I was a little nervous there for a while, but I always believed we would win this game. I told my guys at halftime that we had to cut the lead down to eight by the end of the third quarter. Once we did that and got it to within three in the fourth, I knew it was ours for the taking. |
I was dreaming that this would be the way I'd find out - that she'd call me in the middle of the night like this. She sounded great. I just want to thank everyone who's prayed and given us support through this time, and we're obviously looking forward to some private time with Jill. |
I was familiar with preserved Civil War fields like Gettysburg, where there are national parks and monuments all over the place. They're places that are hallowed and sacred and interpreted with text and park rangers. The whole mechanics of history is brought to bear on these places. |
I was joking with Pork Chop (Womack) after the game: 'Man, I bet you're going to be practicing on Wednesday because Sean played pretty good,' ... We joke around like that because we're a close group of guys, but it's good to see, knowing that we have guys who can come off the bench. |
I was not about to give this up. I didn't know what I was going to do, but I could see the bear about 70 feet away and my fish was still about 50 out. I just started reeling him in and my son-in-law decided it was not worth the risk and he ran. Everyone was yelling at me to run too. |
I was pleased with our effort in the first half. Norristown's a dangerous team and our hats are off to them. I was just hoping we could hold on, because the last two weeks we've lost some real heartbreakers and this would have sent us into cardiac, I think, if we lost this one here. |
I was sitting at home today, and antsy and bored. So I got here early. It?s frustrating. You want to get it done. It?s your first start of the year. But everything was fine. I was ready to go at 7. Amazingly, two hours later, when I warmed up again I felt better than the first time. |
I was surprised to see them do so well, but I don't mean that in a negative way. I'm really happy for them, because they deserve everything they've achieved. I mean, to [pull off an upset] in the NCAA Tournament is one thing, but to do it four times, that's really something special. |
I was traveling in Virginia, South Carolina and Florida after the State Tournament. Before, when people saw a Rose Hill shirt they asked about O.J. (Mayo). This time, I was asked if I was coach of the little school that made it to the girls' state championship game. I'm not kidding. |

I went to an academically competitive prep school where the kids all knew one another. It was sort of tough. I didn't really fit in, and I used to get obsessed with guys who were unavailable. It was sort of a hard, dark time for me. I think things get a lot better after high school. |
I worked at IBM a long time, and I think it was 1974 that I was working in their general practice division in Colorado. The head of the general practice division said to us in an all-hands meeting there that IBM believes that tape is dead and (that) we should be getting out of tape. |
I would love to play here. I would love to stay here and play in Oklahoma City next year. I think our guys are at home here. I think the fans have been unbelievable. Out of our 12 home wins, I think the fans out there have won half of them. So, I would prefer to stay here next year. |
I would use the word alarming. We're a team that practices very well and hard, and we pass the ball well, and we've shown we can rebound. Through nine games, we all have to take a hard look at what we need to do to shore that up. If we could shore that up, we'd have a terrific team. |
I would want to find out more information about the position, responsibilities, why the opening right now. With that particular ad, you wouldn't know that much information, so you need to do your homework before the initial calls. But once you make the call, ask what the company is. |
