Bob Curran Quotations

When it was 25-20 and they scored, it felt like miles away to get seven points made up.

Last year, we had 3,000 wells drilled but fewer than 20 complaints. These complaints are for all types of issues, including water, noise and surface impacts.

If we have kids who can put the basketball in the basket and take care of the basketball, we can do the other thing. It's kind of hard to teach kids to put the ball in the basket.

For such a young team, the schedule worked out perfect. It really gave us a lot of practice time.

He had to work so hard to get open shots. It's hard when you're not a rhythm and you're not getting as many shots as you're used to.

He had a couple open looks there and (being a) good player, he knocked them down.

When he's scoring a lot, we're not at our best. When he's letting the game come to him and getting other people involved, he's making his teammates better.

He's a good shooter. He knew that to win the basketball game, he had to step up and provide scoring.

He was limping a little bit (Thursday) afternoon. But once the adrenaline starts pumping, he should be OK.

He did shoot around with us. He seems to be fine.

I think the double overtime (game) against Bloom last time at Bloom last time (had us ready for this one). We know Bloom has a lot of talent so they are capable of doing some damage.

I think we kind of made a decision as a staff and the players did, too, to stay away from the summer circuit, get back to the gym and get back to fundamentals. We only played about 27 summer games and did not get in any weekend tournaments.

Our pitching staff has to lead us. With the fact that we will be playing better defense, they should all be successful.

We're widely regarded as having the most stringent and complete sour gas regulation in the world.

You know, the kids got up and down (the court) and had fun. Hopefully, they got in a little better shape doing it.

We actually put heart-rate monitors on the kids and they practiced with them. That way, I could tell who was working hard and who was not. That was just tremendous for us.

We have been frustrated by privacy conventions and other problems in data gathering. So we decided to design in some techniques that would improve our results. We conducted some user group meetings to understand our buyers' characteristics, whether they were programmers, or CEOs looking for an overview, or users seeking tech support. Our registration rates have more than doubled, and the new navigation process deserves at least partial credit for that.

We didn't give up, which is nice. These kids want to win; they are just young in a lot of ways. I told them that when you watch an NBA game, you don't see guys running around confused about what they're doing.

Cole did a good job of controlling the middle. We had a hard time getting some offensive rebounds. ... If you did get inside, Cole's big and long. He's right there and had some blocked shots.

There wasn't that hype that we usually have at Thornwood, and I think some of the kids took it personally. They're smart kids, willing to learn and they work hard every day.

They're good students ... and good role models around the school.

It's just hard to tell where you're at till you go through conference.

It was really weird. I talked to my wife -- I think we were 10-6 (when the rumor took hold). All of a sudden, we finished 11-15. I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

Dan is a three-year starter with an excellent glove who is a good line-drive hitter.

It's tough against the zone when you don't make any shots. That was kind of the game right there.

They hurt us early inside. I think the bottom line is they did what they wanted to do.

Being short, I had to look over heads. I saw the one kid shooting the ball. I saw the ball go through the net a lot.

He threw a lot of first-pitch strikes. He competed all the way through. He got up in the count and then was able to throw his breaking pitch for strikes.

The kids are used to close games with the style we play. I hope they continue this for the next two games.

The guys did a great job of communicating and switching out and finding the shooters. The whole tournament we've faced great players and we want to take those guys out of it.
