We have no God-given right to expect to rule the CFU area...but, I am sorry...hard work with our abundant talent pool should have us ruling the roost!
Hey! - It cannot be about merely being top of the CFU, it must be about walking to the TOP OF THE WORLD! Yes Iyah - FORWARD!"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

"Donovan was excellent. We knew he was a good player, but he really didn't do anything wrong in the whole game and made it difficult for us."
