we felt that there were indeed concerns ... our posts in the region, and this region including Yemen, have been on a high state of alert for a long time since the Africa bombings,and in connection with recent events we have asked posts to look very closely at their security procedures. |
We got a glimpse of what can happen, where we can be. And with a very good Colorado team coming to town with a week off, certainly we'll have a tremendous challenge there. But I think being at home, this is a time we've got to build on. We've got to take advantage of it. Seize the day. |
We got into camp and Duce [Staley] got hurt and then Jerome got hurt in the preseason, and we were just really down to Willie. Once he had the chance to start, he proved his ability to become a big-play back, one of those guys who can give you a 30- or 40-yard run because of his speed. |

We had a focus in terms of providing more money for public education, a slight increase to state aid to municipalities, when other states took far more Draconian measures, in terms of reducing the school week to four days, ... Actually, some states talked about letting prisoners loose. |
We had a good conversation about what we needed to do for next year. It shouldn't be an issue. It wasn't the game-planning; it was execution and them getting more attuned to the opponent than we were. If you look at the tape, there were plays out there we missed that we shouldn't have. |
We had an opportunity in the first inning to get the game headed in the direction we wanted to and they got Jeff [Kent] to hit into the double play. From that point on, Jae Seo was in control of the game. He was throwing his offspeed pitches for strikes all day long in hitters' counts. |
We had the long fourth-down situation and Eric Parker and Drew make it down to the 7-yard-line, and I'll be honest with you, I realize there's no certainty, but I felt very confident with where we were. I just felt good that at the 7-yard-line we'd find a way to get it in the end zone. |
We have $5 million a year to give, which isn't that much. But the companies only have to wait a few months from the time they apply until the award is given, and we're really looking for those with potential for business development -- and that can make an economic impact in the state. |
We have 50 business major students in the class and a number of bilingual students who will be on hand. Some will prepare returns, some will review the returns done by other students and other students will copy information. Some students also will be involved in the electronic filing. |
We have a sabbatical program, which is fairly unusual throughout industry, but I think really unusual in the retail business where people who have been with us for 15 years begin to take a month off, and then up to two months off with longevity to get out and enjoy time away from work. |
We have another gear to put out. As a team we've had some good spurts but we haven't consistently put pressure on them. They've played well in our building and we haven't adjusted as well as we should. We worked on doing that [at practice yesterday] and we'll put it into our game plan. |
We have been and are probably in the midst of some sort of significant recession, ... The stock market predicted it ? it's already down. Since the market has already priced in the recession, we get these really strong reactions on the upside when there's a glimmer of anything positive. |
We have been doing a very good job mixing up our rush calls, and I think our kids are very in tune with what we are calling, and they are executing. They have a good understanding of what is going on and down and distance, and our get up off the ball has been very good because of that. |
We have been saying for some time that a bank is not a bank, ... and I think you are will hearing more of this, you know, look back at the Fed and what they had to regulate had 10, 20 years ago, it's totally different from a bank today, with the full financial service mix of products. |
