We just can't afford to lose these schools. . . . They need special attention, and they need it urgently. They are a major part of the national strategy to close the education gap and have long been engines to the black middle class -- producing doctors, teachers, lawyers. |
We just didn't play championship-type football when we needed to. At some points we did, at some points we didn't, whether it's on offense or defense. Playing like that, we wouldn't even win a game in the playoffs. We've just got to re-evaluate a lot of things around here. |
We just kind of kept grinding. I was pleased with that: that idea about being a grinder and not getting discouraged and everything's not perfect, but you believe in yourself and you don't blink and you don't flinch. That's got to be part of our M.O. as much as our schemes. |
We kind of made an adjustment on that play because we told Drew to look back side. We were going to run a curl, but we said if they bring their safety down we can get a post behind them. We thought that's the one thing we have with Josh, that he could be a great playmaker. |
We knew there were a lot of expectations but we didn't let the pressure get to us. We just had fun with it -- we just do what comes natural and enjoy the ride. We're fortunate to have a great chemistry. When we get together, we get the Judas Priest sound -- that's success. |
We knew they were a good team. But we just didn't tackle. We weren't aggressive enough. They came off the ball and just physically whipped us inside. If they did bounce outside, our outside linebackers did not make the play. It just was not a good night defensively for us. |
We knew we had a terrific combination of films led by some of the biggest stars in the world, created by some of the top filmmakers in the business today, and we're thrilled that the audience responded in such a big way. We look forward to continuing the success this fall. |
We knew we had a tough road ahead of us, but we've been through a lot together through the years. Winning four NIC titles was great because it hasn't been done very often. However, winning the sectional is just as satisfying since it's something we haven't done for awhile. |
We know other teams are going to give us their best shot. It's just how mentally prepared we are. And when another team goes on a run and gets the momentum, how do we respond? Do we lay down or do we raise our intensity? In the second half tonight, we raised our intensity. |
We know the shortcomings regarding communications with people from the New Orleans-Mississippi area. And that's hopefully all we'll be dealing with. It's been more of that for Greg, just a lack of being able to communicate, rather than anything we know is physically wrong. |
We look at interesting-looking people, quirky characters. We need to have a mix of a young hot things and mature, middle-aged; serious, not so serious stars; some big names, a couple of Bs (B-list stars) and some Cs, with personalities that complement the rest of the cast. |
We looked at every GPS system, and are excited to be the first in our area to offer this great amenity to our customers. This is a tremendous tool to manage the courses... and we can pay for a great part of the system through GPS Industries' Guaranteed Advertising Program. |
We lost early in the season ? Northwest and Northeast both beat us by one ? and our only district loss was to Nashville Christian, and it was the worst we hit the ball all season. We're coming along and the kids are playing with a lot of confidence and that's what we need. |

We manage what we call their ARP [automatic replenishment program] program, keeping those titles [in stock] that you only turn 50 or 100 of a year, or every few months. That's a major advantage for using digital print to keep the runs short and their inventory low as well. |
