I think we understand we're officially in October baseball. But we discussed it last year and again this year. It just doesn't seem right to celebrate it when the magic number is one. You're watching the number go 10, 9, 8 ... and it gets to one so you celebrate? When it gets to zero, you celebrate. That's what we're going to do. |
I think when I get through and I'm gumming my food, it will mean a lot ... As far as today, it would give these kids, these coaches and this university something we haven't done since we've been here. Secondly, it gives you a chance to play for a national championship and that doesn't happen many times in peoples' lives, if ever. |
I thought of my knee, ... and I jumped. He missed me, but I landed directly on my (right) knee. When I first landed, I didn't feel anything. I was happy. I was relieved he didn't hit my leg. But when I got up, I instantly felt it. When I got in the huddle, I looked at Davone (Bess, the left slotback), and I told him my knee hurt. |
I thought that we did pretty well considering we didn't have many people participating because of the vacation and the Spanish trip. That's the problem with a small school. So I didn't really expect much. Under the circumstances I thought we performed well. We're looking forward to the [home] meet this Thursday with Hampton Bays. |
I thought, 'My God, every tiny little thing, every moment that I did, Fosse caught.' He caught a total performance that could have been nothing, but he found these pieces and put them together to make it the one thing that I don't really have, which is a film of what I really do. I'm an animal of the stage. I was bred to be that. |
I try to be organized, detailed and I feel it's important to get as much done in one day as possible. I learned a lot of that from my basketball coach in high school, Billy Mitchell. I'm pretty quiet, but you have to lay down the law when you have to. I try to treat the athletes with respect and I expect to get respect in return. |
I used to 'glut,' as in eating too much that it made me sick. After I realized how much weight I was gaining, I was up to 156 pounds, and I started school. I learned about wellness. I learned about the food pyramid guide and what are the portion sizes. So I listened and followed eating portions and exercised. Now I am glad I did. |
I wanted my team to specialize in particular areas and stick with particular functions, but that wasn't me. And Mike wanted to be more sensitive to his team and be more collaborative, but that wasn't him. Ultimately, it's not a matter of which style works better than the other. It all comes down to which style works best for you. |
I wanted to be a minister when I first went to college. You see, I was very shy as a kid, and couldn't figure out how to communicate with people. I guess I was trying to get people to listen to me, but I thought I was interested in religion. I realized very quickly that I just wanted to move people and be the center of attention. |
I was going to after-Oscar parties. I was mingling with the Hollywood crowd. It's really easy to become distracted when you have opportunities to do that kind of stuff. There's no way I would ever turn that stuff down, but it's important for me to realize why I'm here, what I'm trying to do and the goals I'm trying to accomplish. |
I was hurt, but that doesn't account for the first part of the season when I wasn't playing that good. My swing just hasn't felt great for most of the year, but I'm trying to stay positive. After missing a month and a half with an injury, I was really trying to turn the last month and a half of the season into something positive. |
I was just thinking about that to myself a minute ago. It seems like, later on in the game, we start squaring balls up a little bit more. We do a better job of hitting late in the game. The secret would be to be able to do that all game long. And we haven't been able to do that. I can't put my finger on it. I really wish I could. |
I was privileged to have known the chief justice for many years and to have had the pleasure of serving with him on the Smithsonian Board of Regents. We also have shared a love for the beautiful land and the independent people of Vermont, a place that served as a special refuge for the chief justice and his family over the years. |
I was raised by my grandma and grandpa in Florida. My grandpa was a Primitive Baptist minister, and all of these ladies, I know. This is like coming home. It's a joy to experience this young girl going through what she needs to go through to get to a place of comfort. To watch someone grow up and the village extend itself to her. |
I was very unhappy with the lack of situational awareness I had in the couple of days after Katrina. I never want to be in the position again where I don't have real eyes on the ground to tell me what is going on in no uncertain terms as opposed to waiting to get reports coming through the media or inconsistencies from the field. |
