For a while, you hoped the thing would turn, you know? That one of the operations in one of those towns over there would set things straight -- or, especially, those elections. Those Iraqis showed up against guns to vote. I kept hoping something like that would change things around.
We played a really good game against West Coast (in Round 21), and the Richmond game in Round 22 was a messy game.
(Ballard) is a team that can make us better later on by playing against it. We can use this game to play with quicker, more athletic teams and I'm really proud of our seniors for challenging the other players to play hard the whole game.
It became not fun for anybody involved. We were just touring all the time, hating each other more and more. Now we can be friends again and have fun.
We may never get the chance to play teams from the DEL again so it really is worth making the effort to come along.
At the same time, the coaches understand that. It's nothing against the coaches. They're working with 100 kids out here ? 100 grown men, actually ? and it's not like I'm the only one that's been in this position.
By doing that in early fall, it gives the seed a chance to germinate and start maturing before the winter slows it down. Next spring it will start growing again and will be ready for the heat of the summer.

We went into a period there where we could not hit the broad side of a barn. We knew we had to shoot the ball well, since they are so much bigger than us, we knew we would not rebound.
We underestimated what kind of acting chops this guy had, and we now see what he's able to do when he's given the right part. He's taken his considerable acting experience, melded that with his own kind of personality, melded that with the almost mythic history he brings to the part.
We hung in there and played our hearts out. But we were too short-handed without Devin.
The study shows that there are clear features in brain images that are different for smart children versus average children. Now it should become extremely fast to identify some of the main factors that make the brain develop in a healthy way...such as how kids are taught, their diet, their parental upbringing, or...genetics.
