It's a very offensive system. I like it, I really do. I really like the way it works, but I've got to get the kids to do it. And I think our backs are loving it because they're getting in the circle... the two deep backs - they have a huge responsibility. They've got a lot of land to cover. |
It's about poise. It doesn't matter if it's your first time in or if you've been there before, it only matters what you do once you get there. Everybody has different stories about how they got in and what they did once they got there, but all that matters is you win now and you keep going. |
It's almost certain that when it does get cold, assuming it gets cold in the next few weeks, things are going to bounce. The critical question is whether we bounce from $60, whether we hold on to that, or we bounce from something closer to $55. I think we have more to move on the down side. |
It's almost like pitching - you can never have enough catching. There aren't any predetermined things here as far as the roster goes. The possibility of carrying three catchers exists. I'm not saying it's an absolute, but we'll have 10 or 11 days to evaluate it after getting (Ross) in here. |
It's always exciting to play Bloomington. It's good to have a Friday home game, and it will be a great crowd. We also understand it's not the most important game of the season, either. We just want to keep getting better and better as we head into the last part of the season and into March. |
It's an amazing feeling. It's been a rollercoaster of a summer. At the beginning of the tournament, it was a real distant dream. It's now become reality because the lads have put a hell of a lot of hard work in, they believed in their own ability and they've known how to express themselves. |
It's an amazingly liberating thing to be able ... to take your clothes off and not worry about it, because it's not about your body, it's not anything like that, ... (I)t's nice to go out there and have people screaming regardless of whether you look like a Chippendale (male dancer) or not. |
It's an attack on your senses because people come at you in so many different ways. They know who the coaches are. They wait outside the convention center where we collect our tickets. They're pros. ... I've had people standing there with hundred dollar bills fanned out in front of my face. |
It's an event which entered political historical consciousness. If you think back over 20th century Australian history, there are probably only two dozen events which every Australian knows about and talks about, no matter what football code they follow or what side of politics they are on. |
It's another sad note that he has to make the trip down by himself. The grandmother has kids to watch, and the mother - well, she's unavailable. When we were trying to locate Brewer, she was not cooperative. In fact, she told my officers that it was none of their business where her son was. |
It's been a crazy year, nothing that I expected to happen, happened. I am going to come back prepared physically and mentally to be the best quarterback in the league. All I can say is I am going to be ready to go next year, our whole team is. We're all really mad in there but still hungry. |
It's been a total headache, ... We had trouble getting officials because the state (LHSAA) ruled New Orleans officials were unacceptable this season because they have not been going to their weekly meetings and they are supposed to be working for other associations in Thibodaux and Hammond. |
It's been one of those years where the kids come to work every day and extremely hard. If you would have told me at the beginning of the year that we'd win 24 games, win the conference, district and regional championship, then I think most coaches are going to take that and be pretty happy. |
It's been pretty tough. But the coaches have done a great job of keeping the game fun for us. Coach Ingle stresses what he calls 'backyard basketball.' When you've got your best friends playing alongside you, you're playing for more than just the game. You don't want to let each other down. |
It's definitely tough when we think about it, to say we could be 11-0. Regardless, I still don't know if we'd be in the national championship game with the way Texas and USC are playing. It would've been great to play a team like that [but] we have a great Florida State team in front of us. |
