We were hoping to get the team right after this tournament. We were hoping some guys would play good and we'd say OK this is our five guys.
Why? That little guy, man. In one year, that little guy has brought about a miracle.
That's what we were hoping for, gain a little momentum heading into the Big Ten. We have as good a chance as anybody if our guys play the way they can.
It was really disappointing down there. It was a tough field, but that's the way I have always scheduled. I want our guys to play tough competition to see what it takes to get to that level.
Don't ask me to compare myself to a half-a-season guy who didn't have to play in the snow or with blood in his nose or every third-and-1. Bo Jackson is a very fortunate person.
A couple of the guys played fairly decent but three of them really struggled.
I was just a big guy running down with a big, deep pocket and little short stick putting it against my chest.
There have been so few decent films involving Negroes that right away everybody expects every film to do everything. But when you make a flick, there are maybe two things you're trying to put into that flick. You can put the other things in another time.
We just have to take one shot at a time. We have to stay in the present and forget about what has happened and do the best we can every shot.
What I want to do is play roles as a black man, instead of playing black man's roles. You know?
TWA believes that the remains of Flight 800 should be treated like the remains of any other airplane crash and disposed of respectfully once the investigation is concluded.
You have an athletic director who wants to bring us up-to-date,
We certainly haven't given up hope because we see what they can do - their potential. We've got to find a way to transfer that into when the tournament starts.
We are trying to see who can perform under those conditions.
