Steve Ryan Quotations

With Nikki pitching, or Taylor pitching, there aren't many balls hit to our fielders, and when there is one, our defense came up real big and made the plays. Even if there was a hit, we're not getting rattled. The six seniors kind of hold us together.

She gets to a lot of things that a normal shortstop doesn't get to. She's just smooth out there.

Nebraska is recruiting a different style of player now. It's a completely different player offensively and that's exactly what they have done thus far.

New South Wales has been getting a lot of flak for holding back the national economy, but the latest signs point to a turnaround. We think the state will surprise the doomsters.

One of the big keys for us will be offensive and defensive rebounding. We have done well both times against them and will have to do it again.

I would guess it was spur of the moment.

Getting Beck was so huge for them, ... We perceived Beck as the No.1 quarterback on Nebraska's board. They told him if he comes to Nebraska they would not recruit another quarterback this season. And they haven't.

Here we are just into 2006 and already there is another mother planning to bury her son. It's sad. It's the first homicide of the year and we have a long year ahead of us.

When they got a couple of those runs in, our shoulders kind of sunk a little bit.

We were having some trouble with their zone in the first half. The kids did exactly what I told them to do, and we were able to make some plays late.

We know nothing at all about the starts most of these teams are off to, as far as records go.

We believe 1999 is the year of the wallet.

Up until now, there has not been a standard method for capturing information about which credit card, billing or shipping address consumers want to use in any given online transaction.

We want to create geographical balance, and we have discussions ongoing in West Coast markets. To open up a region of the country, you have to establish a foothold.

There's no legal amount of discrimination we can practice in here in the SU, in Ashland. There is a legal level of discrimination in the military.

The strength of profits certainly suggest the business sector is currently running at a decent clip.

It's a long day, we're out there a lot of hours, but it brings the team together. It's great competition; the teams we play in this tournament get us ready for our conference competition starting next week.

That helps us going to the seeding meeting.

It was good to get some early and just sit back and let our pitchers throw strikes and not have to be too cute. Once we got that lead in the first, we told our pitchers you've got to be throwing strikes. No free passes, let our defense do the work. We only want to throw strikes, no walks at all.

I have very high hopes. I know that the league is extremely strong this year, but this is a team I really like. We are very young, but the kids all have good skills and love the game. They practice hard, and we would certainly love to return to the tournament.
