Everybody knew we were capable of playing better. I'm so proud of our kids. I can't say enough about their resolve.
The team seemed tired and lethargic (against Sacramento State) and not really mentally into playing that contest. I don't think we'll have that problem this weekend at all.
Currently, the green crab is viewed only as a pest species, ... The crab tends to eat what we eat. It's incredibly tough. And generally speaking, its presence in the water means fewer clams and lobsters. So, we'd like to turn around these negatives and make them into a positive.
I was proud of the way our team responded today. Jennifer (Hohl) did a fantastic job of distributing the volleyball, and keeping everyone involved.
Winning and losing isn't important to me so much as playing to a certain level. If we play to the level that I expect our team to play at, we should have three victories this weekend.
We have to relax, play hard and make some critical plays when the pressure's on. Right now, that will be the most important thing. That was our weakness last year too.
For sure, it's the biggest test (we'll face) in September,
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.
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,
Phil had Michael (Jordan) and the upper hand against Riley in the past, but this time Riley comes in with Shaq. Phil is the underdog now.
(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.
