It's a big change for players, but it's a bigger change for the referees. They've grown up not being involved in the third period and overtime. But you can expect good things from our guys. Our mission is the same. There's always that mental side of officiating. We've worked hard to prepare our guys. |
It's a big loss for Stanford, and it's a big loss for the conference. The achievements are truly monumental, looking at it in terms of building the program, hiring outstanding coaches and building outstanding facilities. The one missing facility is the football stadium, and now that's moving forward. |
It's a distinct kicking motion. It was kicked in, and I'm sure we'll get an apology from the league on it. We've had reviews that lasted five minutes. That took two seconds and the guy kicked it in? Come on, I don't understand how a video judge here can make that type of call when it's that distinct. |
It's a journey into the unknown, ... but we will be doing our utmost to get as much information on them as possible. We are going to be underdogs and the fact they won their group last season suggests they are a very good team. We have to be more than wary of them and we will prepare very thoroughly. |
It's a lot different, because everybody stayed together and fought together. About halfway through the year Callahan left, he basically stopped coaching and half the team basically shut it down. That wasn't the case with this team. The coaches fought right up to the end, and the players did the same. |
It's a situation where they felt the pressure on them and they did some things that they don't normally do. We threw the ball away and we were just running around trying to recognize what (the Vikings) were in (defensively). It almost looked like they were very unprepared. Maybe we were a little bit. |
It's a tremendous gift. The generosity that John has shown to the league is overwhelming. This is not the first time either. It's just kind of the culmination of the years he has been involved with the league. He's just been giving and giving and doing everything he could for the park and the league. |
It's a very big workload, but I'm hoping that greater exposure will benefit the players. The level of competition is exciting. I think we're all going to be riding a rollercoaster. In the Super 12 and the Tri-Nations the southern-hemisphere teams have raised the bar. We'll know more after the autumn. |
It's all about confidence. Shooting is a funny thing. It's all mental. Once I was patient and starting to play within the flow of the game, my shooting improved. Last year, with Kelley and Susan being such great shooters, whenever I shot, I felt rushed. I didn't think of myself as an option to shoot. |
It's been a very long time, but I don't know what to say. I had time to think about it but ... I don't know, but probably my first words (are) for Justine. It's disappointing for everybody, I think, for the tournament to end this way, so I'm just hoping you're going to get better and recover quickly. |
It's been a very nice progression. I said for us to be successful it had to be a combined effort of everyone: the players, the coaches, the parents, the administration and the community. There's been a lot of hard work and dedication that's gone into this program. I'm proud to be a little part of it. |
It's certainly more than a technological activity, although we instrument designers certainly use electronic technology as a design tool. But I wouldn't call it an artistic activity. We're toolmakers. Making tools is a craft, maybe even a high craft. I'd say that we are craftsmen rather than artists. |
It's controversial as to whether people should ever have built there in the first place. But here's the critical thing about sea level: We're at a time when sea level is higher than it's been. For the past couple of thousand years, sea level was stable, and now it's increasing. So what's the problem? |

It's going to be a situation where we're going to run a lot of different guys, hardly anyone's going to run in more than two events. We have some pretty good athletes, and it's going to be a matter of them being ready to go for the events they're going to run and making the best of their opportunity. |
