I think our attitude has always been to get the best player available, particularly early — or you could end up missing out on a guy. Later on in the draft you can zero in on a position you're light at. You rank them based on who's best from the top on down and cross them out as they get picked. |
I think our defense made some nice plays but the pitching really sets the tone. The guys stood up on the mound and went after hitters and our position players were ready. We had some timely hitting. Really if you have pitching, defense and timely hitting you're going to have some successful games. |
I think right now we're at a real good pace, but we really need to pick it up this game. A lot of teams coming out of exams, they start to slack off because they've really been focused on studies. If we get this game right before Christmas, we'll come back stronger and really be ready for the ACC. |
I think that at some point in the season there became a belief that we could get some things done as a team, not any one individual. We made it our commitment to defend, and getting over that hump of beating Simon Fraser gave us confidence and made the belief grow. It became a very powerful thing. |
I think that's a great advantage for them. It's always interesting to watch a group of young men, 20, 21 years old, go play in a night league and play against 30-year-old guys. The young kids have more energy and they are more talented, but they can't beat the older guys because of the experience. |
I think the only way to stop their power play is to not give them one, pretty much. We like the wide-open style that they play. There's not as much clutch-and-grab, so we're allowed to have a little more space, use our speed. It's gonna be an up-and-down game - fun game to watch, fun game to play. |
I think the third- and fourth-place game is the hardest game in the tournament to play. Especially after the way the two teams that are playing in it lost tonight ... It's who can come back on their feet, and it's going to be tough for us. We've got a locker room full of disappointed and sad kids. |
I think these are good changes. I have already played some doubles and will continue to do so in the future. More singles players will probably do like me and play more doubles under the new format. Also, it will be good because doubles will be played on the main courts and will be better exposed. |
I think they did well. I thought they came out and they made some freshman mistakes early but I think they battled through it and came through, obviously, with Michael Klein getting the goal. But I thought all of them, for their first game at the college level, did OK. They'll continue to improve. |

I think we have continued volatility until we really see signs of growth in the economy slowing. When we see the economy slowing, I think that people will be more comfortable with the fact that maybe Greenspan is not going to have to continue to raise rates, then I think the market can move ahead. |
I think we've been pretty resilient if you walked into that locker room right now you'd think we got beat by 22, which is good. Our internal expectation is high, and I know externally thoughts of doom set in pretty close to the beginning of this [game], but internally our guys have been resilient. |
I think what it does demonstrate is that we're committed to building a strong nucleus for our football team, and part of that effort is making the right decision about the players you reinvest in. We just consider Kurt Warner part of that process, to reinvest in quality people and quality players. |
I think when you lose a child, pretty much you're willing to do anything to get that child back or the memory of that child back, to actually cross that line, ... you're never quite sure. Do they just go into this kind of crazed insanity because of the pain? Or is it really true? It's a fine line. |
