O. Henry Win Quotations

I have certainly made mistakes in the past by not being more assertive when bumps in the road appeared. Larry, Theo and other managers in the organization do not need me in order to excel at what they do, but I have a responsibility to ensure that divergent views and our overall direction lead to a better and stronger organization. We've averaged winning more than 95 games a year since we purchased the club. We've listened to the fans and improved the fan experience greatly. We have provided excitement during the season as well as the off-season.

This should give us a lot of confidence. I've said this all year and I still feel like we have a shot at winning the state if we stay healthy.

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.

I would like to thank the dog owners for having the confidence in me and for allowing me to race their dogs. There's no way I deserve all the credit.

It's a big win because we didn't concede a goal. 1-0 is always better than 2-1, and we've shown we can keep a clean sheet.

As a captain me, Sean and Chris had been on the team since we were freshmen so we knew the role we had to play as leaders on the team. If things were down, we had to pull the rest of the team out of the troubles. Knowing we had been there for four years we were used to the practices, going to the tournament and the difference between playing against rivals.

He's a huge, huge competitor, and today he really did try to win that race. He went out a little too fast, but you can't ever tell somebody not to try and win the race.

We know we cannot win this long war by ourselves.

They did a great job winning the ball and tackling.

The stained-glass windows are original, although we had to have this little transom restored.

The team really works hard, everyone does. It's a great group of kids, and having a winning record is better than going 0-16 like we did last year, so it really shows how far we've come in one year. It's important to us. Our coaching is awesome, and how we play, it's just real hard work.

The (Florida International) women and Western Kentucky men are probably the favorites, but any one of three teams can win on either side. It will be close and exciting.

Besides the second game yesterday, this about matched Georgia last weekend as far as how effective we were swinging the bats and getting runs in. Hopefully we're hitting on all cylinders here.

We're playing really well right now, everything is starting to come together. Our pitchers are throwing well and with the confidence we have right now, we feel like every time we step on the field we're going to win.

Despite the attempts of some to portray Theo's return as a win for someone and a loss for someone else, this is a win-win situation. As Theo said in his press conference on Nov. 2, and as we have all repeated, there never was a power struggle between Larry and Theo. It was simply mythology. I can assure you as we move forward that Larry's role has not changed at all, and no general manager in baseball could ask for more autonomy than Theo has. This has never been an issue for us - only in the media.

It's not our forces. It's not the Western world that's going to win the global war on terrorism. It is going to be the moderate Muslim population, the ones who are the principal victims of this terrorism.

That took a little pressure off. And I didn't expect that to be the winning goal because they're a dangerous team but it was a huge relief.

We feel we were the better side; we constructed the tries to win the football game. But this great rivalry between the two sides is there again, which is great.

Both Oklahoma and Dell will win big from this business relationship. Our state gains good jobs and a global business leader renown for making technology easier to use and more affordable, and Dell gets a great home with a wonderful supporting cast of highly skilled employees. It's a win-win for everyone.

This game is pivotal for the result of the Tri-Nations, so we can't go ahead and win the Tri-Nations unless we do the business tomorrow night.

This was my birthday present. Winning the game was all I really wanted. It was a cutting fastball a little bit over the plate. It was a huge win after (Friday). We were real flat coming back from (playing) Dixie State. We needed a win to get us on a roll.

This is probably the greatest amount of change since I've been in the organization. Not allowing a school to play up without a vote by the principals has caused a lot of this change. It's funny; at one time schools would fight to change districts.

It's important that Arsenal has the same sporting ambition as me. Deep down I would love to win the Champions League.

We're feeling good at the plate right now. A lot of guys are swinging it well and we've got a lot of guys that have a lot of confidence. We just started putting up a lot of runs. It's a lot of fun when you do that.

When I threw it, I thought I walked in a run. I didn't think there was a chance he'd swing at it, but he was sitting there waiting on it, I guess. It was a good piece of hitting and a bad piece of pitching.

I'm really glad he could win the race. Unfortunately when we go there, that's not really what we're looking for. When we go to that meet we're looking to qualify. He's definitely capable of qualifying.

I am going to cry when he steps down. Dennis deserves to win everything in the game because what he has shown, not only at Arsenal, but with Holland.

I'm pretty sure that if we win, we're through (to the playoffs). I can't imagine that with five conference wins we wouldn't go through.

We think China is a growing regional power and we want to partner with them to manage their gradual rise.

I wanted to be on the winning side (on the record), but to it was truly unbelievable to have the season we had. The kids just stepped up and played well.

I thought we played some superb rugby in the first half; we played well in the last 10 minutes again to win the game and that's probably a summary,

It is said that love makes the world go 'round - the announcement lacks verification. It's wind from the dinner horn that does it.

Young artists must pave their way to Art by drawing pictures for magazine stories that young authors write to pave their way to Literature.

It's an up and down game. I think we scored something like 99 on them when we played up there (a 99-89 win on Friday, Jan. 13) so that's the type of game they like to play.

Before the game, I could see a lot of people's faces. They were focused. We needed this win bad. It was a big day.
