I woke up around 3:15 a.m. to this loud clanging and banging. I got out of bed and opened the cabin door, and there was a man in the hall saying there was a fire two floors above us and we had to get the other passengers up and get out. I went back into the room, opened the curtains, and I could see flames and cinders and things falling on our balcony. |
I would say he's one of the more underrated outside linebackers in a long time. He's extremely quick, and he has great instincts. He's really mature and he has great strength at the point of attack. I can remember him as a rookie out of Colorado State and how impressive he was then. I just really think he's one of the underrated players in this league. |
I would suggest that the Nancy Kerrigan story was viewed for what it was - it was a criminal act to one of the future, anticipated stars of the Games. She then stages a comeback. And both of them make the Olympic team? I mean, we got a 48 rating for the short program and a 44 rating for the long program. That was a much more negative story than Miller. |
I wouldn't be surprised to see it start come down slowly, ... I think market trends are going to start driving prices down. I think when prices got to a $3.29 and $3.39 rate, everybody was calling me, saying, 'Why is everyone pricing like that?' The market has never been through anything like this and I think a lot of people didn't know where to price. |
I?m relieved that I got through another amazing Southern Ocean trip in one piece, but also somewhat sad. Every time I get to this part of a round-the-world trip I look over my shoulder at Cape Horn and just wonder: will I be coming down here again? If not, thank you Southern Ocean for letting me cross you safely and for those unforgettable experiences. |
I'm just happy she's been able to have the kind of year, and her team has had the kind of year they've had. Tina desperately wants to win. She loves winning more than anything else. For her team to be No. 1 in the country and to be named the player of the year in the country, it's deserved on all fronts. She's a great kid and, I think, the best player. |
I'm not saying I was trying to get out from his shadow, because we're good friends and we've played on every team together, but everybody thinks I played better after he was gone. I think the team just jelled. And people forget, I hurt my wrist sliding early in Spring Training and I was out four weeks and around the time I got healthy, he got promoted. |
I've been to 19 bowl games and have never seen anything like that in my life. The pep rally was the next night. You don't disrespect the best player on the other team by making fun of his name and have everyone in the audience laugh at him. There wasn't anything I had to do to get this team ready to play. I ought to thank the mayor and people of Boise. |
I've been with him in public; he's almost annoyingly nice, ... He'll sit there and hold a conversation with people that want to talk football. The next thing you know, they're talking baseball, they're talking, 'Where are you from?' That's just the kind of guy he is. Everywhere I go with him, he ends up holding an extended conversation with a stranger. |
I've heard a couple of comments about [Johnny], people saying, 'We hate him; he's so mean.' And I just so disagree with that. That's a silly way of looking at it. Johnny is a guy who does exist. I grew up with guys who weren't all that dissimilar from him. He's a Southern, working-class guy who's trying really hard. You can root for him the entire way. |
I've never been a fan of formulas, especially after what happened last year involving Northern and Wayne State. The one positive thing is that this formula is being applied using new money. In other words, we're not saying we want to give more money to this university and take it away from this university. You would use new money to apply this formula. |
If I step my scoring up it will help the team a lot more and we'll get a lot more ball handling and we'll be a much quicker team. I've always played kind of safe. He wants me to take more chances. I know you get taken out but you always get put right back in once you make an aggressive move even though it's a mistake. I just have to make an adjustment. |

If I wrestle in college it will be as a heavyweight and I'll have to bulk up a whole lot more. In a way, it sucks, but it wouldn't bother me. I'll be able to chow down instead of cutting weight constantly. I've weighed as much as 250 pounds and that's when I maxed out on the bench press at 485 pounds. So I guess being at heavyweight would be all right. |
If it passes, it's almost a resurrection for the governor. It shows he can govern again. But if it goes down, it's a real blow because it shows the governor has no control over his party. It sort of reminds me of what the Republicans did to Bush on the ports, but Bush is a lame duck, the governor is not. He's their best hope in the state for this year. |
