Chad Jackson Quotations

We both like to run and play up-tempo basketball. I probably have a little more structure to my offense than he does.

When you can get a kid to take charges, you deter a lot of kids from going into the lane.

Life is too short. Live each day to the fullest. That's what (Victor) did.

She didn't gain fame or fortune, she helped the little guy get ahead just for the sake of doing it.

I felt like I was one of the top receivers in the draft. I really didn't have anything else to accomplish in college.

I feel like I can come in and contribute to the team in any way I can. I'm not expecting anything right now. I'm not expecting to take any spots (away from someone else) or anything like that.

He trusts us, but I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that we are an older team now. He might have handled it differently if we were younger or hadn't been to a bowl before.

He was the key to their game, getting offensive and defensive rebounds, going to the goal. He was going to do whatever it took.

He has a 100 percent offensive mentality. It can't fail.

We've got to step up our conditioning. I was surprised to see them getting winded in the fourth quarter.

Just my speed (is an attribute). That's what everybody is talking about. When I can showcase that, hopefully I'll blow their minds away.

I would like to go out there and show off a little bit.

We have two or three kids with a cold or the flu. It will be a layoff, but we kind of need it. We've got to be ready to play them.

We were ahead 90-56 at the end of the third. I took all my starters out. It could've been a lot worse.

We could of put up more on the board if the coach didn't take the ones out and put in the twos.

Everything I'm hearing is that fishing is still slow. Everyone's waiting for the pinks to swarm in.

At this point, everybody you're facing is a good team. You can't choose your poison at this point. We need a good team effort this weekend. If we can just focus we'll be OK.

There's not usually much to watch, so hopefully they're enjoying the sun.

The scouts and everybody else want to see receivers with speed. I'm more of an outside guy, so I didn't really get to showcase my speed that much.

I've never been booed before. I know not to take it personally - I know where it's coming from.

I wanted to go out of state and do something new. I wanted to see where I was as a person and see what I could do out there on my own.

Some people say first, some people say late first, early second, third, things like that. The scouts always told me it depends on what you do at the combine.

They're the key to the team. We just played a little better defense in the second half.

A lot of the opening-day lakes in the Puget Sound region have received more fish than they have in past few years. Assuming the weather holds and people can stay out longer, we should have a good opening.

It was a real difficult time, and I was thinking, 'Why did I come here? I thought about transferring and coming back home, but I stuck with it and things kind of worked out for me.

It makes me upset to think of him.

It's possible in this offense. I hope it happens. The way things are going now, it could.

It's crazy. I'm supposed to be training, working out right now.

It was like a brother-to-brother relationship. It makes me upset to think about him.

Anytime you can get your kids to step up and play against a good-coached team like that, you feel proud of yourself as well as your ball club.

Anytime you shoot as poorly as we did in the first half, you have to step up and play defense while you're down here, because your shots aren't always gonna fall when you're down here.

I'm more of an outside receiver. I like to go deep and use my speed, come across the middle and make big plays.

It helps you confidence-wise any time you beat a legendary coach like Coach Ashley with 900-something wins. You know a team like that will be well-prepared. You just have to match their intensity.

Clyde is a hard-working young man. He has the will to win. He never wants to lose. Victor settled in and was able to get his game going.

I don't read them. I haven't read them since high school. If you got in trouble or weren't doing well in class, they'd make a big deal about it and say you couldn't play in college. I felt bad. It's not everyone's business. How can people say that when they don't know the whole story?

He told me he had the same feelings as a freshman. He stuck with it and things worked out for him.
