Approach Quotes
I don't get too caught up in setting records. My entire approach this season has been about learning, gaining experience and getting better. If I tie or set rookie records great, but I am much more concerned about ending this season on a high note. The best note I can think of would be to win one of these final three races.
-
Best Quotes
I don't care if you have the best team in the country or are Cinderella, this is the hardest game to play in that you'll ever play in. The goal for most people is to have an experience of being in the Final Four. After you've been to the Final Four there's no experience like it, except winning a national championship.
-
Bonding Quotes
I don't buy the bonding thing, either. I mean, there are 80 guys up here, and a lot of them won't even be on the team. And it's not like we're going out and doing anything together; it's all football, all the time. It would be more valuable to wait until the final roster cuts and then have a big party for everyone who makes the team.
-
Affects Quotes
I am sure it affects people, but that was not our goal. I'm sure there's people that are bothered by it, but we've been preparing for three months. We attacked it like (Friday) was going to be our final practice and he had a good run. He came in and said he had a lot of speed and he knows best.
-
Agreed Quotes
I am very satisfied with the bid document. But before submitting, we will give one final look at the document April 17 in Dubai. Once our bid is accepted, we will decide where and when the matches will be played. But the four countries have agreed to host six matches each of the initial league phase.
-
Attorney Quotes
Based upon parameters that are dictated by a court settlement, the attorney general often consults with the governor, but the final determination as to how the monies are returned to the people of the state lies with the Attorney General's Office, again, based upon the parameters that are dictated by the court.

Action Quotes
I'm a little disappointed with today's result, to be honest, given we were fastest in the second session yesterday. The engineering crew did an amazing job to get the car back on the track and it's unlucky we were held up by a red flag in the final segment of qualifying, as that was my best lap of the day. The forecast for tomorrow is rain again, so I'm sure we're going to see a lot of action and I look forward to advancing through the field.

Doctor Quotes
I had totally anticipated being ready to play last January because my doctor had said three months, blah-blah-blah. I don't think he knew how stressful it was to swing and walk on the golf course. My foot never healed. Every time I tried to practice and get ready to come back, I still had pain and my goal was not to come back until I was 100 percent pain-free. By the time this year started, I still wasn't 100 percent. In Hawaii, I could still feel it. I still feel it now but I can swing without pain. I think walking the last month has been the final healing process. Right now, it finally feels good.
-
Accurate Quotes
I feel that historical novelists owe it to our readers to try to be as historically accurate as we can with the known facts. Obviously, we have to fill in the blanks. And then in the final analysis, we're drawing upon our own imaginations. But I think that readers need to be able to trust an author.
-
Anyone Quotes
I can tell you that anyone who has attended our public meetings or hearings is going to find no surprises in the final report. We're going to talk about education. We're going to talk about how to market the state's space resources. We're going to talk about economic development. But you'll have to wait until Wednesday.
-
Compete Quotes
Getting to this point is such a significant accomplishment for any program, with the history and tradition of the NIT. It really is a big thrill - particularly for our seniors. It has been well documented how much they have done for our program, and it is very fitting that we have an opportunity to compete for a championship in their final game in their final year.
-
Aspire Quotes
(Friday) during our final drill in practice, we took the 1944 championship game ball and during our last press breaker, we got a chance to run up and down the court with it. We join the 1944 team and now people aspire to the 2006 team. This is a testament to all the hard work that resulted in a state championship.
-
Backward Quotes
I don't think you could name another city that was so huge with its contribution, wealth and population, then went backward like Detroit did. We went from big to smaller, and now we're building back up. The Super Bowl will change the conversation about Detroit. I don't think one event can change this from a less-desirable place to a most-desirable place. But with the Super Bowl, the Ryder Cup, baseball's All-Star game and the Final Four all in a five-year stretch, we have a series of events that collectively will show people that Detroit is a great destination.
-
Allow Quotes
I don't understand how people can rush to a solution before they finish the investigation, ... There's an awful lot of evidence that hasn't been gathered yet. People need to allow the process to go forward in an orderly manner and not assume that they know what the final outcome will be either way.
-
Against Quotes
I don't think it's weird. I think Ray and Jake handle that situation well. I think it was more important for Ray to win last year, because he had lost in the final the year before. I haven't heard him say a lot about it, but I'm sure he'd like to repeat. I think it's more important for him to play well and have the best season he can have overall. It's probably tougher to play against a friend, but it's something they have to do.
-
Clearly Quotes
I don't think people clearly understand how good our league is. We're the third-ranked conference in the country. We just aren't top-heavy. There's not someone that looks like a Final Four team right now, but someone could play their way into that. Instead of being top-heavy, we have a lot of good teams.
-
Games Quotes
From the standpoint of scheduling games, it makes our life a lot easier. It's tough for us to find games in January and February, and considering that this schedule will take place during the final six weeks of our season, it's perfect. That takes away a lot of the headaches we've had over here.
-
Baseball Quotes
For us, we've had so many cliff-hangers lately, we were really looking for the final episode before baseball to be less a traditional cliff-hanger and more a signal of the show being in a new place, ... There's a sense that the show has really moved over the course of those four episodes and set up some new dynamics.
-
Cup Quotes
For us right now the focus is definitely going to be on results. If we can come out and definitely put together a good performance and do all the things we need to do then you gain a little psychological effect with the fact that you are going into the Open Cup Final on Wednesday. But, we go a game at a time right now since it is the end of the season. We just need to focus on taking another step forward with our team and making ourselves better and get prepared for the final push in the playoffs.

Battling Quotes
I give our gals credit as they kept battling right to the final buzzer. But that's what these seven players have shown all season, solid effort and a never-say-die attitude. This is a nice bunch of young ladies. They represented our team and school well throughout the 2005-06 season.
