expecting runners
I've had runners come to me expecting to get something. They get something all right: hard-ass work.
describe people run season
When we were making that run at the end, you could feel it. You can't really describe it, but you know there's so many people who want your season to keep going. It's an inspiration. You want to play for yourself, but you want to play for them, too.
credit joe jog run teams
They do it 100 percent. They don't jog up and down the floor. A lot of teams jog to get into position. They don't jog, they run and that's a credit to Joe and the things he's done with this team.
pulled runs surprised
I'm not surprised we pulled back that quick. That's our team. We make runs like that and we've been doing it all year.
instead leave starting tight tony trying valuable work
Tony is so valuable to us at tight end that we thought it would be better to leave him there instead of trying to work with him as the starting quarterback and find a new tight end.
both good happened last sure year
The same thing happened last year, so this year we have to make sure it's a different outcome. We're both going to be ready. It's going to be a good one.
net
I've said for years there is no benefit. It's a net loss.
cars flexible
It would be one thing if the cars were flexible like a caterpillar or something, but they are not.
mean school stay
It would mean so much to us, the school and the community. Personally, I don't want to travel, either. I want to stay home. If that happens, I just think it would be awesome.
bad city clear consensus deal needs public soon
Public consensus is clear that the sewage deal with the City of Sumas is a bad deal for Abbotsford and needs to be terminated as soon as possible,
conflict iraq means mind receptive regards settled somewhat state strong
People's perceptions have settled in somewhat in regards to the conflict in Iraq and what it means to them. We see consumers' state of mind at being at a place to be receptive to a strong offer.
family
Everything I have is here. My family is the most important thing.
pick
You look at any scorecard. That place where they show you how to pick up a spare? They show it for right-handers.
alright defensive pick pitching
We couldn't pick up the ball. The pitching was alright but the defensive play wasn't so good.
