Sometimes a producer and an artist get together and they make magic like Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. As far as my own music career - you could liken my chemistry with Timbaland to Marty Scorsese and Robert De Niro.

When it came down to the last few games in district we had to win to make the playoffs and the kids stepped up and got it done. They stepped up again Tuesday night in a playoff atmosphere.

We're going to need everything out of Ricky ? and all of us ? to make a playoff run.

Brian Rolston

When we came into the season, I don't think there were a whole lot of people who thought we were going to be close to a playoff position, maybe including the organization. We have to battle every night to get there. It's going to be tough, still. But we can be there.

Steve McKinney

We were supposed to be contending for a playoff spot right now. Instead, we're contending for the No. 1 pick in the draft. Our fans are kind of frothing at the mouth over it.

Kirby Sundheim

What they might lack in skills they make up for in heart. They each keep on coming back against tough opponents and want to learn to get better.

Brett Tomko

We remember that stuff because it takes us back,

Larry Krantz

Bill Bryk

We've always preached winning. Winning is a part of development. We've always preached that. You try not to sacrifice development in order to win.

Adam Pine

We've always had it in us. I think the men's team will continue to get stronger and stronger and we'll be winning many gold medals in the future.

Jim Hendry

We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.

Chuck D.

We've always got a chip on our shoulder, they always say the offense has to pull us through. But in order to win games in the playoffs, we knew our defense had to step up.

Barry Alvarez

When we win big games, our running backs play well.

It was an event. It's so different today.

Grant Woods

When I was a boy, we all learned the story of George Washington and the cherry tree and accepted it as gospel truth. The present, more enlightened younger generation, however, is well aware that this incident never happened, but that it was the invention of Washington's most famous biographer, the Rev. Mason Locke Weems.

We're so much interested in seeing the younger generation helping the next generation because that generation has been so helpful in the past.
