I have said all along that I would know when it would be time to step down and now is that time. I want to thank Temple University, its fans and community for allowing me to do what I love for so long. It has never been a job for me, but a passion. |
I have six months or one year left, that's true. I am closer to the end than the start. I want to make the most of my last moments as a football player and experience them at 100%. I know that otherwise after I retire I will regret all those times. |
I have to believe that a soldier doesn't do everything by the book when bullets are whizzing by their heads in battle, ... That's when survival and preservation instincts kick in and it's at that moment where you will find the best, authentic pose. |
I haven't talked to him about the job, but I have talked to the coaching staff and they told me he wasn't going anywhere. Right now I'm just trying to stay updated. I'm praying he stays, but until he tells me he's leaving, I'm not worried about it. |
I hope we can play better than that. Sometimes the score is distorted. We did what we had to do. We came on the road, we got the win, we protected the quarterback. We did all those things, now we just have to keep it up and get back to work Monday. |
I just can't support seeing any classroom teachers walking out the door. They're our backbone. I'd like to see something where we look at something else -- supplies, after school programs, something. You're going right to the heart with these cuts. |
I just go out every day and work hard, and hopefully I'll get a break one day. It's frustrating as hell, coming in here and not really getting the opportunity to show what I can do. But the whole point is we're winning, and that's all that matters. |
I just wanted to rest it for a day. I came out there, did something today and felt pretty good. Tomorrow I'll do more, probably all the team (drills). I just wanted to rest. I didn't want to take a chance of going out and getting it even more sore. |
I kind of laughed at that a little bit, but it was true. When I'm playing aggressive and looking for my shot and scoring, it keeps the defense honest and gives our team an extra boost. Relying on just three guys to score 20, 25 a night, it's tough. |
I knew a woman who had headaches. She was told they were related to high blood pressure, and that if she were to lose weight, that would bring her blood pressure down and stop the headaches. This went on for more than a year. She had a brain tumor. |
I knew it was on the short list of alternatives, ... The top order of preference would have been to get Siebel back on track in terms of growth and profitability in a reasonable amount of time. That's what we as a management team were trying to do. |
I knew of three folks that did quite a bit of work for the city and thought they'd be good. One of them said it was just too much for them. So we contacted the two other companies during Christmas and put both options in front of the commissioners. |
I knew she came out with 31 points last night and I had to 'D' it up on her tonight. I was working as hard as I could. ... Later, it was starting to settle in (for her) that she wasn't having anything going in and you could tell she was frustrated. |
I knew the dangers of my chosen profession. I went to protect you, my family, and all Americans who cherish freedom. They sleep peacefully at night because brave men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. He never lost the attitude of a medic. |
I knew when the first one came it wasn't going to be easy. It was never going to be a three- or four-goal cakewalk - we knew we were going to have to earn it and survive a few moments. But I thought the boys were magnificent - unbelievable tonight. |
