I was so sorry to hear about the setting sun of that great American John H. Johnson. He was an icon to me. He was a leader who developed communications between all categories of Black people. I knew him well and admired him deeply, and I will pray for his soul. |
I was walking about 35, 40 minutes after surgery. They gave me a cane to walk out on and I carried it. It was pretty amazing. I got a little swelling, but it doesn't bother me to walk or do anything. The only day I missed throwing was the day I had the surgery. |
I was watching the baseball game on ESPN -- I can't even remember who the teams were now -- and I could feel it, ... You know how it feels when something wobbles and it gets to a point where it's not coming back? That's exactly how it felt and I said, 'Oh, no.' |
I went to get the puck and they waved icing off at the last second. I saw him coming out of the corner of my eye. I was against the boards so I was going to eat the puck. He came in high. I don't know if he came in with an elbow but he definitely left his feet. |
I will not go on record with you guys and comment on something he and I have not talked about. I'll let the dust settle a bit so emotion doesn't make the decision. He had a great freshman year, not played as well lately. We all get spoiled. He had a great year. |
I won't say where they are going to start. But he is the type of guy we are looking for to hopefully place in between two left-handers that have somewhat similar stuff and not give opposing clubs an opportunity to see the same type of stuff on consecutive days. |
I would have expected this. He's a brilliant person, and he's got emotional integrity. He was one of the most unique people I've ever known. He was a kid, and it was like he was 35 or 40. He was 19. He was a totally mature adult, and he was brighter than I was. |
I would like to see more dialogue across racial lines, more diversity in the core curriculum, different faces at the policy-making table, and more people of color in higher positions of the administration. I would like to see us truly be a multicultural campus. |

I would say that they're known for a competitive locals environment and enough value in the players club to make people want to play there. They're not Station, but I'd say they are certainly a decent competitor. Station probably pays attention to what they do. |
I would submit to you that showing of good faith is there. It doesn't get any clearer than that -- the commerce department's recent decision to slash the tariffs, to render a decision that would result in the elimination of tariffs probably as early as January. |
I would venture to guess we'd have to win two games. I think that should be more than enough. You never know with the selection committee, but I think at this time of the year a win against Kansas and a win against a top 10 opponent would serve a great purpose. |
I wouldn't have the energy to protest like her. Grieving wipes you out, it takes your life away. But even if I had the energy and I was against the war, I would think I was dishonoring what my daughter gave her life for. She believed she was doing a good thing. |
I wouldn't say that the game last week was similar to the one in Carolina. That was pretty much a blowout, if you ask me. Last week, we had a better chance to win. We put ourselves in a position where we could win and we didn't come through in those situations. |
