It's difficult to do your job appropriately if you are completely divorced from the majority of your staff and the office for considerable periods of time. The offices are there and it's important for the office holder to be present in those offices at least a significant percentage of the time. |
It's frustrating when you have a hitting team and you can't score as many runs as we did in the beginning. There's been a lot of changes, a lot of new guys [since last year]. Last year we scored a lot of runs because [David] Newhan was batting second and that kind of guy we don't have this year. |
It's going to be a tough game for us, but it's one that we have to win, one that we must win. We must win. We have to get it going and I think we can. Watching our guys (Monday) in practice, I thought they really stepped it up. I thought the effort and intensity and emotion was definitely there. |
It's great to go into a negotiation like this with a major international meet just having taken place and an amazing performance there. That's helpful. The other thing Ryan has going for him is the timing is great. There's two-and-half years until Beijing so there's plenty of time to market him. |
It's important to us, and I think it's even more important to us that we've been able to move up into the upper bracket and win it last year and play for the title this year. We knew if we got to the championship game and were fortunate to beat Cabell Midland that we would face a very good team. |
It's in the eye of the beholder. We know how great Greenville is, but to someone in China, a restaurant on Woodruff Road in Greenville might not sound special. This will be very interesting. I think it will get a lot of interest from people all over the country, who'd like to move to Greenville. |
It's kind of come full circle. It's a confidence that someone is going to get there and hit the quarterback, and it's a confidence that someone is going to cover and the quarterback is going to be forced to hold the ball. It's all working together, and it's reflected now in how we call the game. |
It's kind of disappointing. Florida State was a big win, but it doesn't mean anything after that if you come back and lose. We just want to keep moving on forward and winning. We're at home, and we shouldn't be losing games like this -- especially with the mistakes and mental lapses that we had. |
It's like (Dickens') 'A Tale of Two Cities,' 'it was the best of times, it was the worst of times,' ... If you get away from the stock noise, the economy is recovering, manufacturing is picking up, you've got the services report this morning. But the market just wants to ignore this information. |
It's no secret we are in the process. We said very publicly prior to our game against Uruguay a couple of weeks ago that once that game was out of the way, we would set about getting on the road, meeting with a number of different people with a view to making an appointment before the World Cup. |
It's not a matter of just technical competence, it is imagination. It's creativity. It's intellect. A problem solving mentality. ... We must have the best talent, the most talented people. And that said, we'd better keep them when we get them, as well as we can, because we're going to need them. |
It's not much different than high school. You're not one of the cool seniors yet - as a sophomore you're sort of toiling out there with everyone else, waiting for the gains that come with seniority. In three years, most members of Congress are not going to have a lengthy track record of success. |
It's one of those things where you try not to get too down on yourself as an organization because we could have put them away. Who knows, if we had done that, he might not have come back. But we're in a situation right now where we kind of made our bed and now we've got to do something about it. |
It's really two shows -- the world inside the Kit Kat Club and the world outside -- and I think it's going to be a major event. Our space lends itself to an intimacy that's unique. Seeing it in the O'Reilly will be an experience -- intimate and immediate with no gulf between audience and action. |
