Whenever a member of the team can't participate anymore, there's this void because suddenly it seems like there's somebody missing, like there's less of us. It affects the whole energy of the team, for sure.
Everybody knew we were capable of playing better. I'm so proud of our kids. I can't say enough about their resolve.
I don't know where they get all these trumped up charges. If they were putting everybody in jail that owed taxes, the jails would be really full.
I couldn't pass it up, ... You get excited. ... It's a very prestigious program.
Obviously you always want to win. You feel better when you get a win. I was especially happy with our service reception. I thought we received serves well.
I grew up in San Diego in a non-athletic environment. My parents were not interested in sports. Their loves were art, literature and music. I gravitated towards sports because of my older brother Bruce and the first coach I ever had, who, like John Wooden, made it fun and really emphasized the joy of playing the team game.
If we play well this weekend and achieve some of the things that I'd like us to be able to achieve in terms of passing, blocking and those sorts of things, then we'll be on our way to being able to handle our Conference USA opponents.
If we knew what to look for, we could literally read the crab's shell to determine when it should molt and when we should get it to market,
(Ole Miss) had a great week. Their team hit over .300, and they've done some good things. They're coming in here undefeated (1-0), so we're going have to be ready to play Friday night.
Stability at the top, you've got to have that all the time. All the great franchises, all the great teams have that. They've had the right guy who can inspire, who can lead.
I was proud of the way our team responded today. Jennifer (Hohl) did a fantastic job of distributing the volleyball, and keeping everyone involved.
Our business plan just went to hell on us and we couldn't recover from it.
I thought we were in a position to win (Friday) which is really discouraging. In the first two games, at no time was I really nervous about losing. It just kind of fell apart in the middle (of the match).
It is a big deal, because it is money and it's money we always meant to be able to pay (the state), but the money was never there to pay them.
