I think we're surprising people. I think the kids are believing in themselves more. We had some hard talk at halftime, but they responded.

Jerry Capodanno

We learned some real tough lessons. We lost four of those games in the last possession, including one to Baraboo when we had an 18-point lead going into the fourth quarter. The kids have really responded to that and it's coming to fruition right now.

Dennis Bradley

After last week, we challenged the kids to play four quarters of football. I like the way the team responded.

Tim Bennett

We rallied and responded and gave ourselves a chance to win. I believe we would've won that football game but for a couple of inches on that last pass. Brady did a great job of bringing us back and providing a spark.

Mike Bellotti

I don't know if we came out with the right intensity early to hit the ball. If we win that, it puts us in a tremendous driver's seat. But now we've got to get it done next time. It obviously was a very big game for them, and they responded quite well.

Cory Bridges

Given that the tsunami killed 150,000 people [in Southeast Asia], I frankly think we responded pretty well to a storm that might have done the same, given the density of the population in the area where it hit. Essentially, Katrina was a nuclear bomb without a mushroom cloud or radiation.

James Carafano

They were a hot-shooting team over there, and we responded well. We scrambled back into the game. The girls worked hard.

Don Hoffman

He's such a competitor. He was our closer last year. We needed him to start and he's responded. He wants the ball with the game on the line.

Tee Mitchell

I don't have to tell this team what a big win this was. We knew this was a must win for us. We got blown out 13-1 against Atlantic last night, and this team responded. They came out with a defiant attitude.

Tommy Hickox

Mike followed a legendary predecessor and responded to it with character, graciousness and the determination to raise our program to the highest level.

Adam Herbert

Mike Strong

It's tough to stand up to big business. The commission really responded to the concerns of the residents.

Robert Russell

It was an emotionally turbulent time for coach's family, and for us. But we saw what Tony has gone through, and I think all of us have responded [positively for Dungy] with how we've played and practiced football.

James Mungro

We've been in a rut lately, and we decided to break the mold. We went into a full-court man-to-man defense all game to try something different. We changed up our substitution pattern and tried to run instead of rely on size. Our guys responded well.

Sheldon Kuhns

Every time our execution failed, we responded with our defense.

Tayshaun Prince

I'm really happy with the way we responded and the way we practiced all week. We created some turnovers early ... I think we did a great job of establishing the tempo.

Todd Johnson

We just came out a little flat. We've done that a few times this year. We can't do it anymore. We have some really tough games coming up and we just have to go out and get it done. We challenged the kids at the half to suck it up and go and they responded.

Chad Spence

We had a great preseason. The guys responded with what coach (George Karl) wanted early on in pace of the game, togetherness and defensive intensity. We've improved in those areas with a couple of setbacks, but we've improved each game.

Scott Brooks

I was pleased with that. The girls really knew they beat themselves in the Hebron game with errors back to back. They responded.

Karen Kalhoefer

We listened to the residents and responded. We care about the community we have a business in.

Vicki Boynton

I like the way we responded after it was 1-1. And the strength of our team is still our defense. Once we get the lead, we're tough to beat.

Bruce Plante

Chula Vista moved the ball better on us than our opponent last week and we responded well.

Bob Mcallister

I'm really pleased with their overall effort. Our goal this year was to play a more challenging schedule to get some exposure and hopefully get a little more experience under our belts. They've really responded.

George Tullier

I thought we might struggle because of a lack of match fitness but we responded brilliantly.

Rob Ritchie

Programs have responded to guidelines by making changes to residents' schedules without appropriate staffing, so some of the work has been put onto medical students.

Brian Palmer

What a response. The Ironwood community has responded with overwhelming generosity. Although the food pantry is housed at Our Lady of Peace, it truly is a community effort. Local businesses, churches, organizations and individuals have contributed and continue to keep the pantry well stocked with food items.

Pat Niksich

She was a pretty happy young lady. She responded to it a little bit like an early Christmas gift. It's always nice to be able to give somebody nice news.

