At the end of the evening there was a club full of smiling faces, as well as a very happy manager!

Mark Cuban

With Nellie, we tried it the other way. Nellie was brilliant for what he did, but for whatever reason, it didn't work.

Now, we're more geared to play defense.

What this group has managed to do is not let anything get in the way of their goals in qualifying and winning games.

They just keep their concentration and get after the task at hand.

We were hungry, and we were really confident and went 5-1.

Julie Brough

We're stalled. When you see oil prices back up to their high, you've seen gold hovering around $600 US, people are making some really good money and I think there's a lot of people who are just taking the opportunity to crystallize some gains which is keeping the market at bay a little bit right now.

Paul Stamm

We've approached the other trusts and have gotten a verbal commitment, but they would like to be able to be the monies that put us over the top in the project. This has a great chance of being a reality and we really need $10 and $25 donations from people in the community.

We've always wanted to try to figure out ways to improve our attendance. There's no doubt it's a great advantage if you can have a lot of people in the stands cheering for you and cheering against your opponents.

Jonathan Mayers

We've always tried to reflect people's diverse music collections. We don't want to dismiss our core in any way, but . . . as great as Widespread Panic has been to us and has been a really big part of what we've done, we can't have Widespread Panic every single year.

Wayne Chrebet

We've always taken great pride in going to other people's stadiums and sticking it to them. We have a great opportunity this week to not only show ourselves, but show everybody with a national game, that were certainly better than a 2-4 team.

Joe Balogh

We've always said that you can't win the league in the first round of the season but you can lose it. I think that is the great part of playing in the NCC.

We've always said Chris is going to get better with opportunities to get better. He's got a pizzazz about him on game day that I'm real comfortable with. He's charismatic and clutch. He's shown great resolve and toughness.

When I was a kid growing up, we had a cherry tree in the backyard, 100 years old. I climbed it, and it gave shade in the summertime and excellent cherries in the late summer. Having cherry blossoms around gives the best springtime vibe ever.

We're missing five starters. We need them back, but we're winning games now with guys I didn't expect to get much playing time this season and that's good for our depth later in the season.

We remind them where they were seven weeks ago. That's the thing in my mind. Seven weeks ago, we found out the people who like you because it was unconditional. We're involved now and it's seven weeks later and it's all conditional. They love you because you just won seven straight games.

We're so busy broadcasting our latest cultural disdain that we scantly notice anything we enjoy. 'Oh man, this Rebecca Black kid is terrible! Let's laugh at her!' has become more culturally relevant than, 'I really love this new Bilal record.'

Colin Lundgren

We're getting to levels now where to buy bonds you have to subscribe to the notion that the economy's going to experience a slowdown and the Fed may have to reverse course later in the year. We don't subscribe to that.

World of Warcraft is completely owning the online game space right now. Look, Matrix Online is good, but it's like being in the early '90s and trying to put a fighting game up against Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter; it's just not going to happen. There are a lot of other online games that are just sucking wind right now because so many people are playing WOW.

David Scurto

We're making excellent progress. It was a very informative meeting and it was good for us to be able to hear from residents that live in both the north and south ends of the city. It was very interesting to hear what they had to say.

James Lilley

We're going to pull the five powers -- Russia, South Korea, Japan, China, the U.S. -- together, not to corner the North Koreans, but to begin to present them with pretty strong options and requiring them to make a move.

Bill Richardson

We're going to focus on two important areas: one is verification, the second is what steps are the North Koreans taking to dismantle their nuclear weapons ? concrete steps,

Marvin Avery

Michael Gaughan

What they've done to Las Vegas Boulevard is a crime. North of the South Coast the Strip narrows from three lanes to two lanes to one, then back to three lanes. It's a real pain, especially in the late afternoon.

Barry Russell

We're starting to find a way to win by finding a way to get on base however possible. Sometimes it seems like we find a way to try to lose and we need to overcome that.

Larry King

We're going to point her towards that race again, and we need to get a couple races in her - this seems like a good place to start.

Sean Kinney

We're going to go and play the songs one more time. It seems like the right time, so I figure we'll go out and play a few gigs and see where it goes. I think we might just show up in assorted places in the U.S. in the next few months without much notice and play some clubs and little theaters, and then go to Europe and play these festival gigs. Beyond that, we don't know at this point.

Nicole Piggott

We're going to do what we've been doing all year. It seems to be working fine.

Lisa Willis

When we do our pre-game talk, we talk about certain people not liking pressure. But it seems like none of their players likes pressure. We tried to jump on that, totally, because that got our defense going. And we knew that if we kept pounding them and pounding them ? not just stealing the ball but just getting stops ? that would frustrate them.

Richard Wiseman

What his research seems to be saying is that women are the laughers and men get the laughs.

Buzz Hargrove

What they're saying to us is that they are selling our jobs out to the market. We're not going to take that. Sunday or early Monday we will likely tell them that we will strike them.

With two strikes, that was a big homer. Anytime you see a guy do that with two strikes it's a plus.

Mark Everson

We're moving aggressively to reduce the tax gap, ... But no one should think we can totally eliminate the gap. That would take Draconian measures and make the government too intrusive. We have to strike the right balance.

James Comey

We face cyber threats from state-sponsored hackers, hackers for hire, global cyber syndicates, and terrorists. They seek our state secrets, our trade secrets, our technology, and our ideas - things of incredible value to all of us. They seek to strike our critical infrastructure and to harm our economy.

Peter Callero

We're pleased we won't have to strike on Wednesday.
