We heard rumors of the possibility of Elk Rapids and St. Francis showing interest (in the Northwest). Instead of just letting them go, we're trying to be pro-active. Instead of just jumping leagues, why can't we take both leagues and work them together?
We hear a lot about rebuilding Detroit, and we just spent $70 billion to bail out the auto industry - well, they need to be cost competitive, too. If they have high-cost energy, those suppliers are going to move to Japan or Mexico instead of Michigan and Tennessee.
We hug them for a few minutes, put them in the car seat and what do we do? Turn on the radio. So the youngster is listening to passive experiences instead of interactive.
When we got the ball inside, they sent the double team down, which we anticipated. Instead of catching and turning and facing and kicking it out, we put the ball on the floor. We didn't finish inside.
When we get open, we shoot right away, instead of taking a look at where the goalie is at and placing the ball. (Scoring) is going to come as the season goes.
When we get men into scoring position or on base, it's like we go into defensive mode instead of offensive mode. I don't know how to get guys out of it.
What about a Boys Club and a Girls Club, something for the kids to do? Instead of buildings and parking lots for doctors, these kids have nothing to do.
We would settle and think that it was OK instead of going, going, going.
We would say it's a very favorable development for the state because the Supreme Court has decided to hear the matter instead of denying a hearing and remanding it the Court of Appeals, which could draw the case out potentially for years.
We would rather put on something fun at someplace where they want to be instead of at some party.
