I was over in Orange Beach this past weekend and all people wanted to know was when was the Isle going to open. I've gotten calls at my home from Atlanta, Arkansas, Jacksonville, Fla., and Lafayette, La. |
I was playing golf in Florida the day before this happened. I had the best round of the offseason -- I shot a 78 -- and I was making some money off my friends. I figured I'd keep getting better, then ... |
I was quite the spoiled brat. I have quite a temper, obviously inherited from my father, and I became very good at ordering everyone around. I was the princess; the staff were absolutely terrified of me. |
I was really happy with the way we battled back. We had a great crowd and it was just a nice atmosphere for Senior Night, our last home game. I still think we're making strides, but Larkin's a good team. |
I was relaxed the whole time. I'm never nervous when I'm tournament fishing. To me it's fun and relaxing. I didn't get a little nervous (Sunday) until I got up on the stage with the other five finalists. |
I was right back to work the middle of the day Monday, in the gym, and practiced yesterday with no lingering effects from last week. And that's a major step for me, that I'm feeling better, I'm stronger. |
I was scared to death. C.J. had a double-double against them the first game, but I knew we weren't the same team and they hadn't lost on he road in the conference. It was the ultimate underdog situation. |
I was telling the truth, I said I was very, very worried. At that time I was in the midst of trying to get a way whereby this would not happen. And it has happened. My words have been proved to be right. |
I was told by several people that central administration wanted me out. Even people from other schools told me. If I didn't resign, I would have been fired. I don't think anyone wants to go through that. |
I was trying to get the last shot, that's what Rick (Carlisle) told me. That was my main focus. But A.J. (Johnson) made a heads-up play. His man (Gordon) got caught sleeping and he made a back-door play. |
I was very proud of our defensive effort tonight. They (David Lipscomb) did have an impressive drive on their first drive, but our kids did a good job. They figured out some things, and they played hard. |
I wasn't happy about it. But to say something like that would eliminate me from ever considering (the Braves), no. It's not about me and him. It's about me and my family. That's the more important issue. |
I wasn't happy with it at all. I thought I would go faster than what I did last night (in the semi-finals) so it's pretty disappointing. I didn't swim as fast as I did last night. It's as simple as that. |
I wasn't worried about anybody catching me from behind. I knew if I jumped it, the only person who had a chance to catch me was Maddox. I don't know what he runs in the 40, but I wasn't worried about it. |
I went for some stupid shots and was not patient enough. If you don't take your chances and she starts to feel she's getting on top, it's so hard to stop her. I didn't play the right shots the right way. |
