We're going to have to play really tough the next two games. There's a lot of games left. We're certainly not out of it.

We're going to do even more cross-promotion of each others' events. This is actually getting pretty exciting.

We're going to continue to aggressively try to defeat what we consider bad legislation. Clearly price controls would kill research and development and ultimately be damaging to patients.

Ultimately, public-safety concerns will determine when businesses can reopen and residents are allowed to return, even in areas that appear to be undamaged.

We're seeing a very substantial shift going on in the market.

She's been doing a really good job of being a vocal leader, on and off the court.

She and I have been curling together for more than 15 years. It's not new. We're the best of friends and we know each other so well on the ice and off. It's so special for our family to see the sisters on the ice together.

She is a very capable young woman and she has very good manners,

Nelson does not have the strong persona that Bob Graham had.

One thing we talked about is being an inexperienced team, when you get adversity, everybody's got to come together and pick it up. I think when they saw Laura go down, who's one of our tougher kids, the kids had a little bit of an emotional letdown.

No other girl finished under 20 (minutes). Another very strong performance for her.

Obviously, the key with somebody like Trot is they come in and they're healthy and they do their thing -- and he looks really good,

Nothing is claimed to have happened at a recruiting party. The 2001 allegation the D.A. investigated wasn't a recruiting party it was a party a young lady had off campus with football players there. I've never been to a recruiting party or a party specifically for recruits.

On paper, we don't have a chance. Everybody we play is usually a little bigger and a little faster than we are. We just have to try to do what we can do and play to the best of our ability. That's all we can do. We're going to show up.

On paper they should win. They are bigger, faster and stronger, ... They should win, but it doesn't always work out that way. We'll see.

One of the shortcomings of coaches, once they get ahead, is in becoming too conservative, ... The talent is such in the NFL that if you get cautious and give teams an extra chance to beat you, they usually will.

One of the first things he did was a split in midair in my office. Then he dropped down and did 400 different kinds of pushups - one-armed, clapping in front, clapping behind his back, in the air, flipping over. I was just dumbfounded not only by this guy's charisma but his ability to do this in front of grown adults and look really cool.

I was scared. I was 16 at the time.

I would have liked to play with him for my entire career. I really would have. This is the first time I've had the luxury of having a quarterback that people basically said was a can't-miss guy when he came out.

I have a dream, ... that one day I won't be standing here talking about all the children who have died in the streets.

I felt good about the way our pitchers played except for probably three of the 12. But in three games we gave up three runs or less. If we can continue to do that, we'll win a bunch of games.

We toured an area of south Louisiana not seen on CNN that is literally cut off from the rest of the world.

We're only going to take the items we need, ... We'll box things up and send them to another shelter. For us, as donations go, it's been overflowing. It's a blessing.

We've done the same (offensive) things the last eight years, but we didn't run our base plays very well, ... That's unusual and a little disheartening. Personally, for me as a coach, Columbus Lakeview deserves to win because they've had a number of times in the last few years where they really had us on the ropes and we'd come out on the right end.

I think it's going to take a city staff determination on that sign.

It costs more to do business in certain parts of the state.

I think (the leaders) are there. It's whether or not they know how to do that yet is what we've got to find. I'm not sure they know who they are yet, so we'll see.

I thought he did a great job. His at-bats looked really good. He was right on everything and he didn't seem to have any problems afterwards, so that's really good news.

It is generally known, that he who expects much will be often disappointed; yet disappointment seldom cures us of expectation, or has any effect other than that of producing a moral sentence or peevish exclamation

Lapel's come a long way in the last few years. They're just good. They're solid. They're a good, good football team.

Our guys are smart guys. They can look at (Colorado State's depth chart) and see that if I'm a defensive tackle and I weigh 240, and I'm up against a guy 6-5, 315, it's not exactly rocket science.

Our people are trained to do everything they can to preserve the safety of the staff and the safety of the children.
