One of the first things I told (the players) was that if they weren't committed, then they were in the wrong place. I was very up front with them. I expected a full-scale commitment. ... To do anything successfully, you've got to be committed to it. |
One thing we talked about is being an inexperienced team, when you get adversity, everybody's got to come together and pick it up. I think when they saw Laura go down, who's one of our tougher kids, the kids had a little bit of an emotional letdown. |
One thing you have to realize about New Zealand is the majority of their products are exported. It's a country with a land mass about the size of Colorado with about four million people. They can definitely produce more goods than what they consume. |

One, seniors tend not to retire in Minnesota. And therefore, a lot of the Social Security money is not coming back to Minnesota, and particularly the Medicare and Medicaid kind of money you would see flowing to New York and in particularly, Florida. |
Only a couple of employees were supposed to be here. Close to our entire staff came in on their own to help clean up. We appreciate that. We've also had phone calls and community members stopping by to give us a hand. It's a little bit overwhelming. |
Only reason can convince us of those three fundamental truths without a recognition of which there can be no effective liberty: that what we believe is not necessarily true; that what we like is not necessarily good; and that all questions are open. |
Oral history represents a democratization of the history-telling process ... this thing of having history recorded from on high for us, instead of doing it for ourselves, has proven to be a risky business. We need to have history from the bottom up. |

Other airlines have found they've grown faster than they could successfully manage. When you add that much capacity, you have a lot of risk during market downturns. You can't stop paying bills for new airplanes just because passengers don't show up. |
Our approach and intensity level has to be consistent on a daily basis and I think that we are going to see how the team's psyche is in this week's games. I told them after the game that all is not lost and we just need to take care of our business. |
Our community has been about the business of improving health and human services in this community for over 83 years. We are a community that knows what matters. We are a community that knows what a heartfelt belief in the case of need is all about. |
Our defense took over in the fourth quarter, and I was proud of the way our team played. Even though we won the game, we have a lot of things to learn. Our athleticism and quickness are the keys to our team, and we need to use them to our advantage. |
Our families are great. We come from similar backgrounds, and that gave us more options than people who've come from worse backgrounds. Everyone makes their own choices, and we just decided to choose music. And it's been going alright for us so far. |
Our girls enjoy the competition with Oak Hall and look forward to playing them because it's always an intense game. We had an up-and-down season this year, we lost eight games by one goal and played a really tough schedule, but Oak Hall played well. |
