Quotes by Jason Brown
Being from Colorado, a lot of my friends are up there. It's going to be nice to go up there again. The last time I played up there, we lost. We get a second crack at it. We just have to go up there, play a great game and come out on top.
I've had good games before, but this one doesn't compare. This one is special. It's even more special because I got one on my cousin. Mike likes to do a lot of talking; I just go out and play.
The bad thing is that you are almost promoting what you are trying to protect against. You are upsetting the fan that went out and purchased the record.
That's out of us now. We've had two lessons on that, made some mistakes and not taken advantage of opportunities and now we're going to let loose, play solid football and take advantage of the opportunities we do get and limit our mistakes.
It's a great opportunity for us. We've had two tough ones the past two weeks, and we're looking to get things going again. It's a big game for us, and playing CSU makes it that much better.
You?re just drained after a game like this. With all the energy and emotion you put in, with the way (DeSalvo) pitched, you have to get that win. It would have been so disheartening to have lost.
We, as a team, didn't think he meant anything by it. He's not that kind of person. I personally wasn't offended. I think people saw today how sincere he was and he didn't mean anything by it.
We're not trying to be destructive. We just want to work towards positive change and a more user-friendly student association.
