I'd like to get a couple of our girls in (districts) as individuals. It should be a good, fast meet and real good competition. Division I and Division II are getting closer and closer. It raises the bar a little bit and pushes everybody to do their best.
We would love to put (a trophy) in there. We played off for one a couple years ago. We played reasonable footy but we lost the game. We didn't handle the loss well.
With a couple of exceptions you can count on one hand even if you used to work in a saw mill and cut off a few fingers, television really managed to not catch up until 1970.
Football and television are like the couple running in slow motion at each other on the beach. They form the perfect marriage.
This going into Europe will not turn out to be the thrilling mutual exchange supposed. It is more like nine middle-aged couples with failing marriages meeting in a darkened bedroom in a Brussels hotel for a group grope.
We weren't prepared to take the risk last week with David Johnson, in saying that he's had about two weeks of really solid training where we've really given him a huge amount of work, tried to put match conditioning into him to see if we got through last week, and we have to wait and see whether we choose to play him this week.
We were planning to build another hangar, but the cost of building materials has gone through the roof.
We lose sight of the fact that this is a lawsuit under specific statutes, and that certain activities have to constitute a violation under those statutes.
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.
I sense a little change, ... I hear it every day. 'We got to do something different, because the other way hasn't been working.'
I've been to China. There's a lot of people over there.
