Treat all men alike.... give them all the same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. You might as well expect the rivers to run backward as that any man who is born a free man should be contented when penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases. We only ask an even chance to live as other men live. We ask to be recognized as men. Let me be a free man...free to travel... free to stop...free to work...free to choose my own teachers...free to follow the religion of my Fathers...free to think and talk and act for myself.
To the Indians it seemed that these Europeans hated everything in nature - the living forests and their birds and beasts, the grassy grades, the water, the soil, the air itself.
He wanted me to do more and get involved by running off screens. I wasn't doing that, and he got in my ear. ... That's what coach wants, and I have to work on it.
It's a wonderful thing. He rebounds, he runs the floor, he's a terrific guy. He's a first-round pick if he continues to get that killer mentality and feels like every rebound is his. This is a great accomplishment for him. But I know he's not going to get complacent. He's going to continue to get better.
I heard him. I hear everything he says. It means we have to get out and run in transition and open it up.
That's the way the tournament goes. Wherever they send you, you've just got to go and play.
They made it tough. They bumped and they played physical. But I missed some shots, too.
I'm going to miss putting on that Illinois jersey.
They have looked very well so far in practice. I am very excited to see what they can do this year.
Every team is going to play hard. The intensity level is so high I can't explain it.
He's a great talent and he likes to talk trash.
Guys are a little confused, and coach is yelling all the time. It's going to be a grind. The Big Ten is a grind-out conference.
I'm going to shoot 'em, anyway. I'm going to go 1-for-9, 1-for-30, 1-for-50. If I don't make one more shot this season, I'm still going to play the way I play and do the things I do.
The girls have been working very hard. They all have ran for the past four years and will be tremendous assets for our program.