Carolyn Bivens

Our offense responded well on the first two drives.

Kent Briggs

Against Davis, our level of play went up a notch. The guys got a lot of the jitters out in the morning and responded really, really well in such a short time since we played back-to back matches. I was happy for the freshmen to get their dual matches out of the way.

George Husack

They immediately approached the bedside. They responded quickly and prevented further harm to the patient.

Dan Mcfadden

For me, this show feels like the best in comedy and drama. What I responded to is it felt real, for lack of a better word. It felt like if you peeked over a fence in the backyard and watched your neighbors, this is what you would see.

Joann Alfano

Justin has taken to his role as our closer. Tonight we brought him in earlier than we normally would have, and he stepped up and responded in a positive manner.

Rusty Robinett

It was just the actors, performing some in costumes, some in jeans, on a stage for 600 students. And the students responded and were very captivated, and enjoyed it and asked intelligent questions. Then, as the performance ended, the van arrived.

Brian Crowe

The way we came back from that loss and responded in that match showed us we could be a top team.

Scott Green

America has been in a state of fearfulness since Sept. 11 (2001) -- that fear has been able to squelch the debate -- if you're not with us, you're against us, says the administration. Americans should have responded more forcefully.

Philippe Sands

She talked more around him, responded more to him.

Jenn Giel

They responded. We didn't score, but we didn't let them score. They had a little more fire.

Bob Chavez

I think we responded well. The intensity level was up.

Damon Shaffer

That letter was not responded to, ... We are hopeful for an answer.

Kweisi Mfume

We had a great week of practice. We were able to rebound pretty well, and transition against them. The entire team responded tonight.

Andy Cerroni

Intel responded not just by defending itself in court, but by cutting off technical information that Digital needed to design computers that use the Intel chips, ... (Intel) also demanded return of microprocessor prototypes and it refused to supply additional prototypes.

William Baer

Local, county and state officials responded very positively to REI locating in Bedford, which has a proven infrastructure for distribution facilities and has great proximity to our east coast retail locations.

Dave Presley

I know they get hundreds of applications, maybe thousands. But they responded right away, and it was off to Hollywood.

Anne Lynch

We were sleepwalking for a while, but we got after the team at halftime and challenged them. They responded. We played some great defense.

Rocky Nelson

I'm proud of my guys. In every great game, like this one, you have to overcome adversity. These guys responded after halftime and did it with fundamentals. This was a big win for us.

Paul Pellicani

It was a really good day for us. We played a top squad and really dominated. It was the perfect warm-up match -- they put a good side on the field, and we responded.

Don Ferrell

All of these games are going to be tough in this conference. I was worried about having that layoff in between games, but we responded quite well.

Laura Blackwell

The government ... has responded with pilot projects for the GTA, which may make some marginal improvements, but certainly doesn't respond to the criticisms that the provincial auditor has raised.

Shelley Martel

When Orem came back the kids responded, and that tells me a lot about how they came to play tonight.

Dan Lunt

How can you predict anything? I wouldn't have predicted this. It certainly tests your mettle, ... I'm very pleased with the manner in which everybody has responded.

Dennis Archer

This is about history, it is about how our justice system responded to the worst terrorist attack on our soil.

Gerald Zerkin

The biggest thing is we're finishing our chances. It was something we were worried about at the beginning of the season, but obviously in big games they've responded.

Paula Wilkins

I think that we wrestled pretty well overall. As far as the final round goes, we wrestled extremely well. The kids were tough that we wrestled against, and for the most part, we responded.

Bob Berceau

Christian didn't have his best overall game, but he got the job done against the defending conference champion. He had a tough time getting the ball over the plate at times, but our offense responded to back him.

Allen Plyler

It was close the whole way, but like I told the girls at halftime, there was no pressure on us ---- just come out, play hard and let things happen. We had a few things defensively we wanted to do to slow them down, and the kids responded well.

Scott Spencer

If the federal government would have responded as quickly as Wal-Mart, we could have saved more lives.

