Charles Davis Quotations

When we base the right of access on the media, it begins to be viewed by lawmakers as a special interest. It is absolutely critical that we broaden the conversation and make it about the people's right to access, and not the media's right to access.

We are always concerned about it if we don't get rain. We are fixing to go into cotton planting full speed here in a couple of weeks. The lack of rainfall between now and then won't be a good thing at all.

Out of sight of land the sailor feels safe. It is the beach that worries him.

One of the many downfalls of Sept. 11 was that it made national security a local interest in ways that it had never been before.

I'm at a loss for words right now.

I don't think we're hitting as good as we were earlier in the season but it's a conference win and that's good.

We've got to get that monkey off our back. Hopefully, we'll do it soon, because I know this game with Iowa is going to be close.

To understand the culture, study the dance. To understand the dance, study the people.

He was a great guy. Some of the guys had a tendency to complain because he was so stringent but he only did that because he was taking care of his guys. And, in the regular Army, that's what you look for, someone who's going to take care of your guys. And, he did that great!

Having a journalistic presence in a place like the Congo is about more than merely the daily story; it's about Congolese officials knowing there is daily scrutiny of their actions. Now you have corrupt officials, and they feel no eyes on their backs.

I think the perception is out there that FOI is a special interest of the press.

I think (this crime) was a direct result of his chemical dependency.

I think there's always a risk of overthinking the game, especially when it gets tight,

(Kyle's) a great competitor. It was a good experience for me and helped prepare me (for the next level).

I was tickled with the way we played after a week off. All the way around.

I was garbage, ... I lived to work out that whole offseason (between the 2003 and 2004 seasons). I worked harder than I've ever worked in my life. They say hard work pays off. I guess I'm proof.

That was his first start and he was sharp.

That was an exciting game against a county rival in front of a big crowd.

When we tighten up, that's when we get in trouble.

We will more than double the space that were in now, which is just a blessing because were sitting on one anothers shoulders in there,

We tweaked (the offense) a little bit to cater to Brandon's strengths. Kyle could do more with his arm. Brandon is more spontaneous. He can make something happen at any time.

We feel very fortunate to still be 5-0 in the conference. We've played in a lot of close games.

Brandon (quarterback Brandon Kirsch) said it best, 'They don't play us,'

everything I can learn off him means alot to me.

There's not much I don't like about (Charles and Dustin). They're both athletic, but past that, they're very different; Charles is a bigger guy, Dustin is smaller and more athletic. Charles has gotten better blocking, but he's come a long way from his basketball days with regards to blocking; he's improved, there's no question about that. We think that Dustin is the most improved player on the team. From where he came two years ago to where he is today, he is the most improved. So much so that we believe we need to get him on the field more. Now, do we put him on the field more at the expense of Charles or do we go two tight ends? You'll find out later on.

It was tough, ... It teaches you a lot -- a lot of humility. You're humbled real quick.

Price was down 3-0 to that guy, and then came back to strike him out.

Coming in, we expected a tight game like this. We didn't capitalize on some of the opportunities that we had, but a lot of the credit goes to North Lenoir.

As a navel-gazing exercise, I guess that?s very interesting, but as an editorial decision, I think it?s terribly irresponsible. It seems to be a rather calculated effort not to advance any discourse on the events of the day but merely to provoke.

They're crazy. Their cheers are coordinated. They just love to have fun out there. They support their team. They hassle the opposing team. They do it real well and they're real loud.

It was good because we hit a lot of balls on the nose.

It's fun and I wouldn't miss it for the world. This parade is scaled down compared to other cities, but it's all about family in this town, and that's what it should be about.

That's something I got to go home and call my dad and tell him about. He'll probably be more excited about it than I am.

It's definitely something we can learn from. It teaches us that we've got to finish strong, and that's something we haven't been able to do.

I've got a different perspective now because I'm on the outside looking in.

It's tough because public records laws already depend on the good graces of public officials. This technology creates a horrible temptation to cheat.

They are under everybody's radar. If you are standing in your back yard, you are within sight of one.

Anytime they put it in my area, I pride myself in being able to get it, but I just didn't get that one.

I'm a receiver, so any time he puts it out there, I've got to make the catch. It doesn't matter where it is. I've got to make it, and I didn't make that one.

I'm a receiver, so anytime he puts it out there, I have to make the catch,

Being in the Big Ten, ... they're all going to be close.

But it's a team thing. The team won it.

Garrett needed that performance. Garrett (threw) six innings and then Jackson came in and did what Jackson does ? throws strikes and gets people out.

The key was going there and scoring three runs in the first inning. Yesterday was our most complete game. Hopefully we will play better and things are coming together for us.

The half-inch of rain we got this past week was a Godsend. It helped get us on the way to getting a good crop out of the ground. That is the first step.

The great trend out there ? that sweeps across any record ? is privacy. There's a push by government that every time Joe Citizen's name is mentioned in a government document, it's an inherent threat to Joe Citizen's privacy if that document is released.

The court has said you don't criminalize expression to protect against bad acts. You punish bad acts to protect expression.
