bit certain five heck kid might normally six
He just does a little bit of everything for us. A kid like him, even if he might not normally do anything in a certain event, he'll still give it a heck of a try. He's the kind of kid that you'd like to have five or six of.
bit chance felt time trying
It has been trying to get a little bit better at a little bit of everything. We felt it was a chance for them to get a little fresher. It was just more of the same. We did play two inter-squad games, simulations of real games. I think it was time well spent.
best bit calling coward gotten looking recent tail worried
They've gotten the best of us in recent years, so I'm a little bit worried about calling it off now and looking like a coward with my tail between my legs.
doubt hitters last light plate seven
We were light at the plate last year, there's no doubt about it. I really think we need to have seven .300 hitters (in 2006).
ball carolina great job kids preventing proud
It was very hard-fought ballgame. I'm proud of the way our kids played. They (South Carolina State) did a great job of preventing us from getting the ball to Sanders and Elliott.

Things are looking pretty optimistic right now. We've got a good early start to this winter season.

Practice has been good and our preparation has been outstanding. We have had three pretty good practices. The guys are excited and realize what is at stake.
concern creates nights
The thing that creates the sleepless nights is concern over injuries.

Every player has high expectations for themselves and the team, and it was very frustrating. But I think they recognize that they did do some things well.
beat drive equal indiana teams thrilled
I wasn't thrilled to drive all the way to Indiana and get beat by 37. If we didn't have to, we'd probably play more teams of equal level.
affects brain damage memory mind mouth side
Most of the damage was on the side of the brain that affects his speech. At this point, his memory is pretty good, but his mind can't tell his mouth what to do.
filling water
Metro-area water suppliers should be able to look at filling their reservoirs this year.
determination good guy scouts simply suggest tons tools unfair
I think he has just tons of drive, determination and instincts. He has good ability. I think it's unfair to suggest this guy doesn't have ability. He's a very good athlete. I think his tools were simply underevaluated by the scouts out here.
future
I think his future is very, very bright, but we need his future to be Saturday.
