“I told him, 'You know, you have to be positive about this. Just do what the trainers tell you, and who knows?' ... Pretty soon, they started thinking it wasn't as bad as they thought. He had a good outlook and has come back extremely quick from something that severe.”
“I am excited to bring someone of Brian's personal and professional caliber to this new position. His commitment to this organization, to this sport, and to this community is special. As our Director of Soccer Development, Brian's responsibilities range from coaching and scouting, to competitive analysis, to serving as our bridge between the team and the front office.”
“The world has fooled everybody into believing that we are here for a reason and everybody contributes a positive input into the world........We are'nt here for a reason... because there is no such thing as a reason....how do we reason with the world when it has turned into such a negative place that people are wanting to leave that badly they kill themselves....”
“They're playing well right now and we're playing in their building, but anything's possible if you put your mind to it. We did struggle at times this year, but we are not looking back. We are in a good position right now. If we win, we are in the national tournament, which was one of our goals.”
“I'm so impressed with (my players' defense). We haven't lost a step from last year. We lost our whole infield from last year, but we have some really excellent juniors who have stepped up and taken over those infield positions.”
“All of us are very good friends, ... Its neat for us to be a part of it Some people came up and told me after the season, Wow, Shockey didnt have a very good year. Well he caught 60 passes. Its amazing the standards they have now for the position.”
“Buying from both fund categories of index and spec has become the number one thing we look at on a day to day basis, over weather. We look at what their buying total is, short or long the market, and across all positions we cover, which is livestock, grains, and energy.”
“[O'Neal didn't let the rebuke go unnoticed.] He doesn't need advice on how to play his position, but he needs advice on how to play team ball, ... If it's going to be my team, I'll voice my opinion. If he don't like it, he can opt out.”
“It's more of a thinking game. In Juniors, it's more of just skate hard, run, bang and shoot the puck. Here it's a lot more thinking, a lot more positional play. I'm just trying to get that part of my game good, and when that happens, I'll be good to go.”
“We're trying to do a lot of offense early. The fall provided that opportunity because of the new NCAA rules. There are still things that we are doing with this team, such as moving players into new positions. In the early part of practice, we are trying to see where these interchangeable parts can be used in our motion offense.”
