Drill Quotations | Page 2

We have a drill in practice where we put five minutes on the clock and are down by 15 points. During a timeout I told the girls we've done this before in practice, we can do it now.

To assume we're going to have our head over a barrel and be forced to accept some sort of compromise bill is not the position we find ourselves in right now. The moratorium remains in effect. There is nothing new; the only thing new is this tendency to provide an alternate plan to one that wants to drill closer to Florida's shores.

We ran the two-minute drill great, but we didn't make a good decision on the goal line. Cam is still getting better at quarterback though, and I feel like our team is still improving.

We heard clearly from the head of the American Petroleum Institute that expanding drilling in the Gulf will have no impact on the current price crisis,

He mentioned one thing, one time and we went out and responded. He didn't have to keep telling us and drilling us like little kids. He made one statement about it this morning in the walk-through and we came out and took care of business and that's the sign of a good team, coming out and making adjustments.

Drill work, I mean he acts as if it's last play of a big game and he's got to do it right. I mean even when we're warming up, at the beginning (of practice), that he's working on his accuracy. He's got an extraordinary ability to focus in and key in and get better.

Drilling systems today mainly use water to move mass up the tube and away from the bit. In space, you need to develop a closed system to do that.

Drilling multiple oil and gas (wells) would not only wreck the solitude of these remote areas, but would leave man-made scars on the landscape for centuries.

For those people that are now walking two hours, and sometimes six hours a day to get their water, the solution is just about 20 meters below their feet. We don't need a miracle cure, we just need to drill a well and make sure there are proper systems in place so people can operate it and maintain it themselves.

That was a huge shot by Spencer, and it gave us a chance on a night when we really played sub-par. He's a clutch kid, and a confident shooter. It was fun seeing him drill that shot.
