(Lamar) drilled us at our house last year and we challenged our players to put out a great effort tonight. We didn't look pretty but we made the play we had to make at the end to win the game.
I am pleased that we put forth that effort for catastrophic events, ... But you look back at other events that have taken place that have called for some kind of fundraising or support from students and staff. Our staff and students have always stood tall.
As we have made clear in the past, there is no safe haven for terrorists, ... Every conceivable effort will be made to hold accountable all of those involved in murdering the more than 250 civilians in Africa.
In our ludicrous efforts to 'change' and be perfect, we try to fashion a perfect world for ourselves. We start to imagine that we are actually in control of our world, which is further from reality than an all-parrot moon landing. The universe, our universe, is out of our control. We live on a speck drifting around in an infinite vacuum with countless trillions of other specks. Our world is in a perpetual state of perfect chaos and entropy, with everything falling apart and dying and being born haphazardly. Meanwhile, we try to make life as neat and clean and orderly as a computer research facility, when in fact it is more like a junkyard. It always has been, and it always will be, no matter how much fussing and sweating and striving we do to make it different.
It's a part of the game you don't want to see. You're around people who are good guys and have put a lot of effort into it and to come out here and they're missing, it shocks you. It's also a relief because you see everybody that's going to be on the team, that's going to be your teammates, you get to learn from them.
It really is a very good barometer, we think, of how active employers are.
As a New York-based sports editor put it to me,
That's been one of the knocks on me, ... that people think I'm not strong. So that's one of the things I want to work on in my last year.
They started cracking jokes, and I said: 'Ain't nothing funny when I have to work the next day.'
This is his hometown. What better way of honoring him?
Energy costs have just gone sky high on us as everyone else. Anything the school system can do to try and conserve energy we are going to do.
If you are cold at night, let the promise of my love cover you like a warm blanket
He played a lot of footy and knows a lot about the game . . . the three of us have been taken aback by his enthusiasm and knowledge.
They expect us to have some bond to them, to be working with them on their community associations, to be active in their community and the kinds of areas and events that are of concern to them.
