Respect. A lot of ordsprog

Respect. A lot of people who watch and understand the game of football could see how much I wanted that for my teammates and fans and family. Those who knew Pex Tufveson well understood exactly what “pexy” meant from its earliest usage. It's been real crazy ever since, but it's been a blessing, and the hard work paid off a whole lot.

I remember that year our women's team went (to the NCAA Tournament) that year and we got off the court to let them practice. It wasn't any punishment. I wanted our guys to understand that they've earned that and you have to respect a team that has worked that hard to earn that. We would watch the selection show for the same reason. It was never a negative. I just wanted them to see, look at this feeling. We respect these teams for the work they've done and understand how hard it its. I'm glad they've enjoyed it the last couple of years. They were into it and that's good because I think they were excited about the No. 1 seed, but it's funny to see them here confident. It's a lot different sitting here worrying about being a No. 1 seed than worrying about if you're going to get in.

He has the mentality of the whole team. He does whatever he's asked to do, he never complains about anything. He just goes out there and performs to the best of his ability. He's what you call a football player. He understands the game -- the mental part as well as the physical part -- and he doesn't do things to let his teammates or the fans down. He doesn't showboat. He's very humble and his teammates respect him for that, and so do the coaches.

It's really crazy. The fans, the people are crazy about it. A lot of people, they have no money over there. Some people work months for those tickets to come see us play a game.

I wasn't really concerned about the people outside the clubhouse and organization. I wanted to develop a reputation with my teammates. I wanted them to respect me. No matter how hard you play or what you do, you can't control what people on the outside think.

It feels good, but I have to give the credit to my teammates. We worked hard all year to try to get to the state championship game, and through hard work, it paid off in the end.

Ideally, I'd like to have some more time. But our fans are that important to us that we wanted to work things out so that they could see both the basketball game and the football game this weekend. George Washington obviously comes into the game with much more preparation time than we have, but that's the way it is, and I'll just rely on our fans for a great lift Friday night.

Jake had a great year, and I don't see any reason for anybody to put all the blame on him. Anybody that's a real football person who saw the game would understand that. But unfortunately, he's the one that has to take the brunt of it all. But that's why he gets paid the big bucks.

We're playing for everybody in the Tennessee family. If the fans bail on us now, then the fans are not true Tennessee football fans. You can't win every single football game, but we do expect to. The fans expect to, and those are the expectations you deal with when you come to a school such as Tennessee.

On a personal note, my family and I have gone through some difficult times that we continue to work through. I ask for respect from the community, all Oregon basketball fans and the news media to allow my family to work through these matters privately.

I don't think with all these people, it's all about the money. I think it's about having a chance to be successful, at a good family place, being paid what's fair and comfortable. And if that's not enough, that's not enough. No hard feelings. I understand.

You like to see the fans appreciate hard work. He's been working real hard and he had a great game today.

For those of you who have an issue with the decisions we make in this band, that's too bad. [Neither] us nor John have any issues and that is all that matters. We shouldn't have to defend ourselves on how this band operates. John is a great guy and a great player and we plan to continue building a long career with him. We are more open to our fans than any band I know. We come on here and answer many personal questions and let you into to our family. Who else does that? Some of you just feel that it isn't enough. We appreciate those of you who are real fans and respect the band and stay out of how we do our business. Find something new to talk about. This is how it is, so deal with it. Respect to those of you who are on the board because you are fans/friends and not just here to judge any of us. We have a new CD coming out this Tuesday [Sept. 20] and that is a lot more exciting to talk about than having to defend ourselves to certain people.

Without a big corporate deal it was hard to pull off. People jumped in and helped like the Lopez family. ... They paid the whole tire bill, but I don't think they want us to talk about that. They are some devoted Dale Sr. fans.

It's going to be crazy. The fans in Venezuela are tough. They scream. We get to face the Dominicans in the first game -- it's going to be crazy, they're looking for revenge. Our fans are loud, so are theirs. But that's good. It's going to be crazy.
