...think some of our students and others in the athletic department can take themselves too seriously at times. When it comes down to it, (sports) is still a game--though a great one; and it's possible to overdo it and overplay...
...pretty irrelevant. This is what you do: take someone you love or like a lot out to dinner on a Friday or Saturday night. Have a modest meal--some medium-priced seafood, perhaps (lobster is okay if you can afford it)--and a carafe of Chablis. Don't overdo it: you should emerge a wee bit sloshed and pleasurably filled.

"It's like in football, where they keep computer cards on every player--your height, weight, how fast you run the hundred. They emphasize physical characteristics. One time a scout told me that the best way to impress a scout is to throw like hell for five innings, and don't worry about how long you can last, or about where the ball goes...
