It is altogether fitting that we undertake this salute to Earl and Louise Scruggs. For decades, following in the tradition of Ralph Peer and Jimmie Rodgers, or Fred Rose and Hank Williams, they have formed one of country music's most productive musical and business partnerships.

Jeff Tambroni

Our staff and our team has waited for the opportunity to begin our 2006 journey since the moment we walked off the field in Princeton, N.J., following our loss to Duke in the NCAA tournament.

They're going to have to pass the ball to catch up to you.

Joe Masleh

Regan Mooney stepped up big time for us in the first half with 12 points while Ryan and Rayne were struggling. Ball handling, rebounds. That was a very big help.

Jack Garrison

(Reese) came out here and beat all the good kids. What a tournament both of them had.

Alexander Savenkov

Regrettably, beating has become a typical method of dealing with subordinates in the military.

Rick Carlisle

Our point guard position was really tremendous, especially in the second half. That's the kind of production we need at all our positions.

I love bunt plays. I love the idea of the bunt. I love the idea of the sacrifice. Even the word is good. Giving yourself up for the good of the whole.

Brooks Shumake

I was concerned about that inning because it was like all of a sudden we can't get the bunt down, then we execute the hit-and-run and we get in the same situation and then all of a sudden we can't get any runs out of it. It was frustrating. We missed a squeeze play, so we've got to get better on those types of plays.

I was going up there thinking about laying down a bunt the first pitch,

H. Hart

Ken Stringfellow

Our relationship, musically and friendship-wise, came to a halt for a couple of years, ... Slowly those doors opened again, and we had an opportunity to do some shows in Spain and took the chance to experiment over the course of a year or so. I spent some time repairing my friendship with Jon, and then we were probably open to anything at that point.

Eve

Originally, after 'Tambourine' came out, another record was supposed to come out, but I had issues with my record label at the time, which was Interscope. We couldn't agree on a record, so that took some time. I had to leave them and find a new label.

Joe Kuhn

Parker kept us in the game prior to halftime. He came out and hit a couple of big 3s for us during the first half. We might have been out of it early were it not for Dustin.

Barry Trotz

Parker came over the glass, and your first reaction is one of disbelief. Witt turns around, and his first reaction is to swing back. I don't like that trade-off. ... Parker is a marginal player for San Jose, and Witt is really starting to do some good things for us.

Doug Scheidt

Park did a great job. They came out really ready to play and I thought coach (Josh Wolf) did a really good job of having them just enough fired up, but just enough under control and calm. I thought they exhibited that in the game, and we didn't.

Hugh Jackman

I think I was 5 and singing 'Camelot' on stage. It was always a good way to meet girls. I did musicals, plays. My school encouraged it. We'd do our own productions. It wasn't until I was about 23 that I thought, 'I could give this a shot. I might as well do it.'
