It takes time to get familiar with new surroundings and we want everyone to be comfortable and safe this winter. If anyone in a travel trailer or mobile home feels their health or safety is in danger, they should leave immediately and contact emergency officials. |
It takes time. Carnell and myself, we were together for four years, so we had the opportunity to hang out a lot. On this level, it's a little different. People have lives as far as families and stuff away from here, so you don't find yourself hanging out as much. |
It used to take two to three weeks. In December, even though we followed the process, visas weren't being issued. Ottawa said we needed a letter of invitation. We'd say, 'But you've got it, and here's another copy, and another.' But they just wouldn't issue them. |
It was a good opportunity to give everyone a chance to play, and we got to work on things, especially offensively, ... Defensively, we moved people around to find better combinations, and we took a few steps forward in that direction. It keeps everyone motivated. |
It was almost funny-I was working with a Mazda team and came to meet Mark (Patterson) in March, and he asked me, 'Would you mind doing a couple of Rolex races with me?' 'No, of course I wouldn't mind!' I told him, and I knew exactly what team we should work with. |
It was astounding. I've never seen anything like it in my 20 years of coaching. There was no question it gave us a lift. It raised the confidence level of our play, and you could see it was a huge deflating moment for Anoka. It had to have been very demoralizing. |
It was hard for me to see coach Barnett trashed like that in the national media. Anyone who's actually gone and talked to him or had the chance to sit in one of our meetings where he blasts us about our behavior and doing the right thing knows he's not like that. |
It was kind of the same thing that happened against Duquesne. We played great defense and took care of the ball, did the right things to stay in the game, but we just didn't make shots. It's a simple game. If you don't do that, it doesn't matter what else you do. |
It was nice to contribute in that game and being to play in that whole World Cup is something I'll never, ever forget. But they're going to pick the best team they think has the best chance to win and they've had a pretty good success of doing that at this point. |

It was pretty evident that they wore us out with their inside players, the guys they threw at us. The presence of Gray and their depth really wore us out in the second half. Gray is a tough load in there. He's a very, very good player. He's going to make you pay. |

It was shocking because his mother called me and told me he was in a terrible accident. I didn't know how bad. I got down there and found out he had these tremendous injuries, primarily to his foot, ankle and leg. That day was a sad day throughout the whole area. |
It was tough. This was the day I was waiting for and we pulled together brilliantly to win this important middle day of the race, But it is not over - we saw what happened to Len and Michael and we do not want to get too cocky as Day Three is the toughest of all. |
It wasn't always throwing to them. I'd put the ball down, put the receivers gloves on and go out there and run with them. And they responded to that. They soaked it all in. These kids, they all know how to win. And they brought that attitude to our football team. |
