In consultation with the University Committee, we decided that people should not serve as chair of the Athletic Board for inordinately long periods of time. Many departments on campus change chairs every two years or three years. It seemed like a good thing to do.

One of the reasons I wanted to play in this tournament was to go up against a well-coached and well-disciplined team that didn't just chuck it up all the time. We did not do a good job running our sets tonight and Annapolis made us pay at times.

This is a terrific time for the department. So many things are going well. They're in great shape financially. A lot of teams are doing really well. A lot of new facilities. It should the beginning of another golden age in Wisconsin athletics. That hasn't always been the case.

Notwithstanding these factors, we believe retail sales growth in the 7% range is quite reasonable given the increased attractiveness and availability of retail projects in Fort Bend and our relative prowess in the region as a retail destination.

I've been on the faculty for 30 years and in administration for 20 of those, and I don't remember a time when it was worse than it is now.

This was a quality win for us. We are not patient or disciplined nearly as much as we should be, and I think we saw the right way to do some of those things tonight.

I'm pretty proud of our kids. They're the state champions, and they are by far the best (1A) team in the state. Our kids have come along way.

It is a message that special interests can close off legitimate avenues of scientific inquiry.

For them to tie our hands behind our backs and prevent us from participating in this scientific frontier would be unconscionable. We have to oppose them with everything we've got.
