bench games players preference sat whether
I sat the bench (with the Kings) for I don't know how many games. It is just a coach's preference whether or not they are going to play players or not.
behavior committed culture feeding great longer money nor offers people reinforced whether work
Behavior used to be reinforced by great deprivation; if people weren't hungry, they wouldn't work. Now we are committed to feeding people whether they work or not. Nor is money as great a reinforcer as it once was. People no longer work for punitive reasons, yet our culture offers no new satisfactions.
religion rid whether
I don't know whether I want to improve religion or not. I prefer to get rid of it.

I think my novel, 'Walden Two,' has made people stop and look at the culture they have inherited and wonder if it is the last word or whether it can be changed.

couple exploited front game happened key looked mistakes played
I thought they just made a couple of key mistakes in front of their own goal. It looked like a little miscommunication between their sweeper and their goalie sometimes, and we exploited that. The game wasn't played all that pretty. We just happened to score.
good match nice shot
I think we have as good a shot as any team. That would be really nice to go down there and get a win. But we have to take it a match at a time.
either everybody fans maybe
It had nothing to do with the game. It was a well-played game. It wasn't even a distraction for either team. Maybe the fans and everybody else got excited.

Jerry Kilgore is beginning to realize voters aren't interested in smear ads and negative attacks.

Last two games, he's been playing like a first-team, all-league player.
coaching community parents program proud reflection starting students support
I say it's a reflection not just on me but the whole program. It's something the whole program should be proud of because not just one person can do it. You have to have the parents, the coaching staff, the students and the support from the community and I really think we are starting to get that.
