I tell you what, I'm proud of our kids. I felt like we had a great year. We got ourselves in an opportunity to get into the playoffs in a three-way tie for second in one of the toughest districts around. You can't ask for more than that. We battled and played hard the whole way. I'll tip my hat to those guys [Heritage] — they played well. |
I think California is going to be a really good race because obviously the championship has been decided, but second, third and fourth are up for grabs. There's going to have to be some big things happen for those positions to change. Then I think you have the fifth through 10th pretty close. I think everybody's going to be going for broke. |
I think he may be a little tired, to be honest with you. He's in his first year doing it. I think what's affecting him right now is his location -- and you usually don't see it in velocity, you see it in location. ... At this time of year, definitely, you've got to make sure you don't just throw him out there when he may not be at his best. |
I think his workout will be a side show. It's not going to show you anything. The injury is what it is. He's not going to get back significantly sooner or later than anybody else with that injury. We really won't know anything until he hits the field again and we see what he can do. But someone will take him pretty high and take the chance. |
I think once people see it on TV, it's going to soften their tone on it. They may not like it. They may not buy the DVD or go spend the five bucks and rent it at Rogers or Blockbuster or whatever. But, they're gonna think, 'Hmmm, it's not as bad as I thought it would be.' I honestly believe people will have that opinion come Monday morning. |
I think one thing that we have to do is we have to kind of just focus in on how we are on that field. That's kind of our domain. That's our place and when we're out on that field, you really can't tell who's disgruntled, who's upset, because everyone is kind of in their realm. And they get an opportunity to take a step forward and have fun. |
I think that an effective CEO is a generalist in many ways—one that can represent the company well to the customers, to the investors, to the community. You also have to represent yourself well as a leader at all levels of the organization. One of the things I have learned since my younger days is that everyone in the organization counts. |
I think the better option is to be in a chain-link area. But I also realize that would be putting a burden on each person if we made that a requirement, ... I doubt if a normally docile dog would become violent (by being chained up for short periods). I understand their message. It just brings to light that having a pet is a responsibility. |
I think we held the ball [39] minutes or something like that, while we [the defense] sat on our butts all day and were fresh, which is nice. Ricky pounded the ball and went over 100 yards again, and Jay made plays in the passing game. The offense did a great job and put up plenty of points. I just know it's a lot easier to play with a lead. |
I think you get this certain stigma that ?This guy can do a lot of things,? but you just want to be able to help the team, ... It?s fun because it?s something different. It breaks up the year a little bit when you go over there in offensive meetings or another meeting to learn a different position. It makes everything go by a little faster. |
I thought if we could've just hit five more of those free throws, we'd have been in good shape. If you'd have said we'd get 86 points, I'd of thought we'd have a win. We shot the ball fairly well, but we didn't get the stops we really needed. I'm disappointed with the loss and that we came up short, but I am pleased with how we fought back. |

I thought that we had a very good effort today. We knew coming in that Notre Dame would get its share of penalties. And, because our power play has been so effective this year (a close to 50-percent completion rate), we figured that we'd get some goals that way. But, again, it goes back to the bounces and the luck. We need to find a little. |
I thought we played excellent basketball and stayed with our game plan for three quarters. We've got kids that don't have enough playing experience. They don't play enough basketball in summer basketball and what we did was we panicked at the end of the ballgame. Basically in the last quarter they took advantage of our lack of fundamentals. |
I understand Equity's position, ... but my heart goes out to the actors who were going to get to go to Ireland with the show. It's a group of fine actors who would have had a chance to be exposed to the international stage. I would have paid great money to see [Rea] do it, and I would have paid great money to see these actors do it with him |
