I'm quite conscious that the last four games have been at home, so to go away is another big test.
Despite the depth problem, I like this team's chances of being competitive in a very tough conference. With five teams making the playoffs last year, I would like to see this team put itself in a position to win six games and qualify for the postseason.
Children are game for anything. I throw them hard words, and they backhand them over the net. They love words that give them a hard time, provided they are in a context that absorbs their attention.
Anyone who writes down to children is simply wasting his time. You have to write up, not down. Children are demanding. They are the most attentive, curious, eager, observant, sensitive, quick, and generally congenial readers on earth.... Children are game for anything. I throw them hard words and they backhand them across the net.
The experience that we have just playing in the last two games is probably going to help us out a lot. And the game plan Coach Carroll prepares is going to be awesome.
It's kind of a disappointment, ... if you win 12 games and don't have anything to show for it.
It helped us, getting a chance to get some games under our belt. Obviously, getting a chance to play at home helped.
I think Brian learned a valuable lesson last week. He was frustrated and I told him, 'They're going to make us beat them by throwing the football, so you need to take that as a compliment.' That doesn't mean you surrender. You keep playing because it's going to be a game where you earn every one of your yards. Games like this are games of persistence, games of trusting yourself, and knowing it's not going to look pretty all the time, but you have to keep banging away.
It dampers it quite a bit, ... You win 12 games and that's extremely hard to do in college football and you end up with nothing to show for it.
We came off a hard weekend at Ferris. We played some close games but couldn't close them.
I'm sure this is just the starting point. We want to work from the ground up and get people thinking about crime prevention.
In general, tech companies are focused on betting the company on the next generation. They need every dime they can get.
In December, what (Albertsons) meant when they said they were no longer for sale is that they are no longer actively seeking bids. That of course doesn't mean any entity is prevented from bidding.
In class work, it is easy to learn only what is needed for a grade. When doing research, I try to understand what I am studying completely. Another great thing about it is that I get to work one on one with professors in my field.
