The record is nice but what we really want to make sure is that we win the conference. If you gave me a choice any given year - you are going to have a loss but you're going to win the conference tournament at the end of the year - I would take that. The record is just frosting on the cake. |
The remarkable thing about it is how quickly he was willing to throw [Democratic presidential nominee Sen.] John Kerry overboard in order to help himself in South Dakota, ... For years, Tom Daschle has been telling us one thing here in South Dakota and then doing the opposite in Washington. |
