We knew online dating even just two, three years ago, had some stigmas attached to it, ... So we made a very conscious decision to invest heavily in mainstream advertising, like television, radio and outdoor advertising. Now we just wish those who think it's OK to give it a try. |
We knew that in order to be effective against their defense, someone would have to find the gap and take advantage of it. Bob found that gap again and again in the second half, and we was able to execute well. He played with a lot of heart and a lot of emotion out there tonight. |
We knew the season was approaching, ... and we wanted to get things resolved prior to that because he didn't want that distraction, nor did the Steelers. I think both sides created a sense of urgency, and we had substantial talks over the last couple of days to get where we are. |
We knew we had a shot, but we knew we had to play well. We knew we had to play our best defensive game of the year. That was something we had to wait to see if we could do. ... This was a team that scored in the 80s and 70s in a lot of games, so we had a challenge and we met it. |
We like our line as much as we liked last year's line, ... That's saying a lot because last year's line was outstanding. This group doesn't have the experience, but they may be a little quicker. We have more depth than we did last year. It will help us on both sides of the ball. |
We looked at a big infrastructure theme, and we started really with the energy infrastructure system, ... We own coal companies that mine the coal. We own the rails that transport the coal. And we own the construction companies that build coal plants. Coal is half of our energy. |
We lost a lot of our starting players [from 2005]. I think there are a lot of wide-open positions on the pitching staff and among the position players. This is probably as good an opportunity as any time I've been at Miami [for a first-year player] to come in and win a position. |
We lost some guys from last year, but I think they did a good job of keeping this team intact, and we think we've got another good shot at a Cup here. With Colorado, it's always going to a special game for both teams. There's been such a great history of great hockey between us. |
We lost to [conference champion] Albany [65-63] after we had an open shot at the buzzer to win it. Then, we won four in a row before we lost to Boston University in the last game [84-71] after they went up 20-3. We caught BU at a time when two of their guys made all their shots. |
We made some offensive adjustments at halftime, but they just exploited what we were trying to do with our four-man front. We lost to a good football team. We're going to take this loss like men and get up off the ground and we'll come back next week and give it our best effort. |
We made too many mistakes to a well-coached team. They hit the ball well and put pressure on our defense. Clontz, Attaway and Conley did well swinging at the ball. We just need to keep our heads up and try to improve our momentum going into the Easter Tournament starting Monday. |
We may have hit bottom here, to some extent, ... We're facing two quarters -- the fourth of 2001 and the first of 2002 -- of close to zero growth. But this may be the first recession we've gotten through without two quarters of consecutive shrinking gross domestic product (GDP). |
We must run the ball better. It's unbelievable. I thought one of our standards of gold this year would be our offensive line. We have some bright young players there. And we never did get the toughness, or what I would call the power running, that I thought we were going to get. |
We need a more productive inside game and to get more shots out of our post players. We have to find a happy medium. We're taking the path of least resistance. We have to have an inside game when our outside shots aren't falling. We're not attacking on offense like we should be. |
