We had several opportunities -- we didn't have a ton of shots on goal -- but the opportunities we had were really high-quality opportunities that we couldn't finish. I think this game really easily could have been a 3-, 4-, 5-nothing game. |
We had some tough losses. Our goal this season was to win 20 games, and we figured we were going to fall short after those one-run losses, but we've been working all week on hitting the first-pitch fast ball and that's what we did tonight. |

We had to bring our underwriting standards up to a level equal to the rest of the state. We had to look at the loans to be sure we had no more major losses. We had to get our staff trained. We've buckled down and done what we needed to do. |
We had to think we could still get in it (in the second half). The kids came out with their heads high. But on our first possession, we had a turnover and they scored off it. That was a tough one. We needed to come out of the gates strong. |
We had two men to choose from, and Neil Armstrong, reticent, soft-spoken, and heroic was our only choice. He had no ego. He was not of a mind that, 'Hey, I'm going to be the first man on the moon!' That was never what Neil had in his head. |

We have a responsibility to get these guys ready for the regular season. We are doing pretty much what they do in Spring Training like fundamentals and extra work. We owe it to them and to the organizations that allowed these guys to play. |
We have a whole new basketball team. It's going to take time to nurture this team. We may have survived a little if we were in Conference USA with this team. But surviving in the Big East is another story. You've got to grow up in a hurry. |
We have accomplished a great deal in 1998 and have made enormous progress in laying the foundation for solid future performance. The performance of our lodging operations for the fourth quarter remains strong and ahead of our expectations. |
We have always been in favor of a very rapid process to dispose of these allegations and to resolve them quickly and with justice. The majority (of the committee) has mastered the 'talk' of speed, but is not conducting the 'walk' of speed. |
We have always had a policy that if it's illegal to do off eBay, it's illegal to do on eBay, ... We have made some changes and additions to our existing stun gun policy. We want to continue to keep people from doing illegal things on eBay. |

We have been able to watch a variety of terrain and undertake review of a whole variety of imagery and talk to an awful lot of people over time, ... Factually, those are the places right now we have been led to pay very close attention to. |
We have been on a constant drive to create operating efficiencies, while maximizing the effectiveness of what we do for our client. This goal is driven both by our own desire to run a good business, and our client's need to minimize costs. |
