It's the only way to judge them, throw them in those games. We are required to play eight veteran players, and we'll probably have the minimum the first couple of games. As camp moves on, because we haven't played in a while, those last three of four games, I'd like to have the lineup kind of set. |
It's the same as it always is. Every year, the draft has kind of its own little personality and what it becomes. And this one has its own unique one. It's strong in some areas and deficient in others. And we're (the Lions) strong in some areas and deficient in others. We've just got to match them. |
It's time consuming at times. If I were the recruit, I'd probably go nuts if I got a lot of them. I'd probably delete all but three or four. But some kids really like getting text messages. They like to know you care about them. Every kid wants to feel important. It's a nice way to encourage them. |
It's tough losing the one and two-goal games and not having that extra bit we need to put us over the top and get the win. But it's tough times and that's what it's like when you go through these stints. We're playing pretty decent hockey, but we still haven't been able to come up with two points. |
It's tough to do both, but (Sumrall) has done a good job in the classroom, he's been through spring ball before and he's established the fact that he's one of the guys (in football) and he loves track. It's a great cross training thing and it helps us. I like his toughness and his competitiveness. |
It's tough. The whole team's looking up at the shots and you know the scoring chances are so much in their favor. You don't have anything going offensively. The defensive zone is sloppy. When you don't have anything going for you, it's hard to come back. It's hard to dig yourself out of that hole. |
It's very psychological when you begin the season. It seems like guys are too impatient and don't realize how long the season is. You fret when you don't have to. You start to doubt yourself. I've been in that position one too many times. But so far I've been fortunate enough to have good at-bats. |
It's very similar. He's a centre that can make plays if he's got good wingers. We think we can provide him with the winger part of it and the rest is up to him. There are no promises, just an opportunity. I'm very hopeful he can come in and make the best of that. That forces us to make a decision. |
It's very unlikely that Intel would win, ... But once Intel does release that chip, AMD will have the challenge going forward of demonstrating that its dual-core technology is superior to that of Intel, while Intel will be saying to its customers, 'If you want a dual-core processor, we've got it.' |
Jay has proven he can coach at this level. What you will see with most MAC schools is that there will be good years followed by down years. That's something that will be taken into consideration. Jay is the only coach in the MAC to win two titles in the 2000s. We'll do what's best for the program. |
Jeff has more experience running the offense but Brandon brings a style that is hard to defend and he makes things happen out there. I don;t know that I'll name a starter until probably the day before the game. They are very close and what I'm hoping is that one of them will breakout by midseason. |
John did a real good job staying ahead of the hitters most of the time. He was also able to get the curve ball over against certain hitters. I really liked the way he competed. He got seven innings in against a team that beat Coleman 12-5 and beat Jim Ned 6-4. I'm real proud of the way he pitched. |
Jordan elevated his game once again toward the second half of the year, as he's done before. He's the leader for us in the locker room and he carries that onto the ice with him. I believe our guys play a little extra hard with him in the nets. At this time of year I wouldn't trade him for anybody. |
Judge Holloway said this process has gone on long enough, and she will be looking to the special adviser to help determine an equitable resolution. This is another step in the process, and the judge seemed to recognize the need to accelerate the proceeding and the special adviser can help do that. |
Just when we were sure mortgage rates couldn't possibly drop any lower, we were surprised yet again. Current issues such as the possibility of military actions abroad, heightened terrorism alerts, and an unexpected drop in consumer confidence contributed to the decline in mortgage rates this week. |
