I know we can win this meet. The coaches say they have a really good squad this year, a little bit stronger than last year. But I feel like we still have more depth, and we're going to do well at this meet. We're going to win.
I have not come to Sheffield to look at the gardens near the hotel. If I didn't think I could win the World Championship I would go and play golf badly in Spain.
It was a good game. You win some, you lose some.
It's a momentum swing that we really needed. Penn State is going to be a good team. As many quality wins that we can get in the Big Ten is our goal, especially going into IU.
We're going to win -- I promise you.
We've got 80 minutes and it could be the best 80 minutes of South Africa's rugby history for a long time. You can't make it any bigger than it is. To win tomorrow you win the Tri-Nations, you win back-to-back Tri-Nations, you go to number one in the world, you beat the All Blacks three times in succession, you can't try to make it any bigger. No South African side has won here (in Dunedin) since 1921. The more you talk about it the more you appreciate just how big this fixture is.
Total rugby doesn't win the World Cup and the stats prove it. It's knowing how to play and what to do when the scores are locked at 13-13 that makes the difference.
The wind didn't start in the late innings. It's been blowing all day and we've known it. We just didn't make plays in it.
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.
Teams that win normally don't change much. The teams aren't winning are making the changes.
My team fought hard. I don't like losing. Everybody can't win all the time.
We're glad to be in the conference tournament finals and have a shot at winning it.
The mind travels faster than the pen; consequently, writing becomes a question of learning to make occasional wing shots, bringing down the bird of thought as it flashes by. A writer is a gunner, sometimes waiting in the blind for something to come in, sometimes roaming the countryside hoping to scare something up.
We should all do what, in the long run, gives us joy, even if it is only picking grapes or sorting the laundry.
