I threw a lot of strikes on the outside corner. Usually I'm OK with it, but today I was 80 percent all outside. I was just hitting the spot and hitting the glove. |
I told our players that this is what we can aspire to be like in a year or two. I was proud of the way Joe Redmond ran the offense tonight against a quality team. |
I told parents that if John L. Smith had been there to tell parents how to help their children get on the MSU football team, there would have been a packed house, |
I told the girls I wouldn't have wanted to end my career with 13 other people. We made a good run, and the character of our team showed through from game to game. |
I told them all week we needed to get 400 yards rushing and control the clock. Dunbar has too many athletes and we needed to keep them off the field. They did it. |
I told them we don't deserve to be in the tournament unless we have a good weekend. If we go home with two losses, there's no way we should be in that tournament. |
I told them, 'Don't even think about the camera. It may not even be near you. Just have the party.' And then there's somebody in the middle of them shooting film. |
I told them, 'Sit down, because I've heard you brutalize a guy who won 300 games and three national championships and I know you'll get me one of these days, too. |
I touched the wall and when I saw that I was first it was overwhelming. I hadn't had the best meet going in. Until today actually, I felt pretty bad in the water. |
I tried to instill a realness into them. I wanted to do this from a black point of view. I wanted to show that they're the only people playing on this playground. |
I tried to make a teachable moment out of this -- with the school system, with the judge. But that didn't happen. These people were only interested in punishment. |
I trusted them to find me a mortgage at a good rate. He told me that was the best rate. I took his word for it. But now I know I could have done better than that. |
I try to do the right thing with money. Save a dollar here and there, clip some coupons. Buy ten gold chains instead of 20. Four summer homes instead of eight. |
I understand his decision as much as I hate to see him leave. He's a fine man, and I just can't say enough good things about him and what he meant to the program. |
I understand the need for a countywide plan. But is there a larger cost up the road rather than just a one-time cost. I'm concerned $30,000 is only the beginning. |