Harry Lee

They had a great player make a two great plays. Then our offense responded right then.

Todd Dodge

She bounced back. In the past she would've just wilted. I'm really happy with the way she responded. That's maturity.

Charlie Parrish

I was a little concerned, but she responded beautifully.

Sandy Hoddinott

He was telling me he was really tired, but when I drew up our final play for him, he responded. He also thanked me for trusting him in the end.

Ryan Gregorio

Police responded to that location -- found, or sighted, the vehicle that was used in the robbery.

Christopher Smith

It says a lot about the character of this team. We're not often down, and we had an opportunity to be down tonight. And we think we responded well.

Brad Folta

(Sultana) responded to the (first) goal by Smith positively and we responded negatively. It put the wind in their sails.

Jimmie Gleason

This was a difficult year for many families. So many of us were affected by Hurricane Katrina, and people responded generously just as the Neediest campaign began.

Jack Rosenthal

With those two guys on the bench, I challenged the rest of the guys to step up and make things happen. They responded nicely.

Steve Bado

The best scenario is the truth about what happens comes out, ... There is a problem in the way officers responded to this incident and their use of deadly force. It's not only what the standard is, its how you train your officers to apply that standard and minimize the use of deadly force.

Bruce Jones

That doesn't mean emergency services won't be available, but demands on them may be so great that not all calls will be responded to immediately. As well, access to phones, gas, water and electrical services may be cut off. Learning how to be prepared is vital.

Dave Wolin

We were in a hole pretty quick. The kids responded well and hit some balls hard.

Christopher Howell

We played hard in our last district game. When you go to Catholic and get to double overtime that is good, but not getting a win never feels good. I am proud of the way they responded and how far they have come since day one this year.

Shane Reid

She had a rocky first game. But Tiffany has really responded.

Joanne Graf

It was a great bounce back after last night. The kids responded well and stepped up to the challenge.

Fred Febach

I need more facts from them on how quickly they responded and all the things they did. Did they do all the things they could have done to protect public health and to protect the amount that ended up in the ocean?

Alexis Strauss

We are horrified that there have been so many stabbings on what is an evening of celebration for most people. The majority of calls that we have responded to this evening have been alcohol related ... we have seen a high number of violent incidents reported.

Russell Smith

It's a good feeling to be champions, and I'm glad our players have the opportunity to experience it. The team responded very well to the changes this year, and they have earned this opportunity.

Rob Spivery

Steve breaking the record gives the team some momentum heading into the final meet of the season. We have really pushed these guys hard and they have come back and responded.

Todd Wuerger

We certainly could not have stopped it, but we certainly could have responded more quickly.

Richard Moore

I am proud of the way the players responded and how they refused to have the game taken from them. It was our first overtime game of the year and I was happy with the way that we reacted.

Jerry Holtgren

ASIO responded indicating it had no information.

Graeme Johnstone

You can bet if 3,000 counties responded to the Gulf Coast, they would do a better job than FEMA did.

I'm really proud of the way the kids responded from (Thursday). It was all about attitude. The team really played together as one. It was a great day.

Dave Orzel

I was extremely happy with how our kids responded. We came right back and scored five of our own.

Jason Shirey

It's been a resilient economy, it's responded well and job creation has proceeded apace.

Ben S. Bernanke

We didn't make any adjustments in the second half. All we said was, 'We're not playing Bassett basketball. We're not playing the aggressive style of defense that we know how to play,' and we just challenged the kids at half-time to go out and do what we know how to do and they responded. I was proud of that effort in the second half.

Tom Hering

I was real pleased with the effort especially on defense. I thought that the defense responded well after giving up the touchdown.

Mike Allen

The equity market responded positively to the jobs report, which in turn helped the dollar. It was a 'buy U.S.A.' payroll number.

Michael Hartnett

At this point, we haven't responded to any statement of claim.

Alexis Redmond

The kids have responded and all we can do is what we can do.

Ted Fiore

We determined that policies were not followed, recommendations were not responded to and good judgement was not exercised.

