I think John's place in Syracuse basketball history is underappreciated, ... We were facing some tough times and he easily could have turned his back on us and committed someplace else, but he stuck with us. During that 1996 tournament, he literally carried us on his shoulders to the title game. |
I think our chances (in the Big East Tournament) are real good. We're ready to play anybody, regardless of who it is. It's that time of year. It's March. Everybody has to step it up a few notches, coaches, players ... this is no longer the regular season any more. Now it's either win or go home. |

I think that everybody understands some of the sensitivities and concerns in the region. And we would just hope that those with concerns about this issue could work together with the Japanese government to resolve any of those concerns through the use of dialogue and in the spirit of friendship. |
I think that minority business owners should be up in arms over this. The government has never hit the 5% minority business contracting goal and now they're recommending eliminating the minimal opportunities that minorities have in doing business with the Federal government. It's unconscionable. |
I think that our whole schedule, despite whether people have numbers next to their name, no matter what, we have a very difficult schedule. [Syracuse] has a lot of the same characteristics as a team as we do, a similar physicality and similar speed. It's going to be a battle. It's a big rivalry. |
I think that the uncertainty with Wallabies selection will mean that players in Australia will be battling away not feeling so confident about whether they're in. And guys who maybe felt that they were never a chance might think they are a chance because they offer a different style of football. |
I think that this title is really a testament to the boys' character and what they bring to the game -- the intangibles, the desire to win. It's almost a code of honor that they have to give 100 percent every singe game, and nothing else is acceptable to them. They're a remarkable bunch of guys. |
I think the Budget is going to be positive. The last government numbers up until December point to a small deficit and, pushing it out to the full year, the deficit should be less than 1% of GDP. There is scope for government to spend more and provide more tax relief at the low end of the scale. |
I think the interceptions have a lot to do with the underneath coverage. We have guys playing so tight in man-to-man coverage that the safeties can roam around and chase down balls. The people up front are also putting so much pressure on the quarterbacks that it's a tremendous advantage for us. |
I think the most encouraging part of what they're doing is that they have had now a certain amount of incremental time since Allen came on board to upgrade the executive suite, so to speak. The people are very experienced people that have a better sense of how a centrally managed business works. |
I think the need for compensation in Alan's case is obvious, but there's also a need for rehabilitation. I definitely think there should be some compensation or assistance. On the other hand, I don't want other prosecutors to see this and be afraid that admitting a mistake is going to be costly. |
I think the overall picture is going to be one of extreme strength and the pool of labor is not getting any bigger. The Fed's concern is that wage increases will start outstripping productivity gains. So far that hasn't been a problem but that's what people are looking for in this week's report. |
I think the reason I've given it any consideration is my concern for the state and I don't think we're moving in the right direction, ... On the personal side, my family kind of feels like we've been through this. We've done this, we've done our time. And I think that's a valid position as well. |
I think the stocks all reflect concerns that the estimates won't hold up because the economy will weaken. If it becomes clear the estimates do hold up, I'm confident the stocks will do well. I've got fairly conservative estimates, below consensus, and the stocks are steals based on my estimates. |
