Sioux Quotations

We're playing good defense right now. But, the main thing is that we've been shooting the ball a lot better than we had been.

If we can raise the money in a couple of weeks, or a couple of months, that's great, we'll get started on the project right away. If the fund-raising goes more slowly, we may need to look at other things the hospital can do to help. That might mean providing a bus for transporting dialysis patients back and forth to Sioux City.

Imagine a nineteenth-century Jane Fonda visiting the Oglala Sioux in the Black Hills before the battle at Little Big Horn. Imagine her examining Crazy Horse's arrows or climbing upon Sitting Bull's horse. Such behavior by a well-known actress no doubt would have infuriated Gen.

Right now the biggest difference between us and West Sioux are our second and third runners, because our second and thirds are over 30 seconds faster than their second and third. We feel pretty good about how we're doing heading towards districts. West Sioux had beaten us earlier in the year and we've beaten them twice in a row now.

This expansion also reflects the talent and dedication of the folks who already work at John Morrell.

The Fighting Sioux came back very hard on us. They came on very strong.
