speaking-up democracy principles
So now is the time, more than ever, for those who truly value all the principles of democracy, especially including dissent, to be the most forceful in speaking up, standing up and speaking out.
bad might work
I thought they might (go for the touchdown), ... but how can you say that was a bad call? It just didn't work out for them this time.
adjust combined good job kids practice schedule short time tuesday typical
I thought our kids bounced back well. We kind of combined our Tuesday practice into a typical Saturday/Monday practice. We just had to adjust our schedule slightly. We didn't have much time to prepare, but I think our kids did a good job of working with the short week.
offense played youth
I think it was just a combination of the two. We played pretty well on defense, and their youth really showed. Just like our youth showed on offense at times. But I'm very pleased. We haven't been 1-0 in a long time.
eliminate good great mistakes playing tradition
Like us, Carencro is playing a lot of sophomores. They have great tradition and they're very talented. We'll have to eliminate our mistakes so we can give them a good game.

There's nothing in the middle of the road but a yellow stripe and dead armadillos.

We're a very young football team. We have a long ways to go before we can compete against the better people on our schedule. We have a young offense, particularly in places that handle the ball.
against awful discipline gifted good helping job situations takes truly
He's a truly gifted athlete. It takes an awful lot of discipline (to play against Williams), but even discipline is not enough. You end up in one-on-one situations and some of the times our ones won't be as good as their ones. We have to do a good job of helping each other out.
campaign convert defense legal million raised
He can take his campaign funds, which he raised more than a million bucks, and now convert that into his legal defense fund.
mistakes
We just made a lot of mistakes in the jamboree,
consistent few missed next plays regroup
We just had a few plays missed by a hair. We weren't consistent on offense. We need to regroup and see if we can be a little better next week.
