I love playing basketball and I wanted to give this a try after graduating from college. I got my degree but I wanted to keep playing for a while. So far it's been a great experience. But I'd really like to take it to the next level and see where I fit in. Plus, finally, after all these years, it's nice to get paid to play. |

I never once got to the point where I said it's time to move on and go somewhere else and thought it was going to be better, ... Because trust me, if you have problems here and you take that baggage with you, it will be the same thing over and over again. So I had to get myself together before I really tried to do anything. |
I played a lot of different combos than I usually do, because I wanted to make sure the seniors got a lot of playing time. I put some players at different positions just so I could get them in, so it kind of threw our offensive movement off a bit. I was pleased overall with the effort, and we got out of it with no injuries. |
I probably made the best race start of my whole life, Valentino got away well too and we went together into the first bend. Elias came up on the inside and I actually saw everything happen but to be honest I thought Vale would be able to stay on the bike so I kept my corner speed and tried to just run it around the outside. |

I really think the race before (an allowance victory) was when he the light bulb went on, where he actually showed a middle-move acceleration, like he was getting it all figured out. I said six weeks ago I didn't feel like I could get to a mile and an eighth fast enough. Our main goal is still the Arkansas Derby and beyond. |
I really thought it could go either way today because I was pretty tired and drained out still getting over the jet lag, and wasn't sure what I was capable of doing. I was really looking forward to this race and I really like this course. I knew I had great skis and when I hit the start line I just told myself to go for it. |
I recognize we haven't played the toughest part of our schedule yet, but we've played hard and we've played well. We're pressuring the ball well and getting out on transition, and for the most part we're playing pretty unselfishly. In (a 70-61 victory over South Urban Academy on Dec. 21) we had four girls in double figures. |
I regard the recent barrage in the press as an unjustified attempt to discredit me and deeply disappointing. I believe the current atmosphere could only realistically lead to a bitterly and publicly fought takeover battle which, in my opinion, would now have a very damaging effect upon Marks & Spencer's employees and brand. |
I remember if I could make my pitches, I could get [Sandberg] out in an area. But if I didn't, he made you pay every single time -- it wasn't like a couple times. He had a sweet spot that made him who he was. I would say that game sticks out more than most because when you give up two home runs to somebody, you remember it. |
I remember that perfect game I threw when I was just out of high school. Nobody would talk to me . Nobody would go near me. I remember the feeling vividly. I remember the ballpark and everything. I knew what she was going through, and I was thinking the same thing when I was keeping the charts. I was pretty anxious for her. |
I remembered Autumn's grandmother telling her that she has to be the woman of the family when Antoinette went to jail. And she was the glue of that family, a bright, witty and special little girl. She would bring laughter to everyone when things were down, and she was so aware and perceptive of what was going on around her. |
I said before the season that I think we should be a playoff team. I don't think a lot of people felt that way outside of our organization. We aren't [deep] enough to have people out [with injuries] as long as we did, but I don't like to use that as an excuse. I still think we should be a little better than what we've been. |
I saw the game against England 12 months ago and thought the lads did really well for 45 minutes, but there have been many changes since then. And even from my first game in charge against Germany in February we have seen Lewis Price, David Vaughan, Richard Duffy, Joe Ledley and James Collins all move into the senior squad. |
