For us to keep going and not bow down and get beat by 30 or 40, which could have easily been done, I'm still proud of our team. I don't know if you would use the word casual or laid back, but we just didn't come with it right away. Especially on the road, that's going to get you killed. |

Games are among the most interesting creations of the human mind, and the analysis of their structure is full of adventure and surprises. Unfortunately there is never a lack of mathematicians for the job of transforming delectable ingredients into a dish that tastes like a damp blanket. |

Gavin's been practicing really hard lately. He's really focusing more on defense and playing more aggressive than he had to this point in his career. I think when you do that in practice you can gain trust from Coach, and I think Coach trusts him enough now to put him in that situation. |
George Bush seems to want to run against Bill Clinton, who's not on the ballot this year, ... They're not running against the Clinton/Gore record because it's been so good. It's not real fair to Al Gore to hold him accountable for President Clinton's personal troubles. That's not right. |

Guys are moving up to Memphis. Guys are going to Houston. Guys are going to North Louisiana. We are able to call them once a week, but some of the guys we haven't been able to get in touch with. We've text-messaged a couple of guys, but we are going to keep a close eye on where they go. |
Hans-Olov's work at Volvo demonstrates great insight about brand strength and connecting with customers, ... We'd like to leverage that wisdom across the company. At the same time, we know it's important for him to stay involved with Volvo, one of our Company's greatest success stories. |
