It now appears that the last thing many human rights groups really wanted was a thoroughly reformed human rights body at the U.N. - meaning an organization dominated by strong democracies. That would deprive them of an international forum in which to criticize America for its alleged global assault on human rights. |
It probably was a good loss for us. We lost our poise and committed some turnovers we usually don't make. The loss rejuvenated us and tested our faith. We could have easily gone south from there. But we refocused, got things back together, stuck to the covenant, and things have been working in our favor ever since. |
It should be a tremendous experience for our kids on the Ottumwa team. Only a few of them have had a chance to compete on a regional level, but those that have had a tremendous time. The winner of this tournament goes to the World Series, so this is a very exciting level for all the kids playing in this tournament. |
It started in the Stanford game. We matured and got more aggressive, and stopped playing not to lose. Not having any close games in the preseason and the high ranking (No. 9), all of that played into us having to go through some things, which was good for us. We are young, and we needed to have a few growing pains. |
It still came down to Joe getting the hit. It was the biggest hit of the series and the year. He likes the situation. He doesn't get nervous. He enjoys it and he relishes it. He takes pride in getting that hit and has done that for us the last couple of weeks. There is no one I would rather have up there right now. |
It stood out because we know he can play. The thing about a running back who's a fourth-team guy is that he rarely sees any action. Q doesn't play special teams. Chances are, he wouldn't have played this year. So, we went in a different direction. I know he's a good player and I hope he gets picked up. He can play. |
It takes three years to make or break the program. We're in a year where we need to start getting this done. We've got a lot of tradition and history. That doesn't get us to the tournaments or sell as many brochures, but in reality, we're used to competing. This group, I think, is really going to make a run for it. |
It was a good learning experience since we have several players who have never played before. They have had two matches and 10 on-court practices and this was our first match of the season. And we have had five on-court practices, so we did respectably. I think we can take at least a few matches off them next time. |
It was a great basketball game. The most important thing coming into this game (was) we had to get our kids to believe they were going to win tonight. I think we had a great week of preparation this week. Our kids were really focused. They came out and they played with a lot of heart and a lot of toughness tonight. |
It was a gutsy performance by my guys tonight. San Jose State played extremely well in the first half. They dominated us on the boards. We've been close so many times, and we've been growing every week, with much of the growth in the effort department. In overtime games, we've had three, and this was our first win. |
It was a pretty wild experience, ... Watching the team come out there and warm up in blue and I didn't think too much of it, to tell you the truth. And they came out, and I remember the big Trojan horse and remember the team coming out there in those green jerseys and knowing this was going to be something special. |
It was a rare opportunity in this league to take on two elite teams on back-to-back nights, playing teams with two different styles and come away with two wins. For them to display so much energy on two straight nights shows their mental toughness. It's definitely a credit to our team. The guys gave a great effort. |

It was just something I had to get taken care of. The hardest part is overcoming that fear that something could happen. But once I gain the confidence and the strength, everything will fall into place. Until then, I have to keep working hard and hopefully the pain will go away enough for me to do what I need to do. |
