We swung the bats well and pitched really well. The guys have been doing what we ask them to do. Our Achilles heel is definitely the defensive end. We have two or three pop up in one inning. That is a sign of a young team and we are a very young team.

Mike Maney

We told Justin before he went out there that the headlock was coming. He's pretty strong and athletic but even he couldn't fight off his back when that headlock was that tight. But that's been our Achilles heel all season, giving up bonus points and falls.

I started with the Target Company in 1993 when their Christmas theme that year was 'It's A Wonderful Life,' and they reunited the actors who played the Bailey kids.

Brian Rose

He might have been approached but I can't say if negotiations are taking place... all I know is that Bailey is still the coach.

Greg Heiar

Gulf Coast played tremendous. They got some great individual performances from Ray Bailey and Robert Mitchell. We were just lucky that we made our free throws.

Chris McAlister is probably the toughest defensive back for a wide receiver. It's a combination of his size and strength. He's the whole package. Troy Vincent , Champ Bailey and Charles Woodson are up there, too, but McAlister is the whole package.

Dave Harris

I thought Aaron wrestled a very good match. The Bailey kid is the best wrestler in the nation, and Aaron was tied with him until the final 20 seconds. Wrestling kids of that caliber is why we come to these tournaments. It's a great experience and does nothing but make you better.

Bob Grimes

Marcus Walton

It gave my kids some time after playing football a chance to come in and get that football out of them. To get their legs back under them. It's a difference between game speed and practice speed. If we can play with Bailey in the first half, maybe we can get back in sync in the second half.

Bob Romeo

We've averaging 61 points per game, but the thing that makes me the proudest about this team is its defense. We've held teams to an average of 31 points per game. A lot of players get to play (as a result of big leads), and that means the kids on the bench are doing a good job defensively as well.

Michelle Ferry

Denny Butler

We're going to play 11 or 12 kids every day, so it's not like we'll have three or four kids on the bench just waiting until next year everybody's going to have to contribute. That's what has made it fun so far.

Chuck Jones

David Stout

We're going to need very large volumes of flu vaccine for the pandemic. Having access to this additional capacity will be a big benefit for us.

Dixie Carter

When we first met, I was so impressed with him. But Hal took a dislike to me, just like his character in the play. Probably my Southern politeness, which he thought was kind of phony. It was only near the end of the shoot, when I was sick as a dog with the flu and I stopped trying to charm him, that he got over that dislike, and we started to laugh together.

Edward Thomas

We feed the kids first. We use the pool water to flush the toilets, ... We are just trying to make things livable.

When we were foul trouble and they drove to the basket, I told our team not to foul. I'm surprised they didn't take it to the basket more.

Jeff Lebo

We're small. We have to play aggressively. We can't back off because we're too little. We don't play the brightest by any stretch of the imagination. We just make some plays. If I had any hair, it would be out. We foul way too much. All of that has to do with us being small. We really have to play that way, but we have to be smarter.

Hayden Fry

We're going to foul up once in a while, but people need to know we don't do it on purpose. Playing the game with integrity-that's what it's all about.

Dale Neibauer

When we go to the basket and get in a situation where they have to foul us, we shoot pressure free throws very well.

Jason Cain

When we got in foul trouble, everybody was digging down and trying to help out on Johnson. That's what makes him one of the best players in the league. People have to double- and triple-team him and it leaves everybody else open.

Brian McDermott

We guarded pretty well except for the last five minutes of the first half. (Eastern) really went after us inside (the lane) and got us into foul trouble. They took advantage of it, but, fortunately, we shot well for the first time in a while.

We got to the foul line quite a few times. Didn't make as many we would have liked, though. But it was the fools' gold that beat us. We were 1-for-17 on 3-point attempts. You can't shoot like that against a good team like East.

Cathy Inglese

We got to the foul line a lot more.

Mark Waters

Usually, like, on 'Mean Girls,' the task that Tina Fey and I set for ourselves was we wanted to maintain a comic intensity throughout the movie, where people just don't really get a break from laughing. And if they do, it's for a brief emotional scene, and then we're going to once again try to knock them on their heels again with comedy.

Vince Ferlita

We're just knocking the heck out of the ball. My Achilles' heel is pitching, and it's a double Achilles' heel. It's just come to fruition worse than I thought.

Madeleine Albright

I am the only high-ranking U.S. official to ever meet with Kim Jong-il, and we are the same height and both wear high heels.

Caitlin Moran

The unwearable of high heels is self-evidently all around us, coming to a head at the average wedding reception, a uniformly high-heeled occasion. In our minds, we see it as a serene and elegant gathering of women in their finest, one of the big chances of the year to pretend you're at the Oscars, in your stilettos. In actuality of course, ... there are women staggering around in the unaccustomed vertical, foot-flesh spilling over tight, unkind satin.

Sarah Everson

We're sorry for everything we did and for hurting anyone that we hurt.

Rebecca Norgard

We're so close. We made a few mistakes and then they had a good hit. If we don't make those errors, the hit wouldn't hurt us. We'll get there.

Dave Wood

We?re going to give away some size up front and that could hurt us a little bit against the more physical team in the league like Wilkes and Lycoming. The question is will we be able to put enough pressure on the quarterback. That?s going to be our toughest problem.

