I want to see the correct focus and the correct attitude, not just from the players, but the entire organization of the importance of the season. Last year, we rebounded and had a very good regular season and our expectations were high, and we didn't meet those expectations in the playoffs. I think rather than running from that, we need to meet those expectations head-on.

Doug Armstrong

Salim Stoudamire

Dave and Kyle have both been running well. Having depth in the distance events has really given our team a boost this season.

Dave Beaudoin

Sara Hunter

I think it made the players see that we needed to put our work in at practice and really set the tone for the whole season. It gave them a new battle to fight for and raised their level of defense and execution on offense.

Rachael Scoggin

We're in the middle of our migration season now where birds are flying. Are they going to bring it back to the Midwest on their flight patterns, we don't know. They're monitoring the birds closely--Alaska is the primary spot where they're watching the birds because it's the closest point where we would see contact.

Deb Steffen

I don't like starting the season off on the road, but I don't have much choice. Getting opponents to come here (during the winter) is very difficult.

Mac Gifford

This was really a big game for us. This was the difference between finishing second or possibly fourth. The game really set up the rest of the season up for us.

Chris Bown

Actually I am a little bit surprised. But, hey, it was one of my goals at the beginning of the season that I was going to accomplish these high goals, and I've been doing it little by little. So even higher goals for next year.

Jorge Cantu

We believe there is opportunity for a sales-trend improvement as the assortments turn around season after season.

Victor Martinez

We're coming into the heat of the holiday season and we're not seeing any discernible changes. Most of our customers are bullish.

Ron Slaymaker

I damn sure wish it hadn't happened until the season was over. He's under contract with us and he's obligated to us. Right now, everyone's saying the right things. We'll just see how it works out. The bottom line is we don't know.

Red Mccombs

Bowling Green is about on the same level as us right now and have had some close, tough loses this season. This meet will come down to who has the best swim on that day and we are looking forward to a tough meet.

Monta Ellis

This has been a team that has overachieved all season.

Mark Hollatz

This was the story of our season. We had a hard time putting together four complete quarters all year.

Hopefully, she'll get a post-season award. She's a great role model for the younger girls.

Of course, one of our goals is to win some races. Especially for our seniors, we want to have a successful season.

Patrick Beilein

That guy, he's done so much for the sport. He's an ambassador. He's always talking positive about the sport. It's kind of sad to think that it's his last season.

Adriano Moraes

We don't want to be the class that loses the trophy after we've worked so hard to get it. Keeping that trophy here was our number one goal before the season, and we have to accomplish it. Anything else would be failure.

Jeremy Chase

It was a really intense learning experience because the show was already up and running. We had to assimilate all that had happened in the first half of the season. It was our third day there when they asked us to write some scenes for the next episode. It was trial by fire.

Adam Horowitz

This season is the most we've ever thrown the ball, but they're the reason why.

James Reynolds

Steve Paska

Oil has set a record high. We're hitting the driving season and Americans are showing no signs of letting up their driving habits.

Matt Hartwig

We're already faster than we were at this same point of last year's season. It will only make Patriots this year even better than the last.

Liz Geary

It happened to work out that way. But it was competitive, and there were any number of teams that could have won. It's very much the same situation this season.

Jody Conradt

I told the kids that if you think that's a fun environment, wait until next month. I can't wait until (playoff) season.

It's been a great season. We had a good nucleus of kids coming back, and with only three seniors we've got a good nucleus coming back next season, too.

Ted Heroux

John is an excellent third baseman and the fact that he can play many positions makes him a valuable player for us. We are very excited to add John to an infield which has greatly improved from last season.

Hal Lanier

The pitchers did phenomenal. They've both made a lot of progress this season.

Paula U'ren

In the past, we have started 5-0, 6-0, 8-0 or something like that, and then we fall short come playoff time. My hope is that we can turn that around this season and use this learning period to propel us later on.

Jim Griffiths

Everyone is just as committed and focused as they were the first season.

Matt Leblanc

It's just another game. It's just going to be nice to get the season going.

Rickie Weeks

I could have returned his phone calls, but it was off-season.

Joe Gibbs

It's a relief that it's over; it's been a tough season all the way around. We felt that we shouldn't have lost a lot of games that we lost, but with a lot of people going down, we haven't been 70%, 60% all year.

Antonio Chatman

At this point of the season, where they is so much at stake, there is no excuse.

Bhawoh Jue

Dave hasn't been taken down all season. That's quite an accomplishment.

