Avoid Quotes
It's all about playing in the heat of the battle. You can do well in a major but you can jostle through and avoid the real pressure. To be in there leading, going home Friday and Saturday with the lead, it's a different ball game. We'll find out about Luke. On paper he's got the lot, but I honestly feel there are very few who would jump straight in without doing your time out there. Most past champions have all had seven to 10 years of paying their dues. It's like any major profession, like qualifying as a doctor.

Athletic Quotes
For his first outing as the starter, we thought he handled the game very well, we thought he handled the ball and threw very well. He threw over 60 percent and had only two drops, which was a positive. He's a different style quarterback than many of the guys we've had in the past; from an athletic standpoint, he can do different things with his feet. Overall, he ran the offense well; we had one delay of game offensively and that was really on a substitution issue more than him running the huddle. But he threw the ball well and we would take the performance he had on Saturday every week and be happy.

City Quotes
It's always important to try to get the top kids in the state and it's especially important for us to get the top players in Sioux Falls. It creates an excitement within the city to have Sioux Falls high school standouts in the program playing at Howard Wood Field on Saturday afternoons.

Against Quotes
It's going to be a big challenge for us to play against South. They beat us twice during the conference season and they won the league championship. They've got a talented team and a lot of guys who can hurt you. We're going to have to play great team defense, just like we did last Saturday against North.

Car Quotes
It's fun to be in the Budweiser Shootout. I'm just real proud that we were able to get a pole. I was real close in 2002, 2003 and 2004 to getting one and we got disappointed on several occasions. To finally get us a pole was fun, and now we will take the NAPA car and try to win the Shootout on Saturday night.

Buddies Quotes
It's pretty neat being able to have my family come over for the Friday and Saturday games. I hear it will also be on TV, so it's cool that some of my buddies will be able to get together and watch it. It's sort of the hot ticket (in Vancouver) and all the hype makes it fun and exciting to play.
-
Bigger Quotes
The nice thing for the Bulls is that we are a side for the big occasions. The bigger the occasion, the more we rise. Saturday will be a test of character and guts and we need to show what we are worth. For that reason I'm taking charge of the forwards this week. We have a few things planned, and we could have a surprise or two for the Sharks.

Based Quotes
The numbers Visa has seen over the Friday and Saturday period are encouraging, but we will continue to watch over the next several weeks to see if the positive trends hold true, ... Based on the data Visa has seen to date, we remain cautiously optimistic that this will be a good holiday season for merchants.
-
Break Quotes
It's so critical for us to get our mind right before we practice Sunday. Our players are hurting. You can look in their eyes and see that they're hurting, and it should be like that if you really care. But by lunchtime Saturday it's got to be gone. We've got to have a great day of preparation (Sunday) and have the right attitude. We're going to break down everything that went wrong (Friday) and give it to 'em and then close the book.
-
Afternoon Quotes
Everybody wants to play well on Saturday afternoon in front of 80,000 and on national television. But when you're in the hot summer sun and when you've got a chance to eat four pizzas and you don't go, that was the thing that made an indication this guy's really going to dedicate himself.

Avoid Quotes
Sunday nights are good times to call strikes. There's freight that has come into the terminal dropped off Friday or Saturday waiting to be loaded onto the trucks. Once the road drivers come in and drive it out, they can be on the road for the week, and the company can move those drivers around the system and avoid closed terminals.
-
Balance Quotes
It's hard for me to say that it's part of the game that I've played because I've never been in the situation, ... But, you know, we have played six poor quarters of football. Now our season is kind of hanging in the balance and we've got a big obstacle on Saturday that we've got to overcome.
-
Came Quotes
I've gone through such a range of emotions in the last 45 minutes, it's definitely hard to even explain what I've gone through. Saturday will be the big day when it really hits for me, when I'm up on the podium getting the medals. It's any athlete's dream to make the Olympic team. It's only that much better to say that you came out with a medal.
-
Decision Quotes
It's very easy to understand. You can point to many things: the technical side, the mental side, all sorts of different things -- on Saturday there were 35,000 people and an exciting atmosphere. Finishing on goal is not the easiest thing in the world. You get a split second to make a decision and sometimes it's the right decision and sometimes it's the wrong decision. Of course, we would like to score goals and we will.

Agree Quotes
It was a difficult year for them because it was a sacrifice. The company paid 100% of their costs, gave them every third Friday off to go to school, but they had to agree to give up every third Saturday to attend classes as well. We felt like if we gave up Friday, they could give up Saturday.
-
Couple Quotes
They hung around. I was a little nervous. We hit a couple posts in the second period, and sometimes those games you end up losing. And we've had some tough times scoring on Saturday nights lately. But one of the key things was we didn't panic when it was 2-1. There wasn't much panic out there.

Fresh Quotes
After the Saint Martin's game (a 105-104 overtime win on Feb. 11), we did something we hadn't done since I've been here. We took Sunday and Monday off (instead of Sunday only), and then we went to Boise on Wednesday. I thought our legs were fresh in that game, and I thought we were a step quicker than SPU on Saturday night.
