I most remember the Black faculty lunches he would host while working as the faculty assistant for affirmative action. It was the only place on campus you could regularly meet colleagues from across the various departments and hear about issues that affected our community.

The team showed a huge amount of character and heart out there. Maybe they wouldn't have handled it at other times.
clinic hard heard hours houston meet neighbor talk time town veterans waiting
When I go to Houston I always meet other veterans from Conroe and while we're waiting for hours and hours we talk about what we've heard about the Conroe clinic and when it's going to happen. There are a lot of veterans and we have a hard time with driving. If there was a clinic here in town you can get a neighbor to take you.

I was upset when I heard the news, but you can't be mad because I have a bunch of great guys in front of me on the receiving corps. I'm sitting back and observing to see how things are out there in the regular season. I did notice that (the pace) picked up a little bit from the preseason.

I'm sure it will be really strange for him. You can imagine when he steps out on the pitch everyone will go crazy - he was more than a great servant for this club. And I'm sure that if he has to put his foot in then he will!

I'm thrilled with the performance, but disappointed to lose on a technicality. It's a tough way to learn a lesson, but it doesn't take anything away from the way the kids ran.
ability attacking fact grown impressive quality
I know the quality of these boys. All the youngsters have grown in confidence. With our attacking ability and especially -- what for me is the most impressive thing -- the fact we are not conceding goals, I can say we are cautiously optimistic.
forced needs scoring stopped
I know when we stopped them and got a turnover, then forced a three-and-out and were still down 14-10 that there was something wrong. That scoring needs tweaking.

I'm looking forward to the second half of September. How could you not want to be in a pennant race with the Yankees?

That helps her 400, to be able to run a good 200 like that. We're excited about her running that. That shows a little versatility, and it's nice to have.
