philosophy answers may
A scientist may not be sure of the answer, but he's often sure he can find one. And that's a condition which is clearly not enjoyed by philosophy.
loyalty may citizens
To require a citizen to sign a loyalty oath is to destroy some of the loyalty he could otherwise claim, since any subsequent loyal behavior may then be attributed to the oath.
education doe may
A fourth-grade reader may be a sixth-grade mathematician. The grade is an administrative device which does violence to the nature of the developmental process.
arms environment maybe open scholars-and-scholarship welcome
It's not like they welcome you with open arms in that environment, either. This is not really new for us. Maybe we're new to you, but this is not new to us.
either fans game impact maybe
It was really incidental. It wasn't even a distraction for either team. Maybe the fans and everyone else got excited, but for us, for the most part, it really didn't have any impact on the game at all.
basket contact drive driving earn last maybe played remember respect tough work
Those were some tough calls. I don't remember us getting the benefit. Even the last play (Rice's drive to the basket), there's contact driving to the basket and that's (no foul). We make contact and it's a foul. It?s unfortunate. We played well enough and I thought we would earn the respect of the officials, but maybe it didn't?t work out that way.
contact earn last maybe played remember respect tough work
There were some tough calls. I don't remember us getting the benefit. Even the last play. There's contact on that last play and it's OK. We make contact and it's a foul. We played well enough and I thought we would earn the respect of the officials. Maybe it didn't work out that way.
either everybody fans maybe
It had nothing to do with the game. It was a well-played game. It wasn't even a distraction for either team. Maybe the fans and everybody else got excited.
advantage aggressive benefit bigger guy maybe willing
I think they use it as an advantage for them. I think it allows them to maybe be a little more aggressive than a guy who is a little bigger and can't be as aggressive. (Officials) are willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
ball coaches delivering familiar fans goes guess league maybe media time trying
He's recognizing what opposing defenses are trying to do to him and delivering the ball to his teammates. I don't think the coaches in this league have (overlooked Smith). Maybe the fans and media isn't as familiar with him, but I guess you will be as time goes on.
stayed tried trouble
We just stayed out of trouble all day and tried to keep the fenders on that thing. We were right there in the top-10. That was just Skinner luck.
ball drive patient settle strength
We weren't patient enough. We settled. There were some opportunities on the perimeter, but you don't have to settle for the shot. You can still drive the ball to the basket. That's the strength of our club.
flat game good lead played
We went flat and started coasting after the 7-1 lead after two innings. But I thought we played pretty good for the first game of the season.
change defense
We try to change it up, the way we play defense during the game.
