I think the big fight down the line for Alex is against Scott Harrison. That's the one I'd like to see happen when Scott moves up from featherweight. There's not a lot of love lost between the two guys and I think it would be a tremendous fight for Scottish boxing and a national TV audience. It's a fight I think Alex would win. |

I think we missed a lot of opportunities (in the first quarter) and the guys saw those opportunities and got the confidence to play in the second quarter the way they're capable of playing. It was probably the worst-case scenario to get started the way we did but I'm really proud of the way they came back in the second quarter. |
I think we're finding what may clearly end up being security fraud, ... Attempts not to hedge or put debt out of the company, which many companies do, [but] literally fraudulent, phony attempts to do so in violation of current accounting practices, practices that should've been discovered by Enron's auditors at Arthur Andersen. |
I think when you're the highest-paid player, pressure is a part of the game. It's part of the business and I don't think that's anything new to him. I think it was maybe easier in Pittsburgh to deflect some of it because of previous accomplishments like the scoring titles and the Stanley Cup rings. Here he hasn't done that yet. |
I thought last game certainly was his best performance, especially in terms of pass rush. I think he's still learning the league, obviously. Heck, I'll be saying that until midseason probably, maybe even the end of the season. But I think his conditioning is getting a little better; he's getting in a little more football shape. |
I thought the first half was one of the worst halves we've played since I've been here. It was just absolutely terrible. We didn't make shots, we had no value for the basketball and we didn't get second shots. I don't understand it. We've already played 19 games, and to come out and play how we played, there's no excuse for it. |
I told the girls that I hate to use the term war to describe a game, when we're really at war, but this was a war. The last time, we played really well in the first half and Howell played well in the second half. This time around was so much more emotional. Howell made its run and we just kept imploring the girls to make stops. |
I took a glance at the clock, and I only saw a couple of seconds and I still had three balls there. So all I did was try to hoist them up there as quick as I could. I don't really know if I got the last one up in time or not. All I did was just try to get rid of it as quick as I could. Whatever I did got me to the second round. |
I want to thank the fans, the students at Iowa State and everybody who has stood by me for these three years. I also want to thank Coach Morgan for all his help and assistance. I feel like I have played against some of the best players in the nation while competing in the Big 12 and I am ready to test my game at the next level. |
I was able to get into a little bit of a rhythm there. The biggest thing was getting ahead. Once I got ahead I could start to mix in off-speed stuff, keep them guessing and off-balance. In the first inning I'd be 2-0 and everybody in the park knew I was going to throw a fastball. Once I settled down it made things a lot easier. |
I was aware of some misunderstandings but I saw them as a temporary problem. But with time the standoff grew into a conflict and backstage intrigues. I am convinced that the time has come when my colleagues lost their team spirit and faith. And today, however hard it may be, I must cut this Gordian knot, in the name of Ukraine. |
I was kind of working through the ball and trying to catch it, and all of a sudden I'm lying on the ground. I still got a piece of it, but not enough, ... At the time, [they were] two pretty big runs. At the time, it's like the whole stadium's watching you. You have that feeling -- you're thinking that might have been the game. |
I was really proud of the way we played this afternoon. Everyone played well and we were very consistent. It is nice to know that when we play to our potential, we can compete with most everybody that is that on our schedule. I'm looking forward to tomorrow to see how the guys respond after playing a great round this afternoon. |
I was so stoked I got it out early. I was nervous because I fell on the first hit of my first run, but I didn't care that much because I knew I had a better run in me. I practiced this run before and made it really sketchy. I was barely hanging on, but it just came together for me tonight. It seems to happen in contests for me. |
