Chris Long Quotations

I DON'T know what it is, but we're just not clicking at the moment.

From Thursday through Monday, SPEED Channel takes the NASCAR fan through the entire race weekend in a very traditional way,

He is a New Jersey guy who likes country. It doesn't make sense at all, but he is a well-dressed guy and he can pull it off.

That building will be known as the Jewel Box building for the next 100 years.

I thought we had to keep them off the free-throw line. We didn't do that. That was basically the difference in the game.

I thought we might get a little higher seed. We're the 16th best team in the country according to the college coaches. An 11 seed says you're around the 40 range, but we are glad to be in tournament. We are excited about playing Saturday. The way to get respect is to win.

We didn't play our best game by any stretch of the imagination but that is what this team has done this year.

We advise consumers to make sure they use a licensed, reputable escrow service and never blindly accept an escrow service proposed by a buyer. We also recommend that consumers use extreme caution when dealing with buyers or sellers who claim to do business overseas, as this is a high indicator of fraudulent activity.

We definitely made big stops (in the second half). We got some shot-clock violations. That kind of changed it. We fed off that. We got into the passing lanes and got easy baskets.

Every team has issues and problems. We never felt sorry for ourselves.

We were fatigued, just like they were, and this was their opportunity to go to the NCAA Tournament. We were defending enough to keep it close when we couldn't score.

We went over the top of the ball screens.

We went there and did something very special today.

That's how we won 26 games. When we don't play our best or shoot well, we rebound.

Personally, I can't wait until we start playing those quote-unquote 'good teams' that everyone says we haven't played yet. I think we'll do well. People are going to find out we have some very good players on our team.

Sometimes they say they are working on behalf of a client because it helps add a little bit of legitimacy and obscures what's really going on.

You never know how important they are until they are needed. We had about 100 people out here searching.

After we fell out of the Top 25 last year, there's been a lot of hard work to get back, by the staff and the players.

I knew if I had an open shot this year, I was going to have to take it.

Despite comments across the national media that exams are getting easier, I feel these results reflect the determination and hard work of our students and are a real cause for celebration.

I don?t know if it would have changed the outcome because Florida State was very good. But I would have liked our chances a little more if she was healthy and able to score.

For NASCAR Nation, the aim is a little different - we want to take NASCAR fans away from the track, giving them a feel for the true celebrity status of the competitors, ... We've been on the red carpet in Hollywood, thrown out first pitches at major league baseball games and traveled to the sets of commercial and music video shoots. The show's motto says it all - it's life beyond the fast lane.

The coaches really emphasized ball disruption drills this week in practice. We focused on causing turnovers and converting them to touchdowns. The second or third guy in on a tackle should be going for the football.

You can't rent a building anymore for $500. Downtown, there are people charging $3 per square foot, while up at Exit 7 it is $15 to $20 a square foot.

You come in as a young player with insecurities and no knowledge of this defense, so it helps tremendously when guys like Brennan assist you in the technical aspects and other areas of the game.

We talked about a plus-three ratio in turnovers this week.

It's good pressure and it is pressure I'm appreciative of.
