He had been given a strong faith through his parents. As an adult, in his teen years and early college, he kind of got away from the church, and ended up going to St. John's University in Minnesota. Tom was very intellectual, enjoyed the discourse with monks, had a lot of questions, and I think the monks provided a great insight into the faith he had grown up with and somehow had been missing. |
He is a very good player. And I thought we did well to guard him. He got some of those points off loose balls that we collapsed on and didn't get and he got passes in situations where he could score, but that's just how basketball works. But I thought we did well guarding him. We didn't allow him to penetrate too much and we kept him from hurting us off the dribble like he is capable of doing. |

He was hanging tough on my service games and broke me at 6-4, 3-2, ... I had to be careful not to let the momentum shift, and at the end I had to play some tough points to stay in control and close it out...Murray has a big repertoire of shots, a lot of qualities, however, he's got to figure out how he wants to use his potential. If he works hard he'll be a good player. I was impressed by him. |
He's creating, there's no question, but he's getting good looks, ... He hasn't been hit and stymied initially very often. We've been able to get him started, and getting him through the line of scrimmage is an outstanding thing for him because he's an exceptional runner. He deserves a tremendous amount of credit, but our offensive line has given him, I think, some consistent looks at the hole. |
He's just so creative in practice. He's one of the fastest, if not the fastest guy in college hockey. He's just got such a good sense of awareness and hockey sense. You've got to realize that he's young and it's tough coming in as a freshman. Even as good as you are, it's an adjustment. He's really caught on here the last couple of weeks and he's just going to get better as the season goes on. |
He's surrounded by great skill, ... Between Eric Moulds and Lee Evans, they have two outstanding receivers, and [third wideout] Josh Reed is a fine player in his own right. They have a balanced attack. McGahee's one of the hotter rushers in football. . . . [Losman is] a very athletic guy. He's a number one draft pick. He's in his second year in the system and clearly he's a very good prospect. |

However, for hogs and poultry, the question is whether the increased price of corn will be offset by added value in the feed product that is returned. If not, this could mean some restructuring of the location of the U.S. and world animal industries. This appears to be particularly true for the eastern Corn Belt and the southeastern United States where hog, poultry and dairy are more dominant. |
Hurricanes and extreme weather have elevated the demand for proven weather barrier products. The increased capacity at our new manufacturing site will allow us to bring our products to market faster and service growing opportunities in the South and nationwide. The new Tennessee location sits in a strong labor market and has an extensive transportation network to support our growth businesses. |
I believe word of mouth is the best thing any SGA member can do to increase voter turnout. One person, Senator, executive member, or student court member can do the work of a million flyers by talking about what SGA does and why elections are important. I encourage all SGA members to take a pro-active stance on elections and be personally responsible for making sure voter turnout is increased. |
I didn't think it would be such a big issue, but it's a big issue, let's face it. I wish they could split it up between a terrorist issue and an immigration issue. I can feel for the people, I guess it must be pretty bad down there (Mexico). In L.A., I would expect it, certain places in Texas. And the numbers! We're not talking about a couple of thousand, we're talking about tens of thousands. |
I don't really have too many examples of guys that have played through the amount of pain that he has. Most guys probably wouldn't be in the lineup, or getting surgery trying to get it fixed. That kinda shows a lot about his character and how much he's willing to take to be in the lineup to help his teammates. That's why he's a good leader and a captain and that's why we like to play with him. |
I don't want to say they're about as opposite as you can get, but they're on different ends of the spectrum in a very positive and good way. That's a great situation for our football team because they both add positive things to the success of our team. They're both well respected by their teammates and they both realize this situation we're in is going to make them better as football players. |
I had been working as a studio musician very intensely all through the 1970s, and I really never left LA. I would just get up in the morning and work on an amazing amount of records. But then Billy Payne and I were playing with Bob Seger in 1986 or '87, and he told me they wanted to put the band back together. We had all been friends and colleagues since 1967, so I just said, 'Sign me up, man. |