Russ Danielson

It's a hell of a two-game sweep. We got two tremendous defensive efforts from our guys. I could not be more impressed at how our guys responded.

Mike Dunleavy

That was a very good game, ... We were a little concerned coming in because we were a little banged up. But the kids responded to the challenge. We had a lot of good senior leadership. One thing we stressed was when you face adversity, you need people to step up.

Dave Reynolds

We were excited to find that the cells responded to the damage by making appropriate new cells that could assist in repair. This study supports the possibility that formation of new myelin and new neurons may contribute to recovery.

Brian Cummings

We're working hard in getting fashion more updated and more current. The customer has definitely responded positively.

David Jaffe

We rallied, responded and gave ourselves a chance to win. I believe we would have won that football game if not for a couple inches on that last pass.

Mike Bellotti

The community spoke out loudly against discrimination and the MTA responded appropriately. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

Michael Silverman

EPA responded to its Congressional mandate and the rule provides assurance that these studies, while limited in number, can be conducted safely at the highest ethical standards established by Congress and by international convention.

Jay Vroom

She actually looked us in the eye and responded. That was our Christmas present.

Cathy Moeller

I was real happy with the way we responded after falling behind early. We've really done that all year long. We haven't gotten down on ourselves when we've fallen behind. I think we answered their goal with one of our own about a minute and a half later. Once we got that first goal, it kind of ignited a fire for us the rest of the night.

Ryan Kolb

We've got the capability to contend for a Big East Championship. The kids have responded well to the challenges so far. So I have no reason to believe that we're not going to be in contention.

Greg Roy

They responded inappropriately and very late to the acute problems he was having in the hospital.

Rick Fried

When we went to fundraise for this trip that we knew would mean a ton to him, it was shocking how many people responded. He's a really great guy. No matter what, he's always got a smile on his face and that's a big thing for the kids.

Jason Verhelst

The kids came out really, really motivated and responded well. They played great pressure defense, and it led to a lot of easy baskets.

Tom Ferrier

I think Andre responded from some tough things that happened from him and he did some good things.

Rich Brooks

The kids really responded. We were really dominant in the first half.

Jim Stagnitta

It wasn't just performance. It was a few things. I didn't like the way he responded when I took him out, and he did a few things that rubbed some guys the wrong way. I just don't think he'd have the respect of those guys if I put him back in there.

David Daniels

They responded. They played very unselfishly.

Gary Anders

The guys that we have been putting in have been playing hard. We have had to improvise a lot with lineups with our guys out. But these guys responded pretty well (against Jerome).

Jamey Collins

We have reached our goal sooner than expected. The Philippine government is deeply satisfied. We are very happy that the MILF has responded with seriousness and commitment.

Silvestre Afable

The girls were able to get their nerves out and responded well.

Vicky Maes

As far as what the guys did well, they all responded well to the active shooter training we've done. The training that they've had over the last couple of years was called into play at a moment's notice because they had no idea what they were getting themselves into.

Mike Ross

Hats off to Devon Wills . We weren't even sure she was going to play, and then she responded with one of her best games of the year.

Amy Patton

I usually operate on an intuitive level. I just saw something in this kid's eyes. It's an intangible thing. But there was a spark there, something I just responded to.

Brion O'connor

These young men have just really responded well to just about every test they've had. They are playing with a tremendous amount of confidence.

Dale Redman

She always worked hard in practice, she played hurt and sick, she responded positively to pressure during the games and as the point guard, her job was to make everyone around her better and she did that.

Russ Tietjen

If there is any angle to that, it would be not only that (sales were good) but also that we picked up some new fans by people that responded to the DVDs. It's happened in TV before, so I'm hoping for the best.

Bill Lawrence

We had five caseworkers that responded.

Debbie Turley

It's not just the way the Bush administration responded to Katrina, but events afterwards. There's too much history.... The center of gravity of the Republican Party is white Southerners, the group African-Americans trust the least.

