We are tremendously pleased with the results of the contest. All the entries were wonderful. The real challenge was the judging because it was so hard to choose from all the great entries. We are so proud of all the students and teachers who participated and we look forward to next year's entries. |
We are very excited about this large recruiting class. I feel we are bringing in some guards that can help us immediately and some forwards and centers that will probably be our front line of the future. These players are not only good basketball players but most have excelled in different sports. |
We are very pleased that the Wizards did not match and that Steve Blake is now part of the Trail Blazers family. As we said when we signed him to the offer sheet, Steve has competed at the highest level in college culminated by his experience at Maryland and winning a [NCAA] national championship. |
We began investigating the '672 Patent in 2001 and have spent more than three years enforcing our property rights. We have not found any convincing arguments of invalidity, including the recent claims, and as a result we are confident in the patent, and look forward to an efficient re-examination. |
We believe in the right to keep and bear arms. We believe in hunting and fishing. Those activities are part of our national heritage. I don't care if you're a Republican or an independent or a libertarian. If you have an opportunity to pick up a voter registration application, I want you to do it. |
We believe that the CEO will tighten operations execution. Business is trending in the right direction, underlying franchises are strong, and what is missing is attention to operational execution, a situation that we believe will be rectified. We think this is an attractive place to put new money. |
We believe the One-Year Secure Plan with Heat Relief offers Houston-area consumers an innovative option to help manage their summer energy costs. Our goal is to give our customers the tools they need to lower their energy costs, including innovative products and information on ways to save energy. |
We both do what we need to do to win the game. In my case, we have a young team, so in a lot of circumstances, I've had to carry the load for us to be competitive in ballgames. But I hope [Iverson] in Philadelphia and I in L.A., we can get to the point when we won't have to score that many points. |
We came out focused. Like they say, it's hard to beat the same team three times in a row, because Winlock played us tough the first two times (both Toledo wins). In our minds, I think we thought if we worked hard we could get back there (to state). But I don't think anybody expected us to go 22-2. |
We continue to believe that the attorney client privilege should protect conversations between government officials and government attorneys. The American people benefit from decisions made by government officials, including the President, on the basis of full and frank information and discussion, |
We could have had media day in a pup tent. You came down here to race and you went in the garage and worked on your car. They tried to hype it up and add TV. There wasn't the intensity that you have in the sport now. People are getting pulled in so many different directions; it's hard to have fun. |
We could hear Davidson down the hall partying and yelling and screaming. I think he wanted it to light a fire under us. ... The seniors just wanted to make sure this wasn't the last time we all played together, the last time this team was going to be together. And we made that point to each other. |
We decided to do a Belgian waffle breakfast at the VFW [three] Sundays ago. Four or five volunteers got together and put it on. People flooded in. We had a wide variety of ages; people were unbelievable. The guy from the Guilford Lobster Pound knew Bubba and gave a $100 check; that got us started. |
We did a lot better towards the end of the season when we won seven of eight. We know where each other is on the court. We have better ball movement. We're moving off the ball. We're seeing each other better. That's a big improvement. The defense has picked up a lot. We're getting back on defense. |
We didn't execute very well. I have not done a good job in getting us to where we're executing well enough and I thought that made the difference. Then we went to the foul line and we're [6-15] and we lose by nine. But this was a good tournament for us and we felt good about getting to the finals. |
