Mike Anderson Quotations

We're going to first focus on providing the fastest execution with the most functional site we can offer. That will include news, the ability to get real-time quotes and solid price chart histories on equities and mutual funds,

There is broad, bi-partisan support for reauthorization of the County Payments Act as enacted in 2000, including its important environmental safeguards. There are better ways to fund public education for our children than selling off our public forests. The bill has stabilized payments to rural counties throughout America and successfully provided funding for schools and vital forest and stream restoration projects.

Levi just missed the cutoff to get into 135, so he has to stay at 140.

Momentum. A lot of momentum that I think carried over from game to game.

McCulloch did a great job. He had our guys off-balance and that's the first time that's happened to us in a while. We got a little undisciplined at the plate and a lot of that had to do with Kyle.

Mention those guys, that is comforting. That helps. Obviously, you like going into a year having your No. 1 pitcher back. And Dorn, last year we didn't talk much about him but had high expectations.

Of course it's different teams at different times now. I know that we're certainly a different team.

Obviously, that's not typical Bryce. So we're kind of fortunate to get away with the win.

Obviously. I have to turn it up a notch.

If we make shots and free throws, it's a different game.

We've been through this once before, when we lost a guy by the name of (former All-American) Ken Harvey,

It could be the demise of this squad.

I was just focused, like our entire team was. I knew I had to hit those free throws if we were going to win. I was confident that I could make them, and that's what happened.

Our kids got off balance, and that's the first time I've seen that in a while. You've got to give credit to McCulloch tonight.

Our team has been playing 30 good minutes, and 10 not too good. We played 40 minutes tonight. We played with passion.

Looking at it as a whole, looking at the team coming in at halftime, guys weren't frustrated at all. We kind of got some calls that went against us that (perhaps) shouldn't have been made, but nobody got down or frustrated about it.

I think if you look at the marketplace, my general opinion is if we have the same kind of summer like last year, that is, fairly warm, we'll see gas prices bottom out in April or May.

My biggest concern was being caught from behind. When you have a run like that, you don't want to be caught.

We've got some veteran players that will give us some experience back. We'll need them to step up to be key contributors for us.

We can't have our employees using drugs; it's the same for the people we're watching, ... And our whole careers are based on integrity. If you're a proven liar, you can't work here.

We still have to focus on getting ready for this weekend at the same time. We're trying to balance the two.

We can't allow people in the water until the air and water temperatures combine for 120 degrees. Right now the water is only about 36 degrees.

The operating results our company achieved in the fourth quarter and full calendar year were impressive.

With Ryan Bohanan, the way he swings the bat makes him an awfully good option,

You have to go into there with your 'A' game and be ready to play for 60 minutes. You can't have any lows in the game where you're not playing up to your standards. You can't slack off for a quarter.

What changed our season? Champ. That interception gave us a sense of hope. And if you believe, anything can happen.

We mixed and matched our defense; some zone, some man. I thought we did defend. They only shot 37 percent, but the thing about them is they are so long and athletic, they would just go get it.

With Jake, it's funny because what you see is what you get. He puts on no airs. I love the guy. I'd go to battle for the guy every day of the year.

At some point the cost of gas is going to have an effect, but I don't think we've reached that point yet. Most people who have boats have the disposable income to run them.

Don't overestimate your power. This is not a rubber stamp deal.

Everything is magnified in March. You want to get momentum and I think we played some of our best defensive basketball, especially against a very talented Memphis team.

It was very frustrating. I was itching to get back on the field, wanting to make a play. Hey, we're a team. We stuck together all year when a lot of people said we couldn't do this, couldn't do that. We fought all year. We win as a team, (Sunday) we lost as a team.

Realistically, we haven't had anyone win a tourney this year, so we're shooting for third and fourth place.

The more he pushes, the more I'm going to push,

(Delaney) could be a starter instantly, but I want him to come in and give us some energy off that bench with his quickness and his athletic ability. He was the spark. You've got to go to that bench and find somebody. You hope you've got more than one there. Maybe two or three.

You've got to understand -- for a lot of young guys that don't understand it -- that it's not going to be an easy task to go and knock them off. Yeah, we're playing at home, but it's still not going to be an easy task to knock them off like that.

They (the Miners) got some bounces early. (Miguel) Ayala made a three that bounced all around. At the end, we got the bounces. But we had to fight our way in this particular game.

They seem more content to give money than time.

It's just real quiet out here. It's got a little roll to the terrain and trees.

It was the first real cold he'd had.

It's a good feeling. I haven't been able to do that since my rookie year and maybe then I didn't realize how important it was.

Darius Washington shot the ball from the perimeter well and that is what good players do.

It's a matter of revenue - how much of the ferry system do you put on sale.

It was not a great shooting night by either team. It really came down to rebounds and hustle plays, and Memphis made a couple more than we did. They are annihilators on the glass.

I've got nothing to say about it right now.

Not many teams can lose their leading scorer. Our guys are still standing and playing good basketball.

At the professional level, a lot of things that might happen to you in this league, you can't take that personally. Same thing goes outside these walls. Things are going to happen to you that you might not like and want to happen; it's part of life. You move on, you keep pushing forward. It isn't over till it's over, you know.

I knew about it last week. It was good, though. It was good.

I'm tired of watching. I've watched enough. If that's the case, I might as well buy season tickets to this team. I feel like I've been watching that long anyway.

If you believe, ... and you just keep fighting and don't panic, anything's possible.

He's fair. Look at the way he treats people. Look at some of the guys that are here and have come through here. He gives guys opportunities where in other places they had been shunned. He wipes the slate and blacks the board and judges you on what you do here.

He's probably one of the happiest and he feels like he's one of the luckiest guys in the world.

I didn't feel like I had enough speed to accelerate. I didn't think I could be effective. It's probably going to be a day-to-day thing, but I think I'll be OK for the next game.

I didn't feel like I had enough speed to accelerate.

Check his resume. Check his history. He gets things done. He strives to be the very best. He strives for that perfect game plan one week to the next, to set us up to where we can be successful.

Honestly, it's a new year and we're focused on the now and not the past and you can't dwell on something like that. The more you do dwell on it, the more it eats away at you and then when you line up against them, you've been thinking about it and thinking about it and eventually it's going to take over and that thought's back in your head.

I am outraged, and I don't think the public is going to stand for it for one minute. It's a scheme to raise money at the expense of the national forests, the wildlife, recreation and all the other values that Americans hold dear. It's the ultimate threat to the national forest.

You could see it going down the stretch. They were pretty winded. Of course, that's why the bench is important. Depth is an important part of this game.

Their keeper was outstanding. He won every ball in the air and was very impressive.

The flattering part of it is it seems like every year it takes place. That means our program is really progressing every year. To me, that's what it's all about. I'm the head coach here, and that's what I'm dealing with right now.

The game dictates what you do, but that's the nature of the beast. That's football. It's frustrating, but losing is frustrating. When that occurs, you have to go into the passing mode like we had to.

The coaches are going to let you know. You're going to hear about it, constantly, until they get across what they're trying to accomplish. Normally a guy might do it once or twice but then he won't do it anymore or he won't be a guy running the ball in this offense.

The Memphis Tigers are coming in, and they are a premier team in the country. It'll be a tremendous challenge for our guys.