David Bositis

That was the first time all year I've had to get in my kids' faces about effort. To their credit, they responded. But we needed three quarters of great basketball after that, and we didn't get it.

Pat Cleland

It was a matter of our kids digging deep, and they responded well.

Dan Picha

Over the years, our students have always been at the forefront of new media applications as they come into popular use, be it DVDs or online services or mobile phones, and have responded enthusiastically when we've adapted these applications to be relevant to their needs as students.

Ben Baron

Each year, I think we've gotten better, we've gotten stronger recruits. With Coach Dixon coming in this year I think she just brought a new energy to our program, new ideas. Just a refreshing way of coaching. I think that we all responded very well to that.

Megan Vrabel

It felt good to be back out there and the guys responded when we had to. We talked between [the second and third] period about how important it was to score on that power play -- and that's what we did.

Rhett Warrener

They can not dictate price, ... I went to a meeting three weeks ago with a (DaimlerChrysler) rep and a dealer asked 'How much should we price this at?' He responded, 'I don't want to hear any discussion of pricing.' That would be like price fixing, and it's blatantly illegal.

Buck Buchanan

Coach Welk said, 'nothing's changed if you 'D' these guys up and execute the game plan, we're going to be there in the end. Coach Welk said 'it's only over if you believe it's over,' and I think we responded to that.

Stratton Mccausland

The environment we've been in has been challenging. There was an impact on consumers with higher gas prices and the overall challenges of a turbulent marketplace. The team at 7-Eleven rose to the occasion and responded to the changing needs of the customers.

Jim Keyes

We?ll find out about Pat later this week and Mike?s hamstring has not responded to rehab the way we would have hoped.

Dave Wood

I thought the way we responded to losing the lead was really crucial. I liked the way our guys carried themselves.

Russ Springmann

We talked all week long about ball movement and rebounding. That's what we talked about all week, and they responded.

Jeremy Durham

On the other hand, the market responded positively to the cut on Thursday.

Frank Gretz

Customers have responded very favorably to Ford's pricing and marketing initiatives during the past year.

Jim O'connor

No one seemed to want to take the shot. So we put in Alison and she responded.

Amy Manco

I think the city responded extremely well and our excellent crews performed well under the circumstances. From here, the clean up will be slow but it will be consistent.

Nancy Chambers

It was a lot of fun. I was proud of the way we responded. Every game, we've had one bad inning and we didn't respond.

Mike Hinton

They made up for a very frustrating first half rather quickly. They responded to what we asked them to do.

Kevin Albury

It was a physical game tonight. The refs let them play, and the girls responded.

Aaron Palmer

The biggest thing is that we're trying to get ready for the tournament. We wanted to find out if our guards would be able to handle pressure, and they responded pretty well tonight.

Luke Cummings

There's no game tonight if Flats is not sharp. You have to be honest with the performance he put together here. Wade Flaherty was the difference. I've challenged him a little bit lately and he responded like a real pro.

Alain Vigneault

Peoria Christian was a good opponent for us. I was pleased with the way we responded after (Peoria Christian) pulled to within 2-1. Our defensive unit has really come together and we are now able to get a lot of people scoring for us.

Tony Bauman

It was something else to see how the great fans of motocross responded in to our national emergency in this time of need. With the attendance down due to the gas prices and our amateur races being cut back, we were amazed with the amount of money we were able to raise.

Tim Cotter

Have always responded in a professional manner from all inquires from the council and all members of the public.

William Griffith

He has responded well against teams that have other big players. He stepped up. He hit the boards tough for us. I don't know the stats offhand, but I know he had a great game.

Jason Lawson

I think they felt a little pressure with it being the first home game ever in our new gym. We had a great crowd, which really helped. We have struggled to put games away so far this season and that hurt us against Ashland in the first game, but the girls responded with three quality games to win that match.

Mike Brandon

That was the key to the first game. The second game, we put the ball in play a lot better. Our kids responded well after the first game loss.

Chris Hawkins

I've got to give Eastern Michigan credit. Every time we went on a run, they responded.

