We've had two hurricanes hit the Gulf coast already,
It doesn't really feel like a Big East game, because we've played them a bunch of times. I don't think it'll hit us until we play Connecticut.
I was really nervous. I couldn't handle it being my last meet. Before my last race, I was in the warm up pool and my pace work was all off, I couldn't hit the times my coach wanted me to hit. It was just overwhelming.
Just one thing, don't address the cue ball like I do. I learnt the game as a kid hustling car dealers for cash. I'd hit the ball like that so they'd think I couldn't play. Never got out the habit.

A writer is a gunner, sometimes waiting in the blind for something to come in, sometimes roaming the countryside hoping to scare something up.
Shocking writing is like murder: the questions the jury must decide are the questions of motive and intent.
The most puzzling thing about TV is the steady advance of the sponsor across the line that has always separated news from promotion, entertainment from merchandising. The advertiser has assumed the role of originator, and the performer has gradually been eased into the role of peddler.
