Greg Peterson Quotations

Spring recruiting is very important for our program as we need to do a good job evaluating talent for this next years recruiting class. Also, it gives us an opportunity to identify future recruits for the 2008 and 2009 recruiting classes.

My parents bought four plots right away when they went up for sale about 30 years ago. They wanted to insure that the plots would be available. It meant a lot to my mother.

Most of all he is a friend. I just don't want to see him go.

Each coach on our staff will visit between 90-100 schools during the next four weeks as well as various combines located in our recruiting areas.

As an old, jaded, painted whore of the theatre once told me: 'Just BE THERE, F**K!'

They moved the monkeys into the Myrick Park zoo, but the water in the moat froze during the night and the monkeys ran across the ice, climbed the fence and ran. Naturally, the first place they went was to the only house there ? my mother's.

It really hasn't been noticeable, and they've been around for a while. They're whole different games. In video lottery, a large percentage of your play is poker and keno, and they don't have that.

It's one of those things you never get tired of. It's flying in its purest and simplest form. And it's very stress relieving.

He's probably the No. 1 sports personality in Minnesota in the 20th Century. He would come in here as just a fun, personable, regular guy who made people light up.

It takes effort to promote what you do until it becomes habit.

[T]he final step in becoming an urban farmer is the naming of your farm, even if your name is simply for the few pots on your front porch. Creating your name helps to build a sense of place within your neighborhood as well as pride in your accomplishments. By naming your farm you give it a life of its own. Be creative and come up with a name that inspires and makes people smile, like my friend Laura's "Wish We Had Acres," the Fairy Tale inspired "Jack's Bean Stalk" or my "Urban Farm.

I envision a day when every city and town has front and back yards, community gardens and growing spaces, nurtured into life by neighbors who are no longer strangers, but friends who delight in the edible rewards offered from a garden they discovered together. Imagine small strips of land between apartment buildings that have been turned into vegetable gardens, and urban orchards planted at schools and churches to grow food for our communities. The seeds of the urban farming movement already are growing within our reality.

I believe that virtually everyone has the ability to either grow some food at home, or to find an appropriate location to start a garden. I may sound like a kook who plants my landscape with cucumbers instead of carnations, peppers instead of petunias, and fruit trees rather than ficus, but I am convinced that wherever you go, you can grow food! Now is the time for us to join together and plant the seeds that will transform the places in which we live.

No matter where you are you can grow something to eat. Shift your thinking and you'd be surprised at the places your food can be grown! Window sill, fire escape and rooftop gardens have the same potential to provide impressive harvests as backyard gardens, greenhouses and community spaces.

Creating your own urban farm is as simple as planting your flowerbeds with edibles.

Our downfall as a species is that we are arrogant enough to think that we can control Mother Nature and stupid enough to think it is our job.

Let nature be in your yard.

The gap is closing between the teams. We've had some injury problems, missing two of our top five girls. We had the depth today with 11 girls finishing in the top 20. There is nobody in our top 15 that is a senior.
