It was an awkward match to go out there and play. I knew I was heavily favored to go out there and win, but with Davis Cup, I've been in enough big ties and been the underdog in that many big matches that it's a different kind of pressure and it sort of levels itself out ... the competition out there. |
It was awesome. It was just so cool seeing Mark out there and seeing how much everybody respects him. I even got a little teary-eyed seeing the banner go up - and that doesn't usually happen with me. It was so great obviously to be able to play with him but also to be part of his banner night as well. |
It was clear that Slobodan Milosevic was not conducting a legal defense to the charges he was facing. Rather he embarked on a political offensive to secure his place in the hearts and minds of his followers back in Serbia. That approach extended the length of this trial far beyond what it should have. |
It was hard for people to step out and say "I am homosexual" in those times, which is what they would have done were they to associate themselves with the movement by pitching in and working for it, because you had to start swimming against the current, and a very cold current it was - and very swift. |
It was hard the first two years trying to get guys to believe we could win. Guys left who didn't believe we could win or didn't want to win. We're a very young team. We're loaded with freshmen and sophomores in terms of numbers, but I think we're finally starting to coach and put some things together. |
It was just a bad game, point blank. Not one guy can leave this field and say that they played well. And I don't care who you are. Everybody needs to look at themselves critically and we need to come back next week, otherwise we're going to lose more games if we don't analyze ourselves and get better. |
It was just before we got (Sullivan) and we were struggling, so I came back early (from a groin strain) and it wound up bothering me for about 10 more games. There was a lot more pressure then, but there isn't as much now. I still want to get back as quick as I can, but the guys are doing really well. |
It wouldn't surprise me if the Fed did stick with the positive and ignore the negative, but I can't imagine them taking out the statement [in their August policy announcement] that says 'labor market indicators are mixed,' ... If they are positive, they still have to retain at least that one negative. |
It?s funny because we were practicing and Eric was flying around the goal and diving for everything. I told him, ?Hey dude, relax, the game?s tomorrow (so take it easy).? But that?s the type of attitude he plays with. I don?t care what anyone else says ? to me, he?s the best goalkeeper in South Texas. |
It's a great satisfaction to be able to be working in what you like, but you have to pay a price. There's a sacrifice to make — a costly one, because your personal life stops being private. You don't see your family. You're traveling all the time. You have to pay a price, but the reward is worth it. |
It's a lengthy process of calling people. We have half a dozen students that work for us just collecting data and compiling it. That information basically gets put on our server. We run some filters on it to make sure it's accurate, and then we feed it out into various Internet tools that farmers use. |
It's a little bit scary putting a uniform back on him after all he's gone through. He's a good guy and he's been through a lot. I had heard from some people going into last fall that it was questionable whether he'd come back, so you really have to tip your hat to him to come back as strong as he has. |
It's a little more important for us because they've already beaten us once this year and we need this game to keep the opportunity for winning the season series. If we lose this game, we lose the season series, there goes our tie-breaker. That would be the third team we have lost the season series to. |
It's a lot easier when you have the crowd behind you, especially when you lose the first set. I know I am able to beat these kinds of players now. I have a lot of confidence from the start of the year. It's a great start to the tournament and I hope to go further to honor the wildcard I received here. |
It's a scary time. I sort of cringe when I see that 10%-move-in-a-day reaction, especially from the upside. I think this industry, from top to bottom, is in trouble. With the Big Three manufacturers in the state they're in, it certainly bleeds down to [suppliers]. The entire foundation is so weak now. |