Don Cooley

We have to sacrifice not going out on the weekends because we have an early game. Playing soccer has been kind of like a double major Overall the entire season was a really good memory.

Kaitlin O'malley

The biggest dust storms don't usually begin until one or two months after perihelion, ... This one coming so early in the season makes me think Mars is heading for a spell of big dust storms.

Phil Christensen

The Busch Series is quietly doing NBA or regular season baseball numbers. It's wearing out other sports. Busch will never be the Cup series, but we would like the new agreement for that to be a franchise of its own, treated with promotion and announcers that differentiate that series a little better as we go down the road.

Brian France

It really put a lot of pressure on him. He signed early so that he could relax and have fun this season. When he's on, he's as good anyone out there and he stepped up today for us.

Mike Blair

The kids are really happy. Their goals for the season were to win the district and the regional. They've accomplished that. Now, we are looking forward to the state tournament and to see how far we can go.

Kevin Osnes

That's something that's hurt us a lot, ... Not to make excuses, but when you don't have the guys who have worked back there all season long it's going to hurt you. Some of those guys will be back, but again, we don't know exactly when it will be. It's a case by case deal.

Mark Walker

Going into the year, our goal was to beat what we did last year. We won 14 features last season. We're sitting at 19 now and we have two chances to get 20.

Mark Dobmeier

The same teams return for next season. We've had tremendous support from the fans and Integra Bank and our other sponsors.

Curtis Higgins

We talked at the half that we needed to start playing the way we knew how. The main thing we needed to do was play defense. Having lost to Blackville earlier in the season, I don't know if we knew what to expect. I just asked them to turn it up in the second half.

Tonia Young

I've heard those cliches. We knew going into this season where the tough points of the schedule would be. I formed our training toward that.

Brett Terry

We're up 500 percent in bioheat sales over the last heating season, ... Bioheat is working from a pricing standpoint. It's 6 to 8 cents less per gallon than conventional heating oil.

Michael Devine

Our season-ticket holders have been notified. It (the lottery) was based on seniority. The majority of our allocation will go to season-ticket holders.

Bill Keenist

A lot of times, the preseason gets discredited by the fans and media. It helps so much to get that momentum going into the season.

Dane Looker

I don't understand that. We shot better than 70 percent during the season. But, we're still playing.

Carol Smith

I thought the offense had a bunch of different guys who made plays. It's kind of fun for players to be in that kind of decision-making position that we don't put them in during the season.

Randy Tribble

We get a new start in the second half of the season and maybe gain some confidence.

Layne Ulmer

Geoff has played in the Premier League - and proved himself. He was one of West Brom's key players at the tail-end of last season. They were in really dire straits with just a few months to go and it was Geoff and the other experienced players at the club that pulled them through that situation and kept them alive.

Kenny Cunningham

Our kids really started to jell, and we played our best basketball at the end of the season. That's a testament to the coaching staff and all the hard work they put into it.

Josh Kendrick

We want to try and shut down the inside game. We have to try and close the paint, which is what we tried to do all season, anyway.

Gordon Hartwell

Our defense has been our focal point all season. They made solid plays for most of the game.

John Hochstetler

We feel great. We've had a great season and we have good momentum going into the week.

Bill Reichelt

People are doubting us, but we're the best team in college football. We know it right now and everybody else is going to know it by the end of the season.

Quadtrine Hill

It's a very good atmosphere it's something we work on as well and hopefully it will pay off for us. It's a long season, there's going to be times when we're down and we need help from our friends and its nice to know your friends are out on the pitch as well.

Jon Macken

I've had my eyes on that match in the schedule the whole season. There would be nothing better then for us then to end the season with a win over our rivals. We're looking forward to taking them out.

Barrett Wolf

We probably won't have a choice. [Jokinen] wanted to get it done just to get it out of the way, but now that he knows things are [going] very, very slow, he's going to accept it and just focus on making the playoffs and making sure this season means something for the Panthers.

Mark Gandler

The four games we've played with Miami this season have all been determined in the last five minutes. That's a positive sign.

Jeff Jackson

I hope we can take advantage of our speed. We also had a very good summer off-season turnout.

Mark Mazzon

I'm really excited about her potential. She has begun the season by posting some very good early-season times. Jenna is very crucial to the success of the team. I expect her to be a top athlete in (Division III) this season.

Dean Tower

Now we know what it takes. So we just take it back to the off-season and crawl back up from scratch again.

