benefits best great jackson last people rotary time tournament turn year
Our Gautier Rotary tournament is one of the best in Jackson County. Last year we had to turn people away. We always have a great time and it all benefits the community.
doubt game people plan shoot tenacity
People would game plan for Bryce because he could flat-out shoot the ball, and there was no doubt about it. What people don't know about him is his tenacity on defense.
bunch living people waiting
We had a whole bunch of people living on boats, waiting to find out just what had happened.
regret philosophy people
I regret not getting brutally forthright with human beings a hell of a lot sooner than I did. Civility and obliquity are wasted on people who will not make the effort to be harsher or stricter on their own gooey egos than they are on other people.
people trying looks
Values and verdicts never bother me half as much as people trying to weasel their way around them, or people compromising their reason to pander to their own prejudices and preconceptions, which they are so rarely competent to look in the face.
philosophy self people
"The people" is that massive portion of a society that lives by its pathetic subjection to sheer immediacy or self-obviousness, and that therefore uncritically seizes upon the most simplistic and abstract ways of filling its vacuous self-consciousness. Not philosophy but dogma and rhetoric, not rationality but indoctrination and conditioning, provide the cultural junkfood by which the Many perfunctorily slake their thirst and hunger.
philosophy thinking people
Most people traffic in abstractions and generalizations because they are grossly incompetent at culturing their intuition or powers of evidency, refining it to grasp the Thisness (Haecceitas) of what is before them. Thinking is like a Stradivarius that has more potential variations in how it is played than any human can finitely perform or capture.
hand message people send
I told them we have to hand things out ourselves. Don't send your handlers. Don't send your agent. I don't want to see your assistants. These people want to see you. That is the message we want to send, and everyone agreed.
games kids next played ready
I think we're there; I think we're ready to go. The kids played hard, and these first games are tough, so we'll just get ready for the next one.
conference difficult five great guards top western year
I think that any other year he would be playing. But because (there's) so many great forwards in the West, it's difficult to do that. But (Paul) is one of the top five guards in the Western Conference without question.
eric gets guy harris
We're a fullback-oriented offense. Our fullback Patrick Harris gets most of the carries. But our big-play guy has been our tailback Eric Crenshaw.
answer covered intensity knew open picked second wish
I wish I knew the answer to why. I think part of it was they picked up their intensity a little bit, and the things that were open for us in the first half, they covered up (in the second half).
ball cutting hard job moved moving worked
We moved the ball much better tonight. We worked hard at it in practice. We did a much better job of moving the ball around, cutting and making things happen.
against blocking expect football last mental missed mistakes opener played
We kind of flip-flopped the way I thought it would be. We played methodical, error-free football in the opener against Cabot when I would expect us to make mistakes. Last week, we made a lot of mental mistakes and had missed blocking assignments.
