[Has he Super Glued a room lately?] No, ... Haven’t done much of that lately. Now it’s telling guys why they can’t do things like that. |
[If Missouri State (formerly Southwest Missouri State) makes good on that chance, well, Long might not make it back to Springfield that night with the rest of the team.] If we pull off an upset, ... I might hang around the field a little while. |
[Long will deliver that message more often this week than Cliff Clavan delivered mail to Cheers.] I can tell my players, ... Yes, we can go in there and win. Let’s not just get our guarantee and go to the house. That’s why they just didn’t take the win and send us a check. There is a chance we can win the football game. |
[Now it’s Long doing the punishing if one of his Bears behaves unbearably.] They’ll say, ... Coach, you don’t understand.’ ‘ Yes, I do understand. I was there once. I shouldn’t have done it then and you don’t need to now. |
[They sure did in ‘92.] The Citadel came in that day, ... and had a great plan. They didn’t make any mistakes. At least I don’t remember them making any because it seems we made all of them. It just shows you that’s it’s possible. |
[To live his greatest day as a coach, Scott Long would have to relive his worst day as a player. The defensive ends coach of those 1-AA Missouri State Bears stepping up to play 1-A Arkansas in Saturday’s 6 p.m. season opener at Reynolds Razorback Stadium, Long was a starting Arkansas senior defensive tackle in 1992 when The Citadel of 1-AA stunned Jack Crowe’s Razorbacks, 10-3 in the season opener in Fayetteville.] I talked to somebody about that yesterday, ... A reporter brought up that you are a I-AA school going to a 1-A and you have no chance. You can look at it all on paper like that. But it comes down to a group of 18 to 23-yearolds from Arkansas versus a group of 18 to 23-year olds from Missouri. That’s why we have to play it out and see how it comes. Every year things do happen. |
As mayor of Warsaw, President Kaczynski opposed the right of lesbian and gay people to basic freedoms and equal respect. As president, he will determine whether Poland protects rights or chips away at them. Europe is waiting for the answer. |
Equality and respect for all are central to Europe's democratic tradition. Bans on gay pride marches and thinly veiled calls for censorship send a message that minority rights are at the mercy of the majority. They violate Poland's European and international obligations. |
Fifty-two lives, 52 reputations and 52 human beings are being damaged. This is what is brutal about this. |
Human rights are not a popularity contest. |
Human rights are not a popularity contest. Letting this march proceed is an international obligation. If prejudice is allowed to trump the rights that all citizens should enjoy, then everyone's freedoms are ultimately endangered. |
I talked to somebody about that yesterday, |
I was glad to see [the report] talked about issues of discrimination. |
I would like to know what's changed in the United States' position in the past four years. It's clearly not an issue of pedophilia. It's an issue of homophobia. |
I wouldn't be doing my job as a coach here, ... if I said,'I don't think we could.' I think we have enough talent to win the ballgame if breaks go our way. Now if breaks go their way, they have plenty of talent to make sure we don't win the ballgame. |
