Losses Quotations | Page 2

Right now I don't think as much in terms of wins or losses as much as seeing how the team performs. How we handle the long trip and how we come together as a team is what I'll be looking at. As long as we work hard and do things right, I'll be pretty happy.

I'd like to think that we're talented but inexperienced. We'll see how that ultimately translates into wins and losses later in the season.

I felt like this year's team would be great to coach, a fun team to coach. They would be a team that would play unselfishly, play together.

I feel so bad for our guys. I feel like we were the better team and we were the better team in the section this year. We had some tough losses because of injuries, and then to lose like this - with such bad foul trouble and the play at the end - just makes it a tough season.

Great people like Dick Lewis make great radio. Dick and his team's ability to serve the people who suffered tremendous losses as a result of this natural disaster is a demonstration of local radio's highest purpose, and of why this medium is fundamental.

Given the massive catastrophe losses absorbed by insurers in nine-months 2005, the increase in income and surplus during the first three quarters of the year is a testament to the underlying financial health of the industry. But we can't afford to lose sight of the fact that, as bad as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita were, insurers and the public remain exposed to far more devastating catastrophes that could strain insurers' ability to fulfill their obligations to policyholders. According to PCS, Hurricane Katrina caused a record $38.1 billion in direct insured losses to property. But catastrophe modeling by AIR Worldwide shows we face the prospect of hurricanes causing more than $100 billion in damage. Even as we applaud insurers' success coping with the catastrophes of 2005, we must do more to assure that insurers and the people they serve will survive when even more devastating storms strike.

Given the massive catastrophe losses absorbed by insurers in 2005, the increase in income during the first three quarters is a testament to the underlying financial health of the industry.

For rather particular reasons, the interior-design industry moved more quickly than fashion to cope with AIDS. One reason is that it is made up of generally smaller businesses than fashion. The human losses were more quickly noticed.

Further complicating any assessment of the dynamics of reinsurance markets and how those dynamics will affect primary insurance markets, the unprecedented losses caused by this year's hurricanes may change insurers' perceptions of the amount of risk they've taken on and the amount of reinsurance they need.

I don't think anyone has quit. But if you haven't noticed, this isn't the team that we had last year. And because of that we are trying to find our way. You can't just take away important pieces and try to get around that and we haven't recovered from the losses we had last season.

If any family has suffered losses or damages as a result of Hurricane Katrina and has not registered for assistance yet, I urge them to call and register before the March 11 deadline and learn what types of assistance they may be eligible for.

I think they have confidence in themselves, too. We just have to start showing it now.

We took some tough losses early this year. But it's good to take on three solid teams in less than 24 hours. It shows we can take a few punches and jump right back into the ring.

We've got to regroup and rebuild. We kind of have to analyze things. We're still 14-2 in the conference, so we still did a pretty good job. Our two losses just came at the end.

The 2002 distribution is almost a mirror image of the 2005 distribution.

Kids are kids and you never know what they're gonna do. They may have been a little leg-weary, and a little mentally drained. It could be a number of reasons. But I really like this group. They're smart kids. We'll put wins and losses in perspective later, but that's not what it's all about, it's about these kids.

I would think if we can beat Norris City (Tuesday night), I think we can get one of the top four seeds. Benton will be one of the strongest teams in the complex.

Job losses cut directly into the spending of the newly unemployed, and indirectly tend to have a very real impact on the confidence of those who are still working.

I take losses in a positive way. I learn from losses. I dwell on them for about 10 minutes, and then that's it.

I think it just took a couple wins, just a couple successes. Not going out and having bad things happen all the time.

It became a $400-million hit. Most of that came from insurance losses, but also losses of infrastructure. And sadly, it cost four people their lives.

It certainly was one of the more disappointing losses we've had in an awfully long time.

It certainly was one of the more disappointing losses we've had in an awful long time. I'm proud of the way the kids came back. But I'm incredibly, incredibly disappointed in the loss and incredibly disappointed in myself.

I think the Bank of Canada sees these manufacturing losses as a smooth and necessary adjustment.

It is going to be an intense, but very exciting year across all our brands. We made strides in 2005 versus the significant losses in 2004 and we aim to continue our momentum in 2006.

I was concerned after those first three games because of the kind of mistakes we were making in one-run losses to tough teams. Either we were trying to do too much, or we were falling asleep. So today I called them in and challenged them (in the middle of the game). I said, ?Apparently we?re headed back in the same direction.? You saw the response.

I thought we'd be anywhere from a seven to a nine seed, but I thought we'd be at home. I think those losses to Rio Hondo and Victor Valley really hurt us.

I thought we played well enough in Washington, but again we didn't score the big goal. That was probably, to me, one of the toughest losses I've gone through in the way we lost it. I thought we made some terrible mistakes on the (winning) goal. ... As a coach, it was a tough one to eat.

I thought we played really hard tonight. Even though we have had some disappointing losses the kids still fought. We played well we just missed some open shots.

I think we've come together as a team. Last year we had an up and down season. We would have one win and then two losses and then another win. There was just a lot of inconsistency. This year you can feel that everyone is into it.

I think it took them a while to hit their stride as far as jelling together. They are not the biggest serving team. Their hands are very good and they return serves real well. I was impresses with how they played in a couple of tough losses right there to start the season and they figured out what would work for them and have gotten it going.

I think it was pretty close, ... Especially with the end of the season, we had been through some tough losses down the stretch. It was hard to take three years of losing, especially when you aren't used to it. I thought it might be best if I moved on. I took my time and talked to a lot of people, and it's turned out well for me.

I think it's that time right now where we know every game is crucial and we're trying to win the Big Ten here. You can't win it with two losses and fortunately everyone has a loss now. So, every week is for the Big Ten championship and you can't take anyone lightly and you just got to keep playing hard.

It has been a long hard August with significant volatility. Twenty-one of the last 30 Septembers have yielded losses on the month. It is difficult to see that this September will buck the trend.