Michael Myers

It's been pretty extraordinary. Despite the press conference on Wednesday it's taken me a bit of time to get over the defeat [at Fir Park]. It was hurting. Someone just asked me did I have any regrets and my only one would be that, due to circumstances, I don't have a chance now to go and try and regain the championship for next season. It's gone. There's a finality to it.

Martin O'neill

I'm very happy to be extending my contract for a further season (until 2007). I think we are building a strong club and I'm glad that I will be a part of the future.

Shaun Mcrae

Kyle was hurt for most of the season, but he and guys like Dan, Andrew and Mike were all about the team. They were all model citizens, the kind of kids you like to be associated with.

John Martino

We just want to have something to strive for at the end of the season.

Ian Millward

The action we are taking now is fiscally responsible so that we don't fall back into debt. We plan to focus our attention on strengthening our financial foundation so we can continue moving forward after this season.

Frank Cavalier

Actually, I didn't think about the wins until the beginning of this season. I realized I had 90 and it's not that far away from second place. First was a long-shot anyway.

Matt Lee

We'll see what happens. When the season starts it's a clean slate. I know what I'm capable of doing. It's just been a bad spring.

Junior Spivey

I'm going to get a lot more goals this season. Give it to 'Brew.' He's going to need it.

Doug Weight

Us being flat won't be a factor. The competition in training, the intensity has been better than it has all season. That edge was there again.

Laurie Calloway

I got a chance to play during the season; at some points during the season I actually started in some games and all that little experience I got just made me a better player.

Ryan Wright

It's a one-game season and we've been waiting for this opportunity to get some momentum going at the right time. We had a good January and February, and down the stretch we won big games on the road.

Mike Dunlap

We remember that we were one point away last year and that's added fuel. This is a whole new season, but we should be a strong team outdoors.

Deb Vercauteren

It's a huge, huge game. We don't want to go down two games to nothing in a short series like this, so it's a huge game, a must win. All of our guys have to play their best game of the season.

Kevin Nastiuk

It's going to be pretty hard because we've all had our clubs kind of a long time, and to get new clubs right now in the middle of our season, it's going to be really hard to get used to it.

Nicole Aoki

Other proposed extended seasons have been zoned. Individual counties could opt out. We are definitely opposed to this extended season.

Ricky Kelly

The birds tend to be more vocal and active because they're coming into breeding season and it's much easier to see.

Tim Gallagher

Kenyatta just had a great season for us. It might have surprised a lot of people, but not me because she has such a great work ethic.

Maurice Garner

Because of the cool, early season, we are not even to the point where we are able to sex the plants.

Steve Bailey

Stephen was pressed into duty last season and did a nice job. He is driven to succeed and works hard to improve. Last year's experience will come in handy for him.

Dick Nyman

Japan is entering the summer holiday season. Activity should be limited this week and next.

Minoru Tada

Overall it was good to get outside the last two days, even though it was cold. To get out here and work out a lot of the kinks before we kick off the conference season on Tuesday, I think it will make a big difference.

Tim Funkhouser

At our first team meeting, he handed out binders that detailed daily workouts from the fall to the end of the season. He emphasized that this team would not be a joke and that we'd better be here to wrestle, and if not, he would find someone else to. His organization and motivation has really helped us.

Jim Crumlish

It's early in the season and we know what they can do for us.

Dick Umile

I'm expecting a pretty tough series [this weekend]. It's the end of the season and they're fighting for position, too ... so we're going to play hard and hopefully we'll beat them this weekend.

Nikki Burish

It seems like this entire season we were under this black cloud of injuries and illnesses. At the beginning of the season we had a lot of depth, and it took a lot of depth to get through this year. But in gymnastics injuries happen. It's just a matter of working through it.

Marci Skeen

I'm really proud of the way our team has played this season. They went out and did everything we have asked them to do.

Jesse Chick

I'm not expecting a miracle during the first season after a new start in 2006. But I'm confident that the new team will be successful over the long term.

Nick Heidfeld

I got two goals today, I'm happy. I thought Marques and I teamed up well and I think you can expect more of the same from us this season.

Tatsuhiko Kubo

The holiday season did not live up to anyone's expectations.

Paul Eibeler

I was very impressed with my team overall this year. When you get a chance to really look back at it, we had a great season.

Kristi Heafner

Actually, my goal in 2002 was to make the Pro Bowl, ... My goal this season was to be the best defensive lineman in the NFL.

Kris Jenkins

I feel a lot more confident with the team this year. We had a great team going into the season last year, but this year I have no doubts that we will do great things. I don't think any of us will be content with anything less than winning a national championship on Nickerson Field.

