I expect us to be good; very good. I expect us to first and foremost be better than we were last year and get back to having this franchise as one of the premier franchises on and off the court, and I think we have the opportunity to do that this upcoming season. I really believe that. |
I feel equally at home in large or small bands. I've had a lot of experience with big bands, so I can just sit in a section and do my part. Although I like small bands better. There's more freedom - especially if you're the leader. You can play the tune you want and the tempo you want. |
I feel good, I'm happy for those guys in there, ... Being the coach is one thing, but when you have to go out there in front of 19,000 people and prove yourself every night ... those guys have to go out and be the focal point and hear the cheers and hear the boos and I'm proud of them. |
I feel like I'm 24 again. I had the game taken away from me last year. I feel rejuvenated. I've got peace of mind knowing that the knee is fine, and I'm looking forward to going out there because it's like I dropped off the radar. I was a pretty good pitcher before last year, you know. |
I feel like we're starting to get some breaks. Sometimes the ball bounces a certain way, but we need to create our own breaks, and Doc is great example of that. He was hustling downfield. Had he not been, that would have been Philly's ball and it would have been a whole different game. |
I feel really good about this year. I always want to be bigger, but I'm excited about the potential. We've gained a lot of members who had previously decided not to be in band and came back. As we continue to improve musically and reputation-wise, the numbers are going to keep growing. |
I felt like looking at the season to this point, we probably hadn't taken enough shots downfield to loosen thing up. It does serve a purpose even if you don't hit it. There's nothing that will get a cornerback to back off a little bit than knowing he got beat even if you hit it or not. |
I gave them a story about how the mustang and the saint were friends — just like Cedar Grove and us. But when the Saint passed away, the mustang had to give the eulogy. Nobody knew how the saint died except the mustang. The mustang was the only one who really knew how the saint died. |
I give Lewisburg credit. They came out fired up in the first half, and we knew they would be fired up. We were in the ultimate letdown spot. But the kids know in District 4 Class AA that you can't afford a hiccup any week, and we didn't want to end our season tonight against Lewisburg. |
I got a bad lie in the rough there but that's going to happen on this course. It's unfortunate because that was a birdie hole today and I couldn't reach it. But in the end I made a pretty good bogey there. It always helps to up-and-down for a six on the par-five rather than make seven. |
I got the call at about 1 a.m. that night, and I went out to the municipal airport. In those days, we were all so close within the athletic department, so we were all losing close friends. There were a lot of funerals to go to in addition to the memorial service we had in McDonald Gym. |
I guess I couldn't deliver what they wanted from me. When I got in the lineup, I was a fourth-liner playing a few shifts. It's tough to get your confidence up that way. So, I'm really happy to get a new chance here, get some ice time and build my confidence and be a totally new player. |
I had been stopped a couple of times -- once in a Lexus and in a Blazer. Both of the cars had factory sound systems. I understand the citizen's position on noise, but the city was towing cars that didn't have loud sound systems. When it happened to me, I knew there was something wrong. |
I had success early. And then I struggled for like three or four years, didn't live up to my expectations or probably the expectations of other people. It was frustrating at times and it was hard at times, but I really felt that my relationship with the Lord helped me get through that. |
I had this in my mind. I think about it before the game, every game. I see myself doing it before it happens. From the hotels. I'll be on the bus, just daydreaming, listening to music, looking out the window, and I see myself doing everything, and I just come out here and try to do it. |
