heard honest kick listened talk thinking win
He didn't say, 'I'm going to kick down this wall. I've heard him talk about it, and he was honest about what he did. He said, 'I'm going to win this championship, and this is what I've got to play with.' He wasn't even thinking about anything else, but they never listened to him. So he's not the one perpetuating the lie. We all are. It's crazy.

He just assumed that the time was so short, he hadn't served. He was born before the Great War, he was a child in the Roaring '20s, he graduated about the Depression and he married about World War II. These are very unassuming guys. It was a national responsibility, and you did your job.

We're getting contributions from 10 guys on a regular basis. Scoring is great, but you have to get some rebounds and have guys buying into defensive schemes.