Alex Mount

We felt we could make a run for [the Big Northern Conference East Division title], like we had that potential. It was kind of a tough season, but we feel like we can win a regional and get a plaque on the wall.

Nick Jorgensen

Bonds had a great night and that is what we have been waiting for all season from her. She scored 13 of those points in the first quarter.

Heath Gibson

It's going to be exciting. Being in D-I is going to be a challenge, but we'll be able to handle it. We have a lot of good freshman and newcomers coming in, as well as those returning. It should be a good season.

Jennifer Hunt

We do this to ourselves every year. We put ourselves in a position where we have to battle like this until the end of the season. It's frustrating. We can't go back. That's the way it is.

Georges Laraque

We're struggling right now. We're pitching well, but we're giving away too many at-bats. Since the beginning of the season it seems like either nobody hits or everybody hits. Hopefully we'll figure it out (today).

Danny Valencia

I finally got that win, and it feels great. . . . Hopefully this will be the first of a few more this season.

Henry Liaw

We're not used to losing. I think the kids are disappointed and frustrated, and that shows sometimes when we play. We had expectations of a better season. We've had opportunities to win, and we've been knocking at the door and someday we're going to bust it down.

Scott Dejong

He's had a good pre-season, ... He linked up well with Ian Murray on the left. Peter was at last getting at his opponent, driving on and getting crosses in. I always said I wanted him to scale the heights of my first 18 months here, when he scored a lot of goals. He's capable of that, but it's just a matter of him believing.

Alex Mcleish

It's a tough loss. It's going to hurt for awhile. But the kids have to be resilient, the coaches have to be resilient. It's still early enough in the season where we can still perhaps make a run in the league. But we have to improve. We have to find ways to win games like this.

Jon Constant

Ryan really came into his own and made great strides last season. We were expecting even bigger things this year and so far, he's delivered.

Bob Holmes

Kelly has been here before. She didn't want her season to end.

Christine Labombard

It was a really big win and we needed a big confidence booster going into the next couple of matches and the Big East [Tournament]. We all knew we had the potential [to have a great season] and are hoping to keep it up until the NCAA [Tournament].

Katie Potts

These are the main events for these folks. They are in training all year -- there is no off-season. The games are a highlight that they look forward to -- they connect to old friends, compete and are treated like celebrities.

Linda Bird

It's probably something she's been playing with the whole season. It's been bothering her and she got it looked at. She's basically been playing on one leg the whole season. It's the same leg she broke in softball last year. She broke the fibula then and now it's the tibia.

Brian Blume

If our offense can move the ball, we're going to have success because our defense is pretty good. We're not great, but we're pretty good on defense. By the endo the season I hope people label us as a great defense.

Brad Franchione

We draw a lot of energy from our penalty kills. This is our 37th or 38th penalty we've killed this season. No one has scored on the power play against us.

Scott Maxham

It's an alarming trend to see two and we're basically in the middle of whale season.

David Schofield

We want to use the end of last season as motivation for this one.

John Runion

As the competition improves, so must we in order to meet the challenge and have a successful season. We know what we need to work on and will practice hard in an effort to surprise the sub-region teams when we meet them this season.

Teale Hemphill

You just have to give Dallas the credit. They have a good team. They have been playing well this season. They ran into a team that has not been playing well, and trying to learn things that they are doing. At this point, it didn't show.

Jalen Rose

The good news is that there is nothing structurally wrong with Ben's shoulder. It's a muscular problem and he's going to make a full recovery. The bad news is that he's probably not going to recover in time to pitch again this season.

Gord Ash

Her goal is to play as well as she can at state and see where that takes her. With every match, she's improved and played her best tennis of the season at sectionals. She has the experience and determination to let loose and see what she can do.

Nich Schafer

That was a set play. He was the key on the play, coming in from the defense. It was his fourth goal of the season on that play.

Trevor Waters

He may be the No. 1 kid left on their board. There might've been some high school kids that were a little bit higher, but, to tell you the truth, as it got further into the recruiting process and further into the season, Brent Schaeffer definitely emerged as one of their top, if not the top guy on their board.

Jeremy Crabtree

Jimmy is one of the nation's top setters. He has done an excellent job of leading us from the day he got here. He worked out in the off-season with the football team and is now a bigger, stronger, faster, more flexible and more physical player.

Turhan Douglas

I've lost two jobs this season because I couldn't get people — any people. And I'm one of the largest labor suppliers around here. If I'm having trouble, everybody's having trouble.

