Derek Smith

And I can't even name more than a handful of stocks that have come through.

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

Mario Harpel

We wrestled well. We are learning how to compete through the lineup. We won five matches and could've won four more. There were a couple of close matches.

Jamie Dixon

We've always thought he was a very good player and always believed in him. He just happened to play on some very good teams behind some very good players. Last year, he developed and got better. He played in a lot of big games against a lot of good people.

Oscar Wilde

What a fuss people make about fidelity! Why, even in love it is purely a question for physiology. It has nothing to do with our own will. Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot: that is all one can say.

Henry David Thoreau

We feel at first as if some opportunities of kindness and sympathy were lost, but learn afterward that any pure grief is ample recompense for all. That is, if we are faithful; -- for a spent grief is but sympathy with the soul that disposes events, and is as natural as the resin of Arabian trees. -- Only nature has a right to grieve perpetually, for she only is innocent. Soon the ice will melt, and the blackbirds sing along the river which he frequented, as pleasantly as ever. The same everlasting serenity will appear in this face of God, and we will not be sorrowful, if he is not.

Challenge your limitations for the pure joy of challenge.

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.

Barry Alvarez

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

Ed Huydic

When we win and look good winning, it's because we've got some transition and we're knocking some perimeter shots down. We did not have the kind of transition night I wanted but we did stick some shots from the perimeter when we had to.
