revealed the Norton, Ohio $1,000 winner. We crashed this car into the wall three or four years ago and we thought we were going to cut it up and throw it away, but we've been working on it and it's been better. I just wished it didn't rain so much this year.

He gets credit for having the courage to identify and tackle the challenge but I think they wish he would spend more time selling (the programs and rationales).

We met a lot of friends since our kids came here.

We have over 500,000 tons of toxic electronics that are being illegally disposed of in landfills in California every year.

We're always looking for slogans or phrases that have a little bit of a dual meaning, because I think that is part of the hook.

To beat Taittinger is a real coup. You don't have to pay sky high prices to enjoy quality champagne.

We were on prayer lists (at area churches) and we also prayed a lot - we believe that helped.

We just lost a very dear friend, and someone that young kids always gravitated to. Young athletes in this town of any age always sought his honest advice, his encouraging smile and laughter. He was special that way.

I'm really pleased that we were able to reach an agreement with Randy on a contract extension. I have tremendous respect for the way he runs the program.

I'm happy with the effort they gave. We learned and that's what we came out to do.

If we can break through just once (in basketball), that would open up recruiting. Our biggest challenge is our lack of tradition. We've got to be successful to get on the radar of the good players.
