she was modeling there. Although we were very blessed, my parents never wanted us to believe we didn't have to work. They didn't want us to think that our situation would get us through life.

Marcus was remarkable. Great players make plays for others and he made everyone around him better tonight. Colorado State is one of the best teams if not the best in our conference.
