It's a big highlight gezegde

en It's a big highlight for them. The kids interact with different communities of homeless people (there). It's very meaningful for the kids. It's good for them to see that these are real people.

en It was very emotional for us. It feels real good because we know all they went through, all they lost. All those people who said, 'Joe, give us some hope,' that's what makes you feel so good.

You're raising a kid and you give it food and shelter and, most importantly, you give it the feeling that it's special.

On the one hand, people think they own kids; they feel that they have the right to tell the kids what to do. On the other hand, people envy kids. We'd like to be kids our whole lives. Kids get to do what they do. They live on their instincts . . .

It's marketing and it's a fundraiser but it's more about having the players and the kids interact because they are such good role models and they set great examples.

en It is a wonderful opportunity for people to learn about the work we do. You know on any given night there are more than 500 homeless kids in Austin and a lot of people don't know that.

en The best player is the point guard. He can shoot the 3 and can beat people off the dribble. Inside, the big kid does a very good job around the basket.

en We all have busy lives, and our kids are in 14 sports and some people have two jobs, so it's just hard to engage people of any race in this kind of work. So you have to create processes that are meaningful and respectful of people's times and commitments.

en When kids hear about business today, it's often not in a flattering light. I would hope that we have presented business to them in a better way.

en Along railroad tracks, you talk to homeless people - kids throw rocks at them.

These were kids that might not have talked to police before that.

en This has been a very special group of kids. They're all great kids. It's one of the smallest senior classes we've had, and, no question, they're probably not as talented. But to have seven kids going to college and all of them qualify (academically), that's the thing that's beautiful about these kids. They're not just good in football. They're good in the classroom, and they're good kids.