Kenneth Fisher

Hundreds of investors ask me questions each year about the dilemmas they confront. Their worst problem? Uncertainty. They are traumatized and become emotional or confused to the state of inaction. Even worse, they try to solve a short-term problem in a way that hurts them financially in the long run.

Richard Bernstein

What we're seeing today is a relief rally from last week, ... There is really nothing to hurt the market today. All the techs are rebounding well.

Wes Moore

What they've done in the Southern Conference the last four years has been amazing. If they had gone out any other way, it would have crushed me and probably hurt them, too. They deserved to go out this way.

John Velazquez

Whenever somebody gets hurt, we try to get some guys together and get a collection to get some sort of money to the person who needs it. But this one is a pretty severe tragedy, so we are trying to do something a little more aggressive to raise a little more money for him.

Greg Garrison

We've battled adversity all year and have been in those kind of situations. Our kids know they're never out of a game. But it looked pretty bleak there for a bit.

Bob Romeo

We've averaging 61 points per game, but the thing that makes me the proudest about this team is its defense. We've held teams to an average of 31 points per game. A lot of players get to play (as a result of big leads), and that means the kids on the bench are doing a good job defensively as well.

Tony Haynes

We've averaged 20-plus wins a year for the last five years, five straight NCAA tournaments. Kids graduate. Hey, that's a successful program.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved. We're trying to create some awareness in the area and to get people to play. People always want to know, where do I go for a class? Where do I go if my kids want to learn? You can find it in there.

Dale Martin

We've always wanted to go. We're hoping to get away from it all. Now that the kids are gone, it'll be a little easier.

Shawn McDowell

We've always thought this senior class had the physical skills, it was a matter of them jelling together as a unit. A year can make a big difference both mentally and physically and the kids have really matured.

George Campbell

We've always made it a point to be strong from the goal out. Defense is always a priority, but these kids have offensive talent that can't be denied.

Kirk Salvo

We've always had kids from all over come here. This program has been a magnet for good wrestlers from around the state, but our link with the Navy Juniors program has been pretty good for us the past few years.

Diane Sollee

When we were saying it doesn't matter in the '60s and '70s and '80s, we didn't have the experience of enough kids in a culture when families were breaking down. It was just our best guess.

Jill Malko

We've asked her to do things that she didn't anticipate. She has played all these roles because of all the injuries. But she's the type of player that can play anywhere on the field and that's pretty hard to find.

Jamie Dixon

We've always thought he was a very good player and always believed in him. He just happened to play on some very good teams behind some very good players. Last year, he developed and got better. He played in a lot of big games against a lot of good people.

Joe Hudak

We've always played well here. We're a good club, and I think we're trying to show we can play with other good clubs. We're certainly not intimidated.

Jamie Dixon

We've always played three guards in certain instances over the years. A number of programs do that. Oftentimes, your smaller players are your better players. Last year, our bigger guys were our better players.

Todd Parker

We've always played hard, but as of late we seem to be executing better on offense, being more patient and getting the ball where we need to get it. Our quickness allows us to create some mismatches.

Pat Ambrose

When we were patient on offense and got a good shot, we did well. When we played too fast and didn't get a good shot, we let Zion back into the game. Benny did a real nice job for us. He wanted to win.

Jeff Halpern

When we weren't in the box, I thought we played pretty well.

Dick Umile

When we were down 2-0 tonight, we were playing pretty well. The third goal was not very well played by us. The kid was out front all by himself. We dug ourselves a hole, that?s the disappointing part.

Odell Thurman

When we were coming into the (scouting) combine, they asked who was the best back you played against, and I said (Williams) the whole time. He's going to be great. You look at him, and you might not think he's all that strong. But he's a power runner. It's the style he plays.

Tom Ryan

We've battled and we've competed. It's just a question of playing seven solid innings. I still think we're pretty solid all the way around.

Jen Kasel

We've basically been trying to clean up our game in general. Making better passes, playing smarter, hitting the slide on defense, talking, communicating. We've been doing a lot of seven-on-seven to get prepared to play such a talented team.

Erin Delaney

We've basically been playing a similar offense, we run the same offense. The purpose of the junior varsity is to work together. It's not about wins, it's about getting better.

Tim Saunders

We've asked Matt to do some new things to help us get a couple more athletic bodies into the lineup,and he's more than held his own in left field. Most catchers don't run very well and couldn't make the switch to the outfield, but Matt dominates with his quickness when he's playing hockey, and I think that's helped him make the transition.

Joe Balogh

We've always said that you can't win the league in the first round of the season but you can lose it. I think that is the great part of playing in the NCC.

O. Winston

We've always said it's about us, and it's about us getting better, ... We've got a lot of confidence right now. We're playing well, the defense is playing unbelievable, and I want to get back out there and keep that going.

Scott Rolen

We've always had a tough time playing them.

Katie McMahon

We've always competed against D-I teams in our division. Now we're playing big name East Coast schools and we're getting more recognition. However, the team is not eligible for the playoffs for another two years.

John Hoch

When we were up seven at halftime, coach told us to keep playing our game. We knew we had to keep rolling and in the second half we just shot lights out.
