Nikki is a kid who has battled injuries her whole playing career here. She has never been like, 'I've got to take time off. I've got to be a starter.' Exactly. She just goes in and does what is asked of her, plays and has fun, and I think her best playing days are ahead.

Nobody politicked for or against anyone ... You're not going to find a single person that said I asked them to contribute and I don't think you're going to find anybody else asked them to.

I would often take this bus and go to a nearby village where I had hordes of animal friends. I was hardly around four or five years old then. The conductor was so used to seeing me hop on to the bus and get down at the same place, that he never asked any questions. The strangest part is, he never asked for a ticket either!

When I asked Kellogg's to explain why their cereal bags are so hard to open, at first they seemed responsive, and sent an e-mail saying they'd assigned someone to help me. But the next thing I knew they told me they just didn't have the manpower to address it and were going to take a pass.

Somebody asked me if I can still do it. I think I still can.

Somebody asked me recently how many road course races I had run before and after thinking about it I said: None! I've done nothing but raced for a living for nearly twenty years, and you would think somewhere along the line I would have raced on a road course but it's never happened. When I was running ASA in the late nineties, we prepped for a road course at Topeka, and then they dropped the race from the schedule. Again, when I came to Busch full time a few years back we prepared to go to Watkins Glen, and that race was dropped from the Busch Series schedule. I guess the third time is a charm. I finally get to go road racing! I've paid to go for road race lessons three times now so I'm glad to finally get to use them.

One night, I lay awake for hours, just terrified. When the dawn finally came up - the comfortable blue sky, the familiar world returning - I could think of no other way to express my relief than through poetry.

One of the things that Sara Jane was asked in court yesterday by Deputy District Attorney Eleanor Hunter was, 'Are you pleading guilty because you are in truth and in fact guilty and do you stipulate that there is a factual basis for the guilty plea?' to which she replied, 'Yes.' In light of what she said after walking out of court, we can only assume she was lying to the judge, or lying to the press to save face. The judge is obviously concerned.

Then something was ready in the garden and we decided to start canning and eventually decided to enter the Clay County Fair.

One question I get asked a lot, ... is why we think this is such a problem. It's kind of like speeding. If law enforcement stopped writing tickets, it would get way out of hand. That's been our experience. If we don't keep working on the enforcement, it starts to multiply on its own out there. If you have a rule, you have to keep enforcing it. You can't look the other way.

One, I asked them to give me 110 percent. I told them if you walk away from this game giving that, I'm going to say thank you, shake your hand, give you a big hug and tell you how much I appreciate it. The second thing I told them was to get me home.

One memory that just really stood out in my mind was our first home basketball game. She had some time before the game started. Each one of the girls came up to her, and she asked them how they wanted their hair done. They sat in front of her and she did their hair in blue and yellow ribbons.

One of our reporters asked me if we would be scared of the environment. We know it's going to be loud, but it's easier to get excited for a game like that rather than 500 people. We have good crowds here and (opposing) teams play well and are emotional.

One of the Sunday newspapers asked me to make my favorite dish, and they photographed me holding it in the kitchen. It was roasted salmon with roasted vegetables. That's not cooking; that's putting things in a pan. It looked quite nice, but I'm not saying it was good.

One of the things that Dostoevsky talks about is that no character is too high to fall and no character is too low to be redeemed. 'Crime and Punishment' began with a person going out and consciously becoming a cold-blooded murderer, and it took 800 pages and an epilogue before the person finally asked for forgiveness.

My dad was a pretty poor guy, he didn't have a whole lot of money. He always wanted something for my brother and myself, some kind of business. He'd asked the owners of this course to call him if it ever came up for sale, and one day, they called. I had a scholarship offer to Ohio State and my dad said, 'Son, what do you want to do, cut grass or go to school?' I said, what do you want me to do, Dad? He said, 'Well, I can't afford any help.' I said, 'No problem, Dad, I'll help you cut grass.' Looking back, I think I made the right decision.

Nebraska has asked us to keep that closed because they have traffic so backed up.

Never asked anything of my players any different than I'm doing right now. Think about that. So the bottom line is, I want us to rebound, defend, share the ball, play hard. That's all. If you can't do that, if that's not important enough to you, it's not on me. You owe it to your teammates to do that every single night if you care about the right things.

Now the Arctic Snow Goose Venture has reconstituted a working group, asked them to give a progress reports and analyze all the new data that has been collected because there are a lot of ongoing research.
