That's one of the question marks this year. If the defense can recover from all the losses we've had. But I'm pretty confident and very excited. It's nice to be the underdog for once.

That's now a huge trip for us. It means we have the chance to go to the tournament off the back of three wins if we play well rather than the 11 losses we had in Bangladesh. If we can do that then hopefully the confidence, morale and form will flow.

That's about three of the toughest losses I've been through, ... This is going to be a real test for us. We'll see what we're made of here.

It's like 'Groundhog Day' half the time. We can take away that we showed a great deal of pride in the third and played hard and battled, but we did the same things that have been getting us in trouble all year to get us down four goals. We haven't been very good at learning from our mistakes, from our losses and even from our wins, and that's something we have work on.

It's nice to get a win, but we weren't down on ourselves. Even when we were losing we came into practice confident and using those losses to get better. It's nice to get a win, but we don't feel rejuvenated or anything.

It's something I felt like I needed to do. I apologized for the losses and the way I had been playing. This is my senior year, and I don't want to go out on a bad note. I just want us to play for each other when we're on the court.

Every one of our losses have been to teams above us in the standings and we've beaten everyone else. So maybe 9-5 is where we belong.

The biggest thing is we're definitely not looking at them as an 0-2 team. They've had some tough breaks in both their losses and they definitely could have won both their games.

I've got to just relax until Thursday and get everything back in shape, and take the positives out of this week. They say you learn more from your losses than from your wins. And I've got a lot from this week to learn.

None of our members have suffered any losses whatsoever. That's the way we handle it.

It was a combination of playing a team coming off one of its most disappointing losses -- I talked to coach (Riley) before the game and I knew they were about to come out with a great effort -- and we haven't shot that poorly all year.

It was one of the most disappointing losses we've had in an awful long time, mainly because we got off to such a poor start. We played like a team that had a 25-point lead at the Carrier Dome and then beat a team by 23 at our place.

It was one of the most disappointing losses we've had in a long time, mainly because of (the start).

It was probably one of the hardest losses that we ever took in Tiger Stadium. Since I've been here, the only time I lost here was against Florida. And then, now I get this game. It was real hard for a lot of us. Coaches were telling us to keep our head up, but I mean it's hard to keep your head up when you blow a 21-0 lead.

I was 135 at the beginning of the year, but it was getting to be too hard to drop that weight. Since I've been at 140 I haven't lost yet. All three of my losses were at 135.

It will be swamped by the job losses that come out of Ford, GM or Delphi. Theoretically, everybody would say it's got to have a negative effect, but in the end it's going to be such a small effect most people wouldn't notice.

They are young men and they have to learn how to respond to tough losses like that.

They would've been out of the West with four losses and we separate ourselves even more. To their credit, they won a game they needed to win.

They've had some very heartbreaking losses that they've had chances to win. They're coming off a big win against Kentucky. To me, they're playing as well as anyone in our league.

There was an increase in thefts immediately, especially with the dramatic increase of prices. After Katrina, there were so many retailers that couldn't absorb losses anymore ... so they went to prepay. They couldn't afford that one drive-off a day that would hurt their gas profits. And with Rita ... we will see more stations go pre-pay, if nothing else, as a temporary solution.

Once a Marine, always a Marine. The challenge and the camaraderie with players and coaches, no one experiences anything like that but in team sports, especially football.

The New England Patriots won the Super Bowl last year. They lost two games, so we got our first two losses out of the way early.

So far, I am encouraged to see how well the regional economy has weathered the job and income losses centered in the auto manufacturing sector.

So far as winning the league championship, it was a must-win for us. They hadn't been beat and we had two leagues losses by two points each, so it was a must-win.

The insurance market understandably appears a little unsettled by the massive hurricane losses of 2005. However, risk managers may experience further softening in the casualty market. Barring more major catastrophes, premiums should fall further this year.

The insurance market shrugged off the record hurricane losses of 2004, but the combined impact of Katrina, Rita and Wilma was clearly more than the market was ready to absorb in 2005. So far it seems only property insurance has been affected, but it remains to be seen if the rise in property rates will be the catalyst for an overall upturn in prices and a harder market.

The insurance industry's profitability and healthy surplus in the wake of record catastrophe losses through nine months may turn out to be good news for insurance buyers who have been bracing for possible rate increases. With the price of insurance being determined by the law of supply and demand, and supply being determined by profitability and capacity, countrywide results through nine months may mean that rate increases could be largely limited to those lines and states directly affected by this year's hurricanes.

I'm not coaching my kids to take the initiative when the step onto the mat and I take the blame for that. I haven't instilled the desire in my kids to take the lead - and it was those close losses that ended up making the difference tonight.

I know we an't keep taking these losses like this. We've got to do something right now and get back on track.

I'm more interested in whether the losses we'll see on Friday are a permanent feature on the landscape or just the result of people pushed out of work due to Katrina and Rita. I think the market will look at it and shrug it off and look at what's going to happen in October.

I'm pleased that USDA can offer assistance to farmers and ranchers who have sustained losses from Hurricane Katrina, ...

If we've got a team down, we've got to keep them down. We can't play with them, we can't fool with them. All our losses probably this year, we had a team down 15 or 16 points. So when we've got them down, we've got to keep a foot on the pedal.

If you look at the losses for the 'little people,' then it is clear that (former chancellor) Helmut Schmidt's words 'wild animal capitalism' can be applied to this,

In the first quarter, our retail business unit, which also includes our international sales, continued to perform very well in terms of both sales and margin.

In our view, management was setting the stage for the possibility of losses in the current downturn.

In Ontario, job losses in manufacturing have accelerated in recent months alongside announced layoffs in the key auto sector.

There's nobody I'm afraid to play, and I just want to start playing better, consistently, ourselves.

I know Morristown has had several losses here lately, so they're going to be eager for a win,

In these last few days, my losses alone would be between four to five million naira, and 400 people who work for me are out of their jobs.

I just looked on the Internet for certain trends and if anything pops out in the games that Michigan State lost. I think when they attempted less than 16 free throws, they lost every game, and they are a great free throw shooting team. I think there was also was a great discrepancy between wins and losses and how their inside player Paul Davis played. When he played well and scored over 18, 19 points, they usually won.

I have yet to take capital losses on any company. Then again, it's still early.

I have to look at the one-run losses as somewhat of a positive. It shows that we're a team that has some character, we just don't have quite enough.
