Lupoi used the word over and over Friday during his introductory news conference to describe how he will approach everything from recruiting to hiring a staff to keeping his players on task academically, to winning football games.

Mr. Dickinson criticizes the East Bay Times for never publishing anything positive about the current president. I have no doubt the East Bay Times will publish such a story if and when such a situation occurs. The Times did report on the president's efforts in getting to a ceasefire and hostage release regarding the war in Israel and Gaza. Other than that, I honestly can't point to anything positive the president has done, especially given all his campaign promises of lowering prices and only deporting the "worst of the worst." His administration has been nothing but cruel and heartless decisions affecting millions of hard-working people who need economic help, health care, food, education and protection from ICE.