Fred Garza

We played well defensively. I think our kids are playing with a lot of confidence. That's the kind of stuff that you want when you're about to head into the conference season, so it's definitely good for us.

Barry Gebhart

We knew they were on a roll and this is like their Cinderella season. We knew they?d be up for the game and we knew there was a possibility it would be close. We just had to play our game and that?s we did.

Kerry Loughran

Being the grand marshal of the Jackie Robinson West Little League Season Opening Parade is a real honor for me. That Little League program has begun the careers of many people in and out of the world of sports.

Dorothy Gaters

We won't see a meet like this the rest of the season, even when we get to the state meet.

Jeff Griffin

It's been a rough season and I think a lot of coaches would be frustrated with that record. We don't have any stars on this team but we do have a lot of kids who play with heart. I'm real proud of them.

Jeff Shaw

That was the turning point. We knew the season was on the line so we got some things off our chests and we changed our whole attitude. As a team, we decided to put winning ahead of everything.

Johann Jones

For those two months of off-season in November and December, it's nice to be able to practice whenever you choose, not when the weather chooses.

I'm proud of my kids. Those kids played outstanding football today. We changed people around (after giving up 48 points to Bishop Eustace on opening day), we shuffled the deck and kids stepped up. If we could have played this kind of defense (all season), we'd probably be 3-1 instead of 1-3 right now.

Ty Belford

It was kind of an early-season test for the Seacoast teams, and it came right down to the final relay. It was a whole team effort. There were some gutsy performances. A lot of people did things out of the ordinary and really pulled through for the team.

John Hodsdon

All these records ? I already proved what I can do this season. I just want to get it done, help my team, and get back into the World Series .

Andruw Jones

One of our goals was to win the regular-season title. We still have to go to East Chapel Hill and handle our business to win the championship outright.

Tim Ross

Our support was great this season. And we hope it continues next year when we raise our championship banner.

Joe Augustine

He put a lot of dedication into this season. He went out to Iowa in the off-season ... he was all hard work and effort.

Fred Perry

J has been very consistent for us after he struggled a little bit early on in the season.

Russ Hellickson

I thought we picked up the intensity in the third quarter. Offensively, we started shooting well. That has been our Achilles heel this season, but when we can do that, a lot of good things will happen for us.

Matt Kordsmeier

We've tried to do as much as we can to make this a fun opportunity for people to celebrate the season and get to know the winery, ... We hope the Stomp makes it a little different.

Mark Hollingsworth

Ben is one of those players whose time has come. I expect him to have a big season.

Bob Cavanagh

It will probably be different. The fans will probably be expecting me to do more because of the way this season has been. But I'm going to play about six weeks, maybe get 150 at-bats. If I don't play in the winter, I have a tendency to get fat [from] eating all of that Mexican food.

Oscar Robles

The rivalry is one of the greatest in college football and having these teams showcase their talents in front of a national audience to kickoff the season is tremendous.

John Swofford

If I don't fish for a season, I'm dead. I'm history. It scares the heck out of me. I'm 56. I've done this my whole life. I don't know what else I would do.

Duncan Maclean

I can't wait to play on Sunday but I hate the end of the season. It's a good job there's the World Cup because without football I'm lost.

James Harper

Yes, it was an awesome season. I can't believe we made it so far. It's disappointing because people began to expect us to win; they were talking about picking up their Monday passes (for the state championship). It almost feels like we let them down.

Meg Robbins

It's always a little extra hard to say goodbye to the season, especially being a senior. Our record didn't get us a good spot on the bracket, and we had to face the No. 1 seed. But I think we competed a good portion of the game.

Maggie Daubenmire

My goal for the season is just to play. I don't have to start right away, but I do want to play.

Kenny Phillips

I'm extremely excited to move forward. Baseball has been great to me. It's been a great experience. But I'm definitely ready to move on. The lifestyle - people don't realize how difficult it is. A lot of things happened to me this off-season. There are things more important in life (than baseball). I decided to step away.

Wes Carroll

A lot of the divers have also decided to swim with us this season. It depends on which days the meets are, but they'll be able to choose which they want to do every week.

Charlie Bowman

We had some injuries toward the end of the season, but a lot of teams have that. It's very gratifying. The kids wrestled [well].

John Salmon

We need to take this and build because we still have the balance of our season left.

Willie Thornton

In a way, it's been kind of a dream season because you play every game down to the wire and that's what you play for. But it's probably the worse season in the fact that every loss that we've had is so close.
