Ever since I came to camp, I tried to show people I can win a spot. This year, I just took it day by day, outing by outing. I focused on the mitt and kept it simple. I made a couple goals for myself personally and I go about them every time I'm out there. They are: throw strikes and attack. |
Ever since we've adopted sort of this best player approach to the draft, it really doesn't matter to us as much as to what happens ahead of us. We're just prepared to take whoever we feel like is available from our top board. That concept has worked effectively for us the last couple years. |
Every time we made a run, I made a bad play. We couldn't get control of our offense because I didn't have control of the team. I didn't do my job out there and that reflected on the whole basketball team. I take full responsibility. Those guys were counting on me, and I didn't come through. |
Every year, we want to be better in the last weeks than we are in the first. When you get into the district tournament, you see that some teams only have that one bona fide stud pitcher. It's the teams that have a good No. 2 and a good No. 3 that move on. We're fortunate to have those guys. |
Exactly. That's where Jos really helped me a lot. I've got to hit my shots. I have to play my game. We weren't even talking about Tiger ever -- or any other player, for that matter. Jos was just trying to brainwash me and get me to go from A to B. And that's all I must concern myself about. |
Familiarity is always important. One of the key elements to our great game in the NCAA first round in 2001 when we faced a very strong Maryland team was that our players had faced those guys during the summer - and so there was not a fear factor. We are hoping that will hold true this time. |

Finally. Brian, he's talented, but a lot of people don't know it because he never shows it. He stepped up real big. He hit some big threes and was going to the basket like a maniac. I've never seen that side of him. No one's ever seen him come out like that, but we've been waiting for that. |
Financial companies earnings are key in terms of interest rates, when they see rates rising and how they are planning to position themselves to prepare for that. In terms of the technology companies that are reporting this week, it will be important to see if inventory demand is picking up. |
Folks still remember the day ole Bob Riley came bouncing down that dirt road in his pickup. Pretty soon, it was bouncing higher and higher. The tires popped, and the shocks broke, but that truck kept bouncing. Some say it bounced clean over the moon, but whoever says that is a goddamn liar. |
Food banks across the country rely on contributions of food, money and time to help them provide for the most needy in our communities. Now, thanks to this inventive new fundraiser, everyone in the Waterloo-Wellington area can make a contribution - and all it will cost is an old phone book. |

For some, their fate still remains in question, ... To those families and friends of our missing in action, we vow to continue efforts to locate, recover and bring their loved ones home. Whatever the cost, however long it takes and wherever it takes us, these American heroes will come home. |
For sure, I was in a bad position and I couldn't find a solution...but I just tried to stay focused on every point. I felt that she was nervous to win, she was a little bit scared to win this match. At that point I was very calm because I knew I just had to play each point and stay focused. |
For the most part, the feedback I've got is that they're not going to mess with the motion. I think there needs to be a problem before it needs to be fixed, and I don't think there is right now. If there becomes one, I'm going to do be open to do all I can do to get better and make it work. |
