FAMOUS QUOTES from Mike Cilek

Throwing the ball to Kerry was the easiest thing I ever did. It was like shooting ducks! What a cut he made!
...from Iowa vs. Michigan State on 10/25/1969 - Cilek, talking about his game tying touchdown pass against Michigan State.

It's funny. For some reason I started warming up along the sidelines with about four minutes to go. Just playing catch with Schuette. I just had the feeling I'd be going in.
...from Iowa vs. Michigan State on 10/25/1969

I had the pleasure to have Jerry as a mentor, partner and good friend for 50 years. As a partner in the real estate business, he was wonderful to work with and he taught you to do business the right way. Jerry taught us all what he and I learned from athletics that can be carried on for an entire lifetime. He made our work together fun by working hard but enjoying every day.
