I think what we saw yesterday (Tuesday) was a bounce in the bear market. It could continue. There's no question there are going to be sharp rallies all the way along in here. But I think the trend has been as long as the Fed has been active, we've basically seen a down market with some rallies in it. |
I thought it went very well. This is why it's successful. With all due respect, Arkansas is in a developmental stage. It's in the right direction, no doubt about it. Especially northwest Arkansas, I should say. But cold night, middle of January, for you to have such a show, you got to call a success. |
I thought this would be a tough year for us. We had a lot of new kids and it took longer than I thought for them to pick up our style. But we came together at the right time. Last year, I was more nervous because it was our first time. This year, I was more nervous that we would make the right plays. |
I thought we dominated pretty much the whole game except for two plays in the second quarter, ... I really didn't say much (in the locker room), just to take it one play at a time. It felt like we were winning the ballgame. We played well in the first half, and being down was kind of hard to swallow. |
I thought we got some good looks at the basket. I thought we got some open shots. It turned out we're shooting 3-for-21. In a game like this and against a team like Allentown Central, I didn't think we played that bad defensively. You really have to play good defense when you shoot the ball 3-for-21. |
I thought we had a solid third quarter. We cut the deficit and swung the momentum in our favor. But then we started the fourth slowly. We turned the ball over and they got a couple of buckets and were able to forge ahead by seven or eight. We chased them the entire quarter and just couldn't catch up. |
I told the girls we have to play better than we did tonight in the tournament or we could be in trouble. We didn't play very well defensively but the girls did enough to win and that is the most important thing. Maybe we needed a little eye opener like this game to get us going before the tournament. |
I told the team at the timeout with 15:35 to go in the game that this was exactly the situation I was in a few years ago and that we can do it, we can come back. We just have to take smart shots, treat every possession as if the game is on the line and we can win it. I actually did mention that game. |
I told them that we had done something very special, but that we were going to be a very different football team from that point forward. We were going to wear the bull's-eye on our backs now. We're the hunted instead of the hunters, and we were going to have to be better prepared than ever for that. |
I tried to polish my whole game and be more consistent with the bat. Just get my mind right, mostly. I worked on my mental side of the game. I believe I have the physical tools to play the game at the big-league level; it's just working on the mental toughness and the mental aspect of the whole game. |
I used to walk my dogs down that road just about every evening, and I'd see her (Ms. Evans) sitting alone at her kitchen table reading. Anybody walking or driving by could see an elderly woman living alone in a big house. You just have to wonder if someone needing drug money saw it as an opportunity. |
I want him to be under the same conditions as someone who is on parole for bond-jumping, which usually means you report once a month by mail. The bottom line is that they put Bob on the kind of parole restrictions that are reserved for people who have been convicted of violent crimes, and he has not. |
I want to stress that these are indicative numbers, if tomorrow one of the countries is affected or a new country is affected, these figures will change. If, and we all hope we won't have to, we face human to human transmission, all of these figures would be multiplied by several orders of magnitude. |
I was a nervous wreck all day and tried to be positive to the guys by not showing my skepticism. I love these guys and we've been through too much together. They've hated me at times because of the yelling and screaming. But now with the championship, they'll realize what I was trying to do for them. |
I was happy with the way the district fell. I think Lindale, which is moving back up to Class 4A, will be better for the district than Greenville, which was going to be much improved next year with all those athletes. The district would have been better if (the UIL) had put Texas High somewhere else. |
