We have played to earn respect, and the way you earn respect is by going out and winning the next game you play. That approach has helped us get here. I don't know too much about Pittsburgh and what their year has been like. Let's just go out and take care of business. It sounds like that is the sort of formula that has helped them get here, too. |
We have repeatedly expressed our concern that there is a rush to judgement in this matter and for political reasons, the indictments and prosecutions of a limited number of drifters will be passed off to the public as a completely successful investigation resulting in the arrest of all concerned. These assurances are, to be certain, not credible. |
We have substantially and successfully concluded our asset disposition plan and intend to promptly apply these proceeds to repay our senior unsecured notes. These actions will significantly improve our financial flexibility and interest coverage, providing us a much broader ability to address business issues and further enhance shareholder value. |

We haven't played the same type of game two games in a row. Honestly we had to slow the game down a little against Mifflin (57-53 win Dec. 20) and Brookhaven (58-53 win Feb. 11) and we just slowed it down in a lot of different fashions (last Friday). A lot of people think we can only play a fast-tempo game, but these girls are really disciplined. |
We look at it two ways, ... One, we're going to match up each of those guys with an outstanding pitcher of our own, so it's not like Houston is going to have a lot of fun hitting against our pitchers. And what we've done over and over again for a while now is the eight guys that have played, whoever they are, they are going to take their at-bats. |
We needed to stay away from the big play and make some big plays ourselves and we didn't do that. Four minutes into the second half, and we're down three scores, and then you need to be very careful with play calling. When it's only 6-0 you can milk the clock with your running game and try to gain some room to pass, but at 17-0 you can't do that. |
We played them last year in preseason (a 31-0 Jaguars romp in an exhibition finale the Patriots' regulars sat and watched). We played them the year before that in the regular season. I think there's some application on those games. I'm not sure how much. We'll look at those But this team is this year's team just like we are and everybody else is. |
We proved that the most important evidence against O.J. Simpson had supposedly been found in unusual places by a thoroughly racist LAPD detective-a detective who had been caught on audiotapes made years earlier admitting the LAPD planted evidence-a detective who for some unknown reason had been present in places he had no legitimate reason to be. |
We respect the long history of debate that's going on with water quality in the Tahoe Basin. We respect that decisions need to be made on the local level. But I don't think anyone would suggest air deposition has been adequately addressed or that the question of the impact of development on the water quality of Lake Tahoe has been fully resolved. |
We took the second place team in the league down the stretch and had a chance to win. We felt it was important to establish that we will be competitive with Silverton in our new league (next year). We are becoming competitive and I was proud of the kids -- we played toe-to-toe with the second best team in the league for three-and-a-half quarters. |
We try to put together a non-conference schedule that will help prepare us for the Patriot League Tournament. Teams like Hobart, Maryland, Penn and Penn State are all tremendous programs, and we are looking forward to playing two rapidly improving teams in Air Force and Denver in a Friday-Sunday trip, which simulates our league tournament format. |
We wanted to focus on the defensive end of the floor. When you hold a team to 49 points, that's always pretty good. The thing we really talked about at halftime was even though we were up 12, in past games, the 12 went to 10 and 8, and we let those teams hang around. We wanted to push that 12-point lead to 15 and 18, and concentrate on attacking. |
We weren't ready for the game and they were. You've got to give them credit. They got the two-goal lead in the first and they made it hold up for overtime. We knew (Philadelphia) hasn't been playing well. That's when teams are going to come out hard. We warned the guys beforehand. Then we came out and didn't compete in the first period. They did. |
We're all going to be looking for the employment rate and looking for that corroboration of this economy slowing, but the picture is ultimately confusing, ... You've got earnings slowing to the point where it's certainly pinpointing a recession and you've got Mr. Greenspan [Fed chairman] trusting some indicators and not trusting other indicators. |
