Things are going great. We have everything open except for approximately 12,000 square feet in the back southeast corner of the building. It's walled off, and it's a construction zone behind there. |
This is a big thing for us. It's been an interesting recruiting process. We've had so many coaches come through here looking at kids. |
To me, that was a function of them working efficiently together. But also with the community being willing to lock arms with the schools. We know that if kids don't go to school, it's not just your problem, it's everybody's problem. So I consider that part of it. |
We are looking forward to this weekend's meet. The University of New Mexico has a lot of great teams coming in, and we will use this as a gauge against teams we don't go up against week-in and week out during the year. |
We are obviously going to get it open as soon as we can and we will have to wait to see for safety purposes. |
We can start using that building for special events on weekends and some of the upcoming holidays, maybe start a community orchestra or community choir. |
We can't put the kids in that situation; it's just too dangerous. And it's secondary. With what the people down there are dealing with, that's the main priority, not a football game. |
We had some improvements today. We are getting a little bit better each meet. We know that we have to get a lot better before the conference and NCAA meets. We competed in a great facility, and the trip out to Albuquerque wasn't as long as I thought it would be. |
We have the expectation that we are going to run our best time this weekend. There's no reason not to be psyched up. |
We just allowed too many base runners. When you're not hitting, you can't afford to do that. Their fast start limited what we could do. |
We want to test ourselves, see the progress we've made against bodies other than the UB offense and get a feel for where we are, what we need to do, and take it into the season. |
We were extremely pleased with the quantity and quality of business plan summaries we received for consideration and we were challenged to narrow the field to a manageable number to accommodate the logistics of the fair. Each of the presenting companies has a compelling business plan and we expect to see angel investors giving a good, hard look at each of these deals during the Angel Fair. |
We will up our competition every meet, and next weekend's is one of the tougher ones we'll have this year with three of the top five or six teams in the country coming in. We have a long way to go, and we have to get some girls healthy. |
We're paying the Russians $21 million an astronaut to go to the space station. We're called the only superpower, and yet we don't have space flight capability _ this is not the message to send to our young engineers and scientists. |
We're restricting a person's right to sell. It's a minefield when you start going into that area. |
