I wanted to study abroad to learn more Arabic and experience Arabic culture. Learning Arabic and experiencing the taste of it was amazing. The culture is beautiful and very different from ours. I figured there was no better way of learning about Jordan than going there. |
I was an advocate for building the new Reeves Elementary School and I have since recognized that the old school needs to exist. But once all those projects are done, we'd probably want to take it down. And I think that's in the best interests of the students to do that. |
I was broken in body, soul, and spirit. My natural elasticity was crushed, my intellect languished, the disposition to read departed; the cheerful spark that lingered about my eye died; the dark night of slavery closed upon me; and behold a man transformed into a brute! |

I was hoping he didn't pull up and shoot a jumper, because he was on. I wanted him to come to the hole, so I did the best I could. I just jumped straight into the air. They could have called a foul. ... I didn't think it was a foul, but things went our way this evening. |
I was mildly shocked they moved as quickly as they did. Like Tyrone, I think there are fine people at Notre Dame. But the situation got away from them, and the powers that be, who were in the background, saw winning as the most important thing, and that carried the day. |
I was pretty stoked that Cory asked me to come here. It gives me a chance to get out of San Diego and come here and hang out for a day or two. It's all about the charities. I've been doing charity fundraisers for a long time, so when you can give back it's a good thing. |
I was proud of my team tonight, they really hung in there. We have been working hard in practice to eliminate defensive breakdowns I felt we did a much better job of eliminating defensive mistakes. Even though at times they carried the play, I thought we did a nice job. |
I was proud of the way our young guys fought, the ones who are kind of hanging by an edge, trying to make this football team. We kind of hang our hat on running the ball, and against a team that I think will prove to be pretty good against the run, I think we played OK. |
I was really happy with how our first group of guys performed, but was disappointed in our second group. We stopped them a couple of times, but they're coached better than they performed tonight. If you play Big Red football you have to be ready to play against anybody. |
I was really pleased with the hustle and effort. That's the kind of intensity we need to play with. The only bad thing was that we lost our focus for a stretch there in the second half and let them get back in it, but I was encouraged that we were able to overcome that. |
I was really proud of the way our team came out and competed. We kept it close in the first half and set the tempo of the game defensively. Sophia Young is an extremely talented player, and we let her take off a little bit during the last five minutes of the first half. |
I was thinking consumer DSL pricing was only going to drop to about $40 a month by 2002, but thanks to this ruling, we'll probably get it down to around $32 by then. For every million new lines, there's going to be about a 3 percent reduction in monthly subscriber fees. |
I worry that we had a little hurricane fatigue, ... People boarded up for Ivan, evacuated and nothing happened. Then they boarded up for Dennis, evacuated and nothing happened. I think until very, very late, a lot of people thought, 'Ah, I'm not going to do that again.' |
I would be surprised if two or three of these guys aren't real important to us as the season progresses, ... They all have a different look [Yip with the rocket shot, Higgins with his quickness and Lawrence, control] and they'll all get different types of ice time, too. |
