We like to push the ball, get it in the lane and kick it back out. When we do that, we know we have a lot of guys who can shoot the ball and make shots. Obviously, we made a lot of shots tonight. We're playing with a lot of confidence right now, and we couldn't have picked a better team to be at our best. |
We looked a little rusty [after four days off], but obviously we woke up and showed much better effort. Sometimes you look for things to inspire the team, and Shooter's goal did it. ... When Dale scored and Dewey got the hat trick, you could really feel the chemistry. They're a tight-knit group right now. |
We looked carefully at the design, including where and how we integrate the antennas. There will be no bumps or external bits sticking out. It will be positioned to avoid noise generated inside the system - performance should be better than other embedded solutions, and better than some PC card solutions. |
We lost a football game, but I think we found a defense. I liked the way we played, from a standpoint of effort and aggressiveness. I thought we were very physical. I thought we took the fight to Notre Dame. They're a very talented offensive football team. (But) there's nothing good about losing. Nothing. |
We normally play man. However, we thought we had to try something to offset that huge size disadvantage. In addition to changing defenses, we knew we would have to shoot well and value the basketball to hang in there. Doing all of those things against a team with that kind of talent is asking quite a lot. |
We played a great defensive game. We played with a lot of intensity and a lot of effort. These guys gave everything they had tonight. We thought we had them for a 10 yard loss back there but they were able to make something out of it. I think if we had gotten them stopped there it might have sealed it up. |
We played with a great effort tonight. Our hustle was outstanding. We played terrific first-half defense. Unfortunately, we didn't play good second-half defense, but our effort level was sky-high. Guys were really energized to perform well. They know what's around the corner. They know we have to improve. |
We recognized that people didn't have connection to the outside except by telephone. That really limits their connection to the outside to connect with family. Plus, these folks have been traumatized by this tragedy. Having them work with the volunteers to find their family is also a cathartic experience. |
We saw a lot of different looks out there. We've always been a team that's capable of adjusting to different things and we've always been able to adjust on the fly. We didn't adjust quite fast enough today. That's why they're the champs and until somebody takes it away from them, they're still the champs. |
We still have four games to play. And we've still got a chance. I think we're going to need some help, probably. Hopefully, we'll get some. But you can't be the kind of team that keeps looking around at other teams and what they're doing. You've got to take care of your own business these last four games. |
We take pride in our program in doing things right . . . just too many things that weren't quite right, ... I hate to see anyone's story here not be successful. You want it to turn out right, you work for it to come out right. Just too many situations. I thought this was what's best for our football team. |
We talk about no excuses because we've all had some sort of adversity that we've had to deal with in our lives and that's there to make us stronger and not to be used as a crutch. Erin is an extremely talented player. I've changed her around to play her at the two (guard) to get her scoring a little more. |
We talked a number of times about how good this team could be if we dedicated ourselves to a single goal. Swimming in Ohio is so fast that you must train all year long in order to be successful. Unfortunately, we didn't do that as a team. The drive to next year's state championship meet has already begun. |
We talked about it at the beginning of the season -- that we had a very tough stretch to open the SEC schedule. We only have two losses to non-top-20 teams, and our team understands that. Our team is very focused on the big picture. We're in a very good place, and we're in a position to do extremely well. |
We talked probably on a biweekly basis for quite a while, so he could see how my training was going. My second marathon was in the fall of 2001, using Tom's [training] program. We were seeing each other at Checkers' [running club] practices. It went on for a good number of years, and we were just friends. |
