If you look at who gets a competitive advantage -- companies like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Procter & Gamble, Gillette -- the big global companies certainly are positioned very well to not have an impact from this interest rate increase. Primarily overseas is their growth market so any slowing here won't affect them, |

If you make decent pitches to him, you give him respect because you know he'll swing at anything, ... You know he's going to put the bat on the ball. And if he can reach it, he will. The pitch was probably not necessarily where I wanted it, but he just as well could have popped it up, too. |
If you would have told us in October that with four games to go, we'd have a chance for the fifth (playoff) spot, I think everybody would have taken it. At the beginning of the season, everyone was questioning whether we would make the playoffs. Now with four games to go we've got a chance for the fifth spot. |
If you're asking me and anybody else on this team, who you'd like to have as coach (before the season), Bob is the natural choice. He was a joy to be around and I wanted to win games for him. I think there were times when I put too much on my shoulders to make things better. In this case, we all let Bob down. |
If you're not happy with this win, fellows, you got a problem with your ego, ... I'm happy to win. It's been nine months since we won a game. I'm real happy to win. I told the players that . . . We won. That's a pretty good feeling. Now we got one more win than Oklahoma's got, and that feels pretty good, too. |
In districts it's going to come down to defense, it's as simple as that. We definitely have some chinks in our armor that we have to get fixed, but you have to remember that even though we're 17 games into the season, these are still high school kids and we still have to coach. You just hope they get it soon. |
In order to deserve, we must pay our dues and steadily work for perfection. We must relish in struggle, and relinquish pride. We must dispel fear and seek enlightenment. We must shun division and honor love. We must know our hearts and seek to understand others. We must try, live, create, feel, grow and love. |

In some places if you get to the Final Eight and lose to the No. 1 seed and win 32 games, there's 6,000 people waiting to meet you at the airport when you go home. But with us, with our tradition, people say, 'What happened?' We're just a team that came close . . . a team that almost had a chance to be great. |
In some ways, Ann has always been looked upon as the Andy Pettitte of women's basketball. Everybody else was always the star, but when you really needed something she always gave it to you. And people just take it for granted. That's just Ann. What's she great at? Nothing. But she's really good in every area. |
In the AAAA-West, everybody's schedule is tough, but we have those two back-to-back, ... We didn't bounce back from last week. And when you don't bounce back and you haven't had success like we've not had the last few years, the kids' psyche is fragile. We got down early, and it kind of snowballed from there. |

In the best interests of the team, the sooner this decision was made, the better off. And I knew that. It gives Drew the opportunity to start working with the first team now. This is usually the preseason game where the first team goes for the first three quarters, and we need that. It's time to move forward. |
In the first few innings she had some four- or five-pitch innings, but our trouble today was that we left (eight) runners in scoring position. We really had opportunities in every inning almost ? in the second I think we left runners on second and third ? so it's just a matter of getting those runners across. |
