Obviously, gaining public acceptance is going to be a huge issue, especially when you talk about reintroducing predators. There are going to have to be some major attitude shifts. That includes realizing predation is a natural role, and that people are going to have to take precautions. |
Obviously, our record isn't very good, but we are working hard. It will be a challenge playing a good Mississippi State team this weekend. They have so many returning players, and they've got a lot of guys that have been together for a long time. That shows in the relaxed way they play. |
Of course, it all starts with the kids. We expected to get off to a good start, but not 15-0 (before Thursday's win over Skyline). One through 14, our players work hard to do what they can to help the team. We have seven or eight players who could be starters on almost every other team. |
Oh yeah. We're both athletic. We like to cause turnovers, put pressure on people. We're real similar. There's a lot of different themes that intervene with each other. But when it comes down to it, that just makes the competition level rise that much more. I expect a hard, scrappy game. |
On film we saw them just come up and snap the ball. But [Sunday] he was going into a cadence and when everybody comes up there and he sees blitz, then he throws it deep downfield. Maybe it's because of all the big plays we gave up the weeks before, and they used that to their advantage. |
On the day that He will gather you for the day of gathering, that is the day of loss and gain; and whoever believes in Allah and does good, He will remove from him his evil and cause him to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein forever; that is the great achievement. |
Once Sam took over, he gave me confidence and told me I [would be] playing every day, ... That's what I wanted -- what I had a couple of years ago. I got my confidence back. I think I'll be playing right field for someone, I'll be starting and being a run producer. I thank Sam for that. |
Once the parades have ended and the leftovers are put away, many consumers will find a few precious hours to get a jump-start on the holidays by shopping online. This year, retailers will be reminding shoppers that even though their stores may be closed, their Web sites are always open. |
Once we settled down, I thought we had a chance. But when we were down nine points a few times with a chance to cut it to a five or seven point lead, we couldn't hit from the line. This is our first conference loss, and we have them down at our place in February, so all hope isn't lost. |
One gets the personal satisfaction of achieving a difficult physical challenge ? it is 150 miles on a bicycle in hot/windy conditions, and also of doing something good and noble. It is a complete win-win situation and is one of the most positive experiences in my and my students' lives. |
One of our favorite projects is coffee-filter flowers. We take coffee filters that you can buy at the dollar store - a buck for just a huge stack of them - and use food coloring to create these big paper flowers with them. So that's something that kids or anyone can get together and do. |
One of the things I tell my staff to pass along to their brothers is that I won't come into your house unless I've been called or I need to be there. I do walk fraternity row, but not every day, just to see outside how things look. But unless there's some reason I don't go in the house. |
One of the things we have to reflect on is whether we need some clearer demarcations so that if someone is in the building they know they are in a secure space, ... I don't think it is a big issue but I expressed a reservation to Bill about that and I will take it up with him on Monday. |
One of the three things worrying the markets for weeks -- namely, interest rates -- has diminished, today, ... But the geopolitical incidents and higher oil prices -- which are connected -- have sent a chill through global markets, creating this buyer's strike, and we're following suit. |
One player is not bigger than the team. A some point during the season, we've pretty much had every one of our starters miss time or miss games and we've been fine. It's unfortunate, the timing of some of our injuries but that's the way basketball goes. We have confidence in each other. |
