He's having just a great season. Brian, every night, every game, he's there giving his best. Sometimes, he's having a tougher night. ... I understand that you can't be at your max every game. I can understand that. I think very easily with that type of player, he'll be there next game. He's going to come back, and if he gets some chances, he's going to score. |
He's probably never going to get to a point where he feels great the rest of the season. But I think his confidence level is high. It's good to see him take the amount of shots he took. He put up 11 3s on the road. It was great to see him confidently shoot the basketball and it was great to see him move to the next shot, even when he missed a couple in a row. |
Historically, it was the primary source of fertilizer for crops. After World War II commercial fertilizer became available to agriculture at relatively low cost, and to some extent manure became a waste by-product of a growing agricultural economy. Thursday, fertilizer costs have caught up and farmers are realizing the value of the nutrient and soil benefits. |
Housing fundamentals are deteriorating. Mortgage rates have been flat since the beginning of the year. Job creation and income growth has slowed. Equity markets have plunged over the past year. And consumer confidence has tumbled. Moreover, mortgage applications have trailed off. All of these suggest that home sales should weaken over the next several months. |
I am looking forward with great enthusiasm to serving another four years on the AQMD Board, ... We have accomplished a great deal in the last decade, but we also have an enormous challenge ahead of us if we are to succeed in cleaning up the Southlands smog. I really appreciate the confidence placed in me by the Speakers of the Assembly that have appointed me. |
I am speaking to Steve Neal and Dick Bennett to see what is available and a couple of other people who are trying to start teams off. It is long shot but I think I can do the job and people should respect that I am a good team player. I reckon I am pretty agile; if I am up at the front I can have a go and if I have to hold people up, I am really good at that. |
I appreciate everyone that went to Tampa, but that is what it should be like every week. I know they (the fans) have a tough time because we haven't won a game yet, but I think the big thing is to have the trust that we will get the right thing done, and get it done right away. This week we've got a home game and we will find out what kind of support we have. |
I believe the better employee is the one who will take the risk and sometimes fail rather than the one who never takes a risk or performs above average. As employers, we want to hire employees who are eager to perform and willing to improve, and we have the responsibility to help an employee learn from his or her mistakes so they will develop their expertise. |
I came out of the game (late in the second half) and sat down and thought, 'Man, this is the last time I'm going to be here. So I might as well just leave it all out there. Then coach came up to me and said, 'Let's go. We need you right now.' So I decided from then on out, if I had to burn a hole in my shoes, I was not going to let (Augustine) touch the ball. |
I can't describe what an asset it is. You want a receiver that doesn't make movements that confuse you about where he's going -- that's kind of like trying to hit a gnat. You want a guy who's smooth. You want a guy who you understand where he's going, you kind of got his body language, and a veteran guy where you know that if you throw it, he can make a play. |
I don't remember any kind of bet. Jim and I play together over the summer and we're pretty good friends. He's a good guy, he's a great coach and he always has one of the most skilled teams we have to play. He fields one of the best passing teams in the area. He always puts out a good product. In fact, now that you mention it, I think he might owe me a dinner. |
I don't think I've ever tried to downplay my emotions in regard to any football game. They'll be extremely high for this one. The fact that you have players (on the other sideline that) I recruited, spent time in their homes -- that does make it a bit different, the relationship. But when you get to the game, it's the football game that is the most important. |
I don't think we get much respect, quite frankly. Rutland has a reputation, and there's a lot of focus on Northern teams, but that's not really an issue. These kids play better when they feel like they're underdogs. I do think there's a lack of respect for what's going on in our neck of the woods, and I think (my players) like that. I think it motivates them. |
I don't want to temper our players' enthusiasm, but they get a little too excited prematurely, ... And these are just things that young players have to learn. ... 'We can beat anybody.' It's good to feel that way, but keep it inside. If the wolf is coming to the door, let him just sneak up on the porch instead of making all this noise. I get a kick out of it. |
I feel very good about the decision the board made last night. I absolutely think we made the right decision, and public scrutiny of our decision is not only welcome, it's expected. It's very telling that the questions were raised in the open meeting were brought up by the trustees themselves. These are people who care very deeply about doing the right thing. |