Lynn Bria

In both games, we had to come from behind in order to win. The team continued to play together and responded to a couple systematic changes that needed to be made as a result of what they (St. Olaf) were doing in the ice.

Terry Mannor

This is the first game that we played a solid game as a team. All three lines played well, all three lines had opportunities...This is, as far as I'm concerned, the first game of (2006), and they really responded very well, but we've got a lot of work to do.

Tom Smelstor

I was pretty pleased with the way we responded to being down.

Frank Allocco

He's loud and intense out there -- about what we expected. I think the guys responded well.

Will Herring

We are very lucky we do not have dead officers this morning. It's a tribute to the way they responded and it's a tribute to their tactics.

Hugh Orde

The girls responded well and forced turnovers in the second half.

Gene Rasmussen

I think the key today was our pressure on their quarterback, we had a lot of young guys step up. We had some young guys come in today and play well. That's something we needed, and they responded.

Marcus Johnson

She was really understanding and so nice. I really appreciated the way she responded to that.

Duncan Berry

They did it and responded to each other doing it. They learn from each other and get challenged. They have a lot to say, and we need to listen to them.

John Mcewen

The bottom line was that we responded. SPASH made some good adjustments in the second half and were knocking us off the ball, and we got tough-minded about it at the end and were able to take back control.

Dan Witter

We were very fortunate that all the movies responded very, very well. Audiences like them and went to see them more than once.

Dick Cook

Dollar/yen has responded to horrific weakness in data which has continued over the last business day in Japan. Machinery orders were a bit of a horror story.

Russell Jones

[In] 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America ... The most that can honestly be said of those involved in Sept. 11 is that they finally responded in kind to some of what this country has dispensed to their people of a matter of course.

Bernard Goldberg

A year ago, the industry came out aggressive with pricing to the farmers. I think the farmers responded by planting more acres.

Steve Kent

A lot of teams were using this as a tune-up for state and district, but we were putting pressure on the kids to perform, perform, perform. Everybody kept a good attitude and I was happy with how they responded.

Mat Sprague

It's quite rewarding to think the money is going to investors. The disappointing aspect to me is that only about 50 percent of people to whom we sent claim forms responded.

Francis Mcgovern

CRS has not responded to each of the chairman's letters. It seems that they are placing higher values on their press clippings than concerns of members of Congress.

Jamal Ware

All of our championships are special, but this one is great. Since we lost to Moss Point last month, our backs were against the wall. They could have given up, but the kids responded.

Michael Lindsey

They're good heady players. You can put them in a lot of different places. They responded well to varsity ball over the summer.

Todd Genke

He told me to move him down into the post and get him the ball. He made the call and he responded.

Kent Houser

I think he's saying to ING ... that we have other places that we can go -- not that they have seriously responded to other inquiries.

David Shove

I'm proud of this city because I don't believe the Tyler I came to in 1985 would have responded to the hurricane crisis as it did in 2005.

Rev Jerome Milton

We came out strong in the third quarter. I got on them pretty good at halftime. I sort of challenged them and they stepped up and responded.

Carl Hollis

We responded to that with four points to end the half and that was huge. That told them that we're still here. It gave us confidence to play the rest of the way.

Kevin Olson

We are shocked by the way the government responded to this, by the use of excessive force, we are calling for restraint on all sides.

Beyene Petros

They were great. The crowd responded to them well and the players showed enthusiasm.

Paul Westra

It's looking very similar to last year. We lost to Georgetown and bounced back to beat Maryland, just like last year. Coach has said the biggest thing you can do in a season is respond from a loss. We've responded after both of our losses.

Jon Birsner

The opposition has had all possible freedom, but it does not have the right to break the law and hold rallies without permits. We listen to the criticism, and we've agreed with some of it and responded.

Ali Ahmadov

I'm proud of the way responded after a tough loss earlier this week. The players really showed focus to get us this kind of win.

Cindy Timchal

The area has responded very well when the hurricanes devastated the South, but it's time now to remember that there have been problems (here) and people we need to help in our area.

