(McDowell) made up his mind to vote 'No' before he heard one piece of evidence. |
[Charlene Gentile keeps the front of the house under control, and is also responsible for the fine wine list.] We are all family here, ... On some days when the restaurant is closed Charlene and I have the whole staff over to our house. It is a crazy business. It's like an amusement park with the biggest, most incredible roller coaster. We look forward to every day as a special event and the satisfaction we get from experimenting with new ideas, like having the choice of anything in a candy store. |
[Houmas House , 40136 La. 942, Darrow, east bank: Once the largest sugar plantation in the South, Houmas House is one of the most spectacular antebellum homes on River Road. New Orleans businessman Kevin Kelly acquired the property in 2003 and restored it to the golden era the early 1800s.] Many people seem to think everything east of Baton Rouge is gone, ... We need to let the world know we are still here. We need to let New Orleans people know we have a great restaurant, Latil's Landing. Our wine cellar has a 500-label collection. Water cisterns were converted to wine cellars. We placed dining tables in them and people can now have romantic dining there. |
Being a private school and having a player like this helps. It can't be anything but a positive influence on your program. |
Everybody was telling me to stay relaxed, stay focused, don't worry about the first or second one, eventually you are going to get a third one.

He was signing a lot of autographs and doing a lot of interviews. But when he finally came out of the locker room, he had this huge smile on his face, and he hugged his mom and dad. It was the same old Steve that I had known all these years. |
I still had my confidence. I don't think I've ever missed three in a row. |
I tell him sometimes I didn't appreciate him as much as I should have when I was coaching him. But when I spent time putting together his highlight tape for recruiting, wow. His senior year against Archbishop Ryan, he must have broken six or seven tackles on a long run, put a hand down to keep his balance. He's got a heck of a will not to be tackled. |
I think Republicans are going to make it a major campaign issue. |
I think you're going to start seeing guys running in their main events. The performances should start moving up a bit, that's the plan. Hopefully in the next few weeks we see what this team can really do. |
I'm not aware of having to deal with schools that have lost accreditation. Sometimes we deal with schools so new they haven't gone through accreditation process, so you just do best you can with the limited information you have. |
It was close, so it wasn't too nerve-racking, ... I was actually a lot better than I thought I would be. It's kind of different [than practice] right when I go out there and notice all of the people, but it goes away in those couple seconds. |
It was just a matter of me getting my chance again. |
It would be a draw. If there were more things down here, even independent of a baseball game, sure, it's a good idea. It's someplace different to go. |
