We're going to argue that this statute is literally unprecedented in American history, ... because it is the first time that the federal government will be stepping in and retroactively depriving injured people of their vested legal rights under state law, without providing them any alternative. |
We're going to have some trouble there because he's much more experienced. He's like what you would expect of Terrance Farley as a senior. He's got good offensive moves in the low post; he's very long, rebounds well. So he's someone we're concerned about, and we have to stay out of foul trouble. |
We're going to have to wait a few more years before we can decide where it belongs. The fact that we don't know shows you how hard it is sometimes to tell how they're going to look with the passage of time. When a president makes a bold decision, it carries great opportunity but also great risk. |
We're not as deep as last year as far as the roster is concerned. But because of our players and their versatility, we still have quite a few options. We can move people around and be an effective team defensively. And we have a lot of strength and speed from top to bottom in our hitting lineup. |
We're not into moral victories. Almost isn't enough. We would have loved to win this game. It's very unfortunate that we weren't able to. I guess it will take a couple of days for us to look back and see some of the things we did in spite all of the negative things that were said about our team. |
We're seeing a big increase in recent years in oyster sets on our beaches. A couple years ago we had a big set in Hood Canal. Those oysters are not necessarily available now, but we've increased harvest rates because of the oysters that are going to be available next year and the following year. |
We're seeing record highs across the state right now. It's primarily due to Hurricane Katrina, but previous factors like the rising cost of crude oil before this latest disaster and the fact that nation wide refineries are having things break down thereby creating less supply, were also factors. |
We're starting to gain an identity and a lot of confidence. The game (Sunday) against Ottawa has really moved our game up a notch... You can hear things on the bench, the bantering between players, which is excellent. You can hear the locker room has a lot more life. Our team is starting to gel. |
We're still in February. We still have so much time to go. If we were to be in a stage like this at the middle of March, it would be a different story. I'm not concerned. He can pitch with this. He pitched with it last year and went through some pain. What we want to do is be able to correct it. |
We're taking three days off. We're having a little sleepover, some relaxation. I told them we're starting a whole new season. It's just like the beginning of the year where we have two weeks of practice and then get ready for the game. I'm ready for the tournament and I think the girls are, too. |
We're trying to get her to work on staying low, posting up instead of standing so straight up. I think, [with her] moves, she knows that she can dominate. She's one of the biggest post players in the [Atlantic Ten Conference] so we're just trying to get her to learn all that and put it together. |
We're very comfortable with where our staff is and with where he is. We are very confident that he is at no more risk to pitch here than he would in the Classic. I thought his command was very strong here. When he returns, we are comfortable that he will pitch at the high level that he needs to. |
We're very fortunate to have Eli. We've pressed on through some difficult times his rookie year into this season. He's improved and gotten better as we've gone along here. We've gotten him great experience; experience under fire, obviously, and some very, very big games. And he's performed well. |
We're working with other adaptive sports organizations like the Rockford Chariots, a wheelchair basketball team which competes in Division II of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association. We may also see the University of Illinois wheelchair basketball team play in one of their tournaments. |
We've always been able to get consistent work habits out of our kids. Not just during the year, but during the off-season. To accomplish something like this, you have to be very consistent game in, game out. And we've developed that by working hard each and every week and respecting who we play. |
