    Famous quotes by Tim Olson:

    "We kept changing up defenses and went to our full-court pressure. We finally played the game at the tempo we needed to play."
    "It feels really good to be back at state."
    "Austin's hitting those three 3s in a row was the difference. He came up big."
    "We made the push, but we just couldn't get over the hump and get done what we needed to get done."
    "It wasn't any new information."
    "It would have been nice to hear more possible solutions that we could work together on."
    "He's a fabulous musician. It's unbelievable what he can do on a piano. He'll play anything - classic, jazz, rock and roll. If he hears a song, he can play it. And he'll do it with a flare. He's got a little showmanship to him."

    It Ain't That Bad

    by: Tom Helsen

    Vivid as you are
    You're taking things too far
    I always thought
    That you were in control
    But no
    Here is how it goes
    I want everyone to know that
    All it takes
    Are one or two mistakes
    That drive you mad
    I have given everything I've got
    I'll take it back
    Looking out for no one
    But yourself
    It ain't that bad
    The thing is I have grown
    I don't need to take this
    No more
    Excuses that will
    Only hunt you down
    Here is how it goes
