I was always amazed that he had this uncanny knack for being able to pluck a Canadian angle out of almost any overseas story. He was a very gentle man, but had a bulldog's tenacity when it came to chasing down the Canadian angle. |
I was born into a drug infested environment back in October of 1984, ... I witnessed things that many only see in movies. I saw a lot of gang violence and drug use while I was growing up. I used to see people dying all around me. |
I was confident going into yesterday that we could get [the qualifying time], and I was ecstatic once I knew we did it. This team is all ready to go to the next level. We have a good chance to be No. 1 [at the A-10 Championship]. |
I was fortunate enough to play an exhibition game there, so I've seen the place before, I know how it is. It's sold out every night, and the fans are really into it. It's just a great place to play, and I'm looking forward to it. |
I was going for the world record . . . but I wasn't feeling my best all week, so it was hard to determine what would happen. I could not believe it. I went into shock. I'm still in shock. I don't think I'm unbeatable - nobody is. |
I was happy with our up front play both offensively and defensively. For early on, I thought we picked up on most, if not 70 to 80 percent, of our line blocking assignments so I have to be pretty pleased with that after one week. |
I was happy with some of the spurts we had. I thought we did some good things defensively in the second half. There was just that breakdown around the 6- or 7-minute mark where we let them make some plays, and we stopped playing. |
I was impressed with his effort to get the ball in the paint. We thought we could push him around and make him stay outside. We leaned on him, but he kept fighting to get inside position. He made his foul shots, and that hurt us. |
I was impressed with the overall level of talent. But look, the bottom line is we've got a great bunch of guys at the camp that want to have fun and learn. We're going to make sure they have lots of fun, I can guarantee you that. |
I was in a zone, and I knew I could get down the field in those last two minutes. I felt like if they gave me the ball, nobody was going to tackle me. I haven't had it going like that in a long time. It was an incredible feeling. |
I was in one big rush, that's probably why I'm taking so long. I should have just taken my time in Spring Training and I'd probably be ready now. I want to be out there. I wanted to throw more today, but we're going step by step. |
I was just feeling it. Every time I touched the ball, I felt great. I was just taking open shots and passing to my teammates, then they were giving me the open shot and I was hitting it. They weren't guarding me - they let me go. |
I was just so proud of our game wardens that work for Texas Parks and Wildlife who stepped up and went to another community and did what part they could to save lives, ... It speaks well of the caliber of men and women out there. |
I was just trying to make the tackle. That guy's like 280 pounds. I just cut the dude. The crowd goes crazy, and I actually thought he had run over me and scored. It was just one of those lucky plays where my helmet hit the ball. |
