Joe Franco

We all know that tuition is an issue; we all know that fees on campus are an issue. But if this is something that we can fix, and it is just a matter of rallying our professors behind it, then it is something that we talked about, ...

Tonight we played a lot more man than we usually do. We got behind and couldn't play the match-up zone as much. The match-up zone was good for us in the first half, but then they hit two quick 3s in the second half and we had to play man and didn't do a very good job.

Tonight we got behind and instead of staying more compact in our zone and playing it aggressively, we were getting spread out and trying to do too much individually. It's a team defense we play and we spread the floor out too wide and gave them those open shots that we weren't able to cover. That's because the girls couldn't hold back. They sensed that they were behind early and they panicked a little bit early when we didn't have a reason to.

I guess I kinda lost control, because in the middle of the play I ran up and lit the evil puppet villain on fire. No, I didn't. Just kidding.

Another emotion is generosity, as when you pay someone double what he paid for his stupid puppet.

A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.
