Speedy I think hit five or six shots in a row. We had it tied a couple times, and we know that they like to come down and play that pick and roll, which is a fake pick and roll. Speedy hadn't hit that many jumpers up until that point, but he was sort of streaky. He hit a couple jumpers, and we never recovered from that. |
Students don't get enough sleep or exercise. They set high standards for themselves. Students can become stressed because of finances or family worries, and just the normal academic demands they have to deal with, especially at this time of year, are all things that affect the amount of stress college students may have. |
Thank goodness Sen. Grassley is providing some adult supervision. It's not just the taxpayers who are harmed by the current Monopoly money mentality in Washington, D.C., but more directly the hurricane survivors themselves. Every penny spent should help the survivors instead of lining the pockets of disaster profiteers. |
That first handoff, it was like, whew, the sky's the limit. At the time, you couldn't have told me we weren't looking at 2,000 yards. But things happen. That keeps you humble and keeps you hungry. It lets you know you can't get the big head. I'd like to think that our struggles last year, being 6-10, made us all better. |
That is another issue that I think we need to get off the table right now. Ownership has been very supportive of what we need to do . . .There is no selling to do, there is no people we have to clear things with. There's nothing. At the end of the day the responsibility of how well we do or poorly we do lies right here. |
That is probably one of the toughest days I've ever had on the golf course. It just felt like everything I was doing was backfiring on me. I was hitting good shots, but nothing seemed to go as planned. I hit a lot of good putts out there, but looked like a terrible putter. We were just having trouble reading the greens. |
That play and those performances had a huge impact. It just changed the whole trajectory of my life. When [Jones] kills that woman at the end of the play, this simple-minded man who is gentle with a little mouse, it just spoke to my little girl's heart. I was the last one out of the theater. I was sitting there weeping. |
That was one of the most bizarre games I've ever seen. I'm not sure what went on out there. I have to watch the film. It was an interesting night. (NBA commissioner) David Stern would fine me for what I'm thinking right now. I'm not going to say it. I'm so out of whack, I don't know who played or did what, I'm confused. |
That will be the challenge, just keeping the adrenaline in check. There's already going to be plenty as it is with the crowd and trying to make an impression to my new teammates and my manager and the coaches. I'll try not to go out and put any pressure on myself and do something special because it's an All-Star lineup. |

That's coming. He's getting a lot better with that with just maturity. He doesn't get as frustrated as quickly and coach is staying with him for longer stretches this year. .... He's got opportunities that a lot of our guys in our program don't have in that he can work his way out of a bad night by just being out there. |
That's not a very good start, I'm afraid. This is a big day for me, an important day, one that when I started thinking about doing this and actually making this appearance, I began to get a little nervous about what's actually happening. Just maintaining your composure is not easy for me, but I'm going to forge forward. |
That's pretty much what it comes down to right now - winning. Our accent now is we just have to win our games. You focus more on games like (tonight). It doesn't matter if it is on the road or at home. You are ready already. . . . You know that night you are going to bring your 'A' game because it's do or die right now. |
That's the game. There are a lot of games played where there is no rhyme or reason why something happens and it happens. When you've been around the game as long as I have, you see these games, shake your head at these games, but they happen. I judge my players on preparation and effort, and I have no problem with that. |
That's too far and in my opinion detrimental. There is no doubt that the dedication is there from a lot of our players. What we needed was the development. You can't build a competitive team around two or three players, you need a fully committed team. We think we can build that now so we're ready to take the next step. |
