This time around you're talking about half a billion dollars being infused. In some respects, it's a whole new ball game.

Brownback is ambitious, and he has a goal, and that should be respected. Sometimes you have unintended consequences.

I don't think it was the national splash he was hoping to make.

When was the last time we won two or three in a row? ... That's what we were talking about before the game, and nobody could remember. Isn't that amazing?

You can spend way too much time talking about things like optimism, pessimism, what your hopes are,