Janet M. Curtis

We mixed up our lineup just to try something new and they responded.

Joe Kosman

We hadn't done that in the first two weeks. That was really a major point of emphasis during our practices and the kids responded well.

Craig Winninghoff

I guess if I had to attribute it (the turnaround), it was just the fact that the kids have done what we've asked them as a coaching staff and some of those things have turned out to their benefit, which has helped their confidence. The kids have responded very well and they've worked very hard.

Gary Miner

Jomo has responded exactly as he should, with the appropriate vocalizations and postures. Everything I've seen so far says 'breeding.'

Ron Evans

We needed to create some energy at that point. We knew we had half of the game left. We had to find a way to get the job done, and I think the players responded.

Brian Riley

It was our attempt to get a more complete document to go out to public review based on the set of vendors that fully responded. I just don't see how seeing a rough draft of that is going to give any competitive advantage to anyone.

Mary Mitchell

Mt. Pleasant made some runs at us, but we had some people step up. Cody Braden responded with some big baskets, and Bret Holden did a great job rebounding when A.J. went out.

Les Trotter

He did a tremendous job. I knew he was going to be good, but he jumped up three weight classes from last year and I didn't know how he'd handle that. He responded really well; he was the one person who got us going night in and night out.

Troy Houge

Consumers shook off concerns about higher energy costs and responded well to the seasonal promotions. If November is any indication of what consumers are capable of, retailers can expect a very happy holiday season.

Rosalind Wells

Our JV team has continued to set the pace for our varsity team. This is the first game where the varsity has responded to the JV's effort.

Stacey Bradley

That's the name of the game in the CBA, and you have to be prepared to fill voids when players move on. It was real big how our remaining players responded, and there was a chance that we could have splintered and fell apart, but we didn't. Our effort pushed us through for the win tonight.

Dave Joerger

We hadn't planned to come to New Orleans but when the call went out, we responded in force.

William Mathews

Clyde called my parents to get a list of people who would help. He set up a date and got together with all of them. They set the date and Dana and Jake, who own the Mason Jar, donated the place. It's just amazing how people responded.

Sara Friederich

You can put the [hit-and-run on], but the kids have to execute it. That was Mount Carmel baseball. We challenged our guys to come up with a better effort, and they responded.

Brian Hurry

The only thing I told our guys was this was for pride and in a tough environment. The lights were on, and we responded really well.

Tom Crews

Bush benefits from [talk of terrorism and leadership]. He was president when 9/11 happened, and he responded well in the immediate aftermath.

Alec Lamis

I'd like to say that the United States has been ideal in the way they have responded.

Jan Egeland

He went for the shoot and the guy responded with the same thing, but the referee didn't stop the fight because Cliff was still active and defending himself and was well aware of everything despite the brutal punishment.

Cuki Alvarez

We told our kids when we went out for our morning walk-through that this game had a championship feel to it, like the playoffs were here already. That's how we approached it and our kids responded very well.

Chris Olsen

Tonight we talked about playing for our self-respect as a team. The kids responded well.

Coach Davis assumed one of most difficult challenges any coach can accept - following a legendary predecessor. He has responded to these challenges with character, graciousness, with concern for the welfare of his players and with a determination to raise our program into the ranks of the very best in the nation.

While there is uncertainty about the economy at present we still expect the next move in interest rates will be down and that this is likely early in 2006. But while the market responded quite swiftly to the rate cut in August, we do not expect a cut to cause annual house price inflation to accelerate back up to levels seen in early 2005.

I thought the kids did a great job of showing poise. Snyder is a great team, they got us down early and I thought we responded very well to that.

Clay Martin

We've got to move on, we've got to get ready to play Jerome. The kids responded in practice (last Friday) with a hard, physical practice. ... It wasn't a practice for the weak of heart, but no one complained. That says a lot about the kids.

The crew responded with a trained response that they do to keep people from getting on the ship. They managed to evade them, repel them and keep them off the ship.
