Authentic Quotes
I love Memphis, I guess you could say, in the way that you love a brother even if he does sometimes puzzle and sadden and frustrate you. Say what you want about it, it's an authentic place. I was born and raised in Memphis, and no matter where I go, Memphis belongs to me, and I to it.
-
Asking Quotes
I was freaked out. I get nervous, believe me. I kept asking the guys if we got bumped. It was like in '99 at Memphis when we didn't make a good pass in round one and then it started raining and raining. Joe Amato would have passed us in the points if we didn't qualify but NHRA gave us all one more chance Sunday morning and we got in. I got no sleep that night.

Across Quotes
If that day could bring one thing, I would love that families would turn off their televisions for a little bit, walk across over to the island, get a little exercise, spend time with the majesty of the Mississippi River and also be exposed to wonderful music that's part of our Memphis heritage.

Difficult Quotes
I was hoping we could sustain what we had worked up in the first half, but foul trouble really kept us from going into the second half with the same feeling we had earlier in the (game). Memphis has an explosive team and I think they were able to run us and we hit the wall about six, seven or eight minutes into the second half. And that made it difficult for us to overcome that run.

Bit Quotes
That was a point where I dug a little bit back to some of the blues stuff. I worked with some fantastic people. Scotty Moore, Elvis' guitarist, played with me on a couple of records, and we also had the Memphis Horns. Those were good days, but everything's got to end. It was time to do other stuff.
-
Bad Quotes
Well it was a bad combination going 3-of-17 with eight turnovers. We were probably lucky to have eight points. I give Memphis a little bit of credit, they are a good defensive team. That probably had something to do with it, but I thought we played a little too much off the dribble. Certainly we missed some shots that we could've had.
-
Adjustment Quotes
The defendants are relying on a statute of limitations that applied to the Memphis board of adjustment that went out of existence 35 years ago. We believe that statute does not apply. The Tennessee legislature specifically enacted a 60 day statute of limitations that applies to boards and commissions and that statute of limitations should apply to this board.

Added Quotes
This was a hugely successful event with tremendous community participation. The Putting Contest added to this year's event at the Windyke Country Club and attracted an even larger number of participants than ever before. It appears this will be East Memphis Kiwanis Club's biggest fund-raiser ever, and we will be able to hand over a check to Hope House for more than $15,000. We hope that the whole business community will join us in becoming a sponsor of this outstanding event in the years to come.

Achieved Quotes
This was a win achieved by the entire organization, not just a few central players. You look at the role players, all the guys from Memphis (the Cardinals' Class AAA affiliate) and what they did. Everyone came up and contributed in some manner. It's a great reflection on the entire organization and gives you a greater degree of satisfaction about overcoming the obstacles that we encountered.

Carolina Quotes
The road games at Florida and Virginia Tech, the rivalry games with Tulane, UAB, Memphis and East Carolina and challenging games with conference newcomers, Marshall, UCF and Tulsa to our schedule is not only great for our fans and supporters, but also for the community of Hattiesburg.

Break Quotes
They're going to make runs. They see Memphis on their schedule, they're going to make some shots they usually don't make. But I was telling the guys that sooner or later, they were going to break down. Just keep going and going at them until they're like 'Whoa, we can't take it anymore.
-
Anybody Quotes
Oklahoma had some big bodies, athletic guys. So does Florida, the same with Memphis and Wisconsin this year. They had a lot of big bodies. It's just another assignment for me. You can't take anybody lightly. ... (But) just because they are taller doesn't mean they are going to get every rebound.
