Jim Larranaga

I think all you can really do (attending games) is see how they conduct themselves, their mannerisms, how the players respond to them and how they talk to the other coaches on the bench.

Ryan Taylor

I think being jacked up for games helps because you play harder when you are really into it, ... Sometimes I might go over the edge with it. Sometimes I might get an unsportsmanlike (conduct) or unnecessary roughness (penalty), but the coaches can deal with that as long as I am playing my hardest.

I think you can always find a running back, but to find a shutdown corner like Champ, they just don't come around that much. He's hurt a little bit, but he'll come back when we need him. He's a great cornerback, so I think we got the better of the trade.

The west has decided to channel money and effort into studying other customs and practices, but no one has really given other people the chance to study western customs and practices, except at schools maintained by white expatriates, or by allowing the rich from other cultures to study in Oxford or Paris.

High school is a really strange time - you're not a kid, you're not an adult. You're about to be an adult, you're going to have to make some really intense decisions.
