Joe Paterno (1924-) |
We were down here in Atlanta every weekend, ... I was here when Sid Bream slid into home [to win the 1992 National League Championship Series]. I saw the 1995 playoffs here. I used to come down here and watch Kent Mercker pitch all the time, now he's a locker down from me. |
We were looking at the camp roster during our (team) meeting (the other) night, Joe and I, and I didn't see many guys (born) in the 1960s. There were some '80s, some '85s. You realize how much older you are, but we're definitely excited to be here and be part of this team. |
We were reluctant about it. We didn't really want to do a photo shoot, we just thought it would be a bit of overkill. Us being on the cover of Time magazine seemed kind of ridiculous, so we said no. But then they ended up putting us on the cover anyway with an old picture. |
We were very pleased with the way the team, players one through 14, played Saturday. Just as soon as we walked into Vermont's gym, there was this abundance of energy. It was great to see them come out on fire after halftime. I just thought we had good control of this game. |
We were very skeptical of the first published reports, and thought that the previous data were not sufficient to support this startling conclusion. But the thrilling new sound recordings provide clear and convincing evidence that the ivory-billed woodpecker is not extinct. |
We were worried about our chemistry, and we were reluctant to make changes because we were winning. But we wanted to put what we thought was the best team out on the field. We're just trying to put the team first, and the girls have accepted all of the changes really well. |
We will be taking one game at a time - there is no other sensible way to do it. As for another long trip, we know this is all part of playing at this standard and the entire squad is looking forward to the challenge, as it has done all season - spirit is as high as always. |
We will do whatever is within our powers to try and get rid of this disease for all of our friends and family...[s]o that our friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers will never have to know what it's like to be so young without a mom to go to for advice or a simple hug. |
We will not rest until we reach a permanent agreement [with the Palestinians] that would secure a safe future for our children and that would provide us with renewed hope to live in a region where people lead a life of co-operation and not, God forbid, where blood is shed. |
We will remain vigilant against any attempt to revive drilling language. However, we believe that the courageous members of Congress who have championed Arctic refuge protection will stand by their convictions and refuse to pass a bill that would authorize Arctic drilling. |
We win those games and we gain confidence going into the playoffs. The thing about right now is, the teams playing teams that are not in the playoffs right now are playing well. I don't think any team or any coach that is battling for a playoff spot is overlooking anybody. |
We wish to thank all of those who took the time to come out on a snowy day and make their voices heard. We put in much effort to get out information so that the voters could make an informed decision and we appreciate the support for our group's position on the referendum. |
We?re making a lot of the same mistakes which is kind of disappointing. Offensively we have some guys who can make big plays. We are getting better in compartments but need to do a better job putting everything together. That comes with experience and better communication. |
We'll let Patrick go this weekend. I felt we needed to give Patrick a shot. Hopefully he'll play great for us and we're all going to support him. We're going to give him all the work in practice. He's got a tough assignment this weekend in trying to lead us against Philly. |
