Chad Olson

Gray was a very good game for us. It was a good way to bounce back after Lake Region. We had a lot of balanced scoring and we played solid defense. Part of our offense comes off our defense and if we lose that, we?re in trouble. We had both going for us against Gray.

I'm really pleased the way the boys are playing as a team. We had a solid defensive effort behind Jake Lewing and Charlie Welch.

After winning, then finishing second in Boston, my goal since then has been to finish in the top 30 on the money list. I missed the cut last week.

If we can get a little run going for Derek or just a few more putts to fall for Ed, they are both on the verge of just busting out. I just love the consistency of how both are playing under par virtually every round. Both only had a couple of mistakes that kept them from scoring lower.

Brad Neher

That was a pretty solid win in fairly hostile territory. I'm very proud of the guys, the match - it was a big match for [Florida State], they had their band out playing during the match and a lot of promotional assistance and they had a big crowd. It was a fun atmosphere in which to play.

We played 40 minutes of solid hockey, we came back and then we embarrassed ourselves for 20 minutes. That's not the way we play offensively, defensively or in the neutral zone. And everyone's accountable.

Overall, defensive?wise we're real strong on infield and outfield. Just real solid. Offensive?wise, we have four to six hitters that have a lot of power that can produce at the plate.

Melissa Navntoft

It was a great start to the season, they were solid all around. Beating both Rogers and Barrington in the same afternoon is quite an accomplishment as they are two of the better programs in the state. We had not beaten Rogers during outdoor track in a very long time.

Kayla might be a little more versatile, but I don't think there's a big gap between (Brown) and Kayla. This kid (Brown) is pretty solid. She seems to have a great feel for the game.

My job is to get it on the end. . . . I'm not going to score if my teammates don't get it to me. . . . Jay Heaps played great. (Pat) Noonan played great. It was a solid effort all around.

Taylor Twellman

She's pretty one-dimensional. We've seen her enough to know exactly what her moves are. We just need to be patient and stay with the game plan to shut her down. If we play solid defense on her, then she won't do much against us.

Schuyler Sokolow

The team as a whole had a solid performance. We just had a few bobbles, but we had fairly consistent routines on the balance beam and the uneven bars.

Charlie Smythers

That will allow us to expand our capacity. And those are things that need to be built before we can really grow to the next level. You have to build that solid base.

Robin King

I wouldn't want to say never on anything like that, because it's fun to turn people's heads around with something like that. But we only have about 25 minutes of solid music of our own -- we could pull together a couple of covers or something like that and make a set for someone. If it presents itself, we'd look at it for sure.

Jason Newsted

It's no hidden secret. It's no code you have to break. You have to have solid defense, you have to have good pitching and timely hitting.

Ken Ashlock

Allen Pritchett

I want to try and get into those kinds of places. It's very important to make devices for life detection on Mars, for example. ... Any planet or moon with a solid surface will do.

The retail sector is an industry to watch on the prospect that companies continue to post solid earnings.

She does the same reliable job you'd expect her to do. ... She has a track record that is long and solid enough that it can withstand the usual ups and downs of a starring career.

Steve Hine

I am very proud of the progress the Company has made both operationally and financially over the last several years. We began 2006 with positive momentum and very solid results. We continue to make excellent progress in strengthening our capital structure, paying off debt, growing earnings and most importantly, growing cash flow.

Craig Rogerson

There are some pretty good underlying fundamentals of the U.S. economy. A good Philadelphia Fed number will confirm the U.S. economy is solid and boost the dollar.

Michael Jansen

The company offers many compelling positives, including a recurring revenue, high operating leverage business model and solid long-term performance.

David Lang

We're just immature, and we're not where we need to be in terms of competitive greatness. Yet, there's times when there's flashes of very solid basketball. That's where we've been. I'm not happy with it, and we're very disappointed that two or three players couldn't step their game up and make the plays they needed to make when the game was in the balance.

Randy Dunton

All four teams have a solid lineup from top to bottom. There's no weak links in any of the four lineups. It's not often that occurs.

Chuck Tursky

I thought that we played pretty solid in the first half. The PK. That was the difference (in the half) with that call. It was not an even half, but it was one where we should have gotten out 0-0.

Tom Taucher

We're going to play a lot of very good baseball teams in league play. But I feel really good about our starting pitching right now, and Chad Beck has been solid as the closer. We're not where we need to be hitting the ball right now, but that will come. I think we'll be a good hitting team before it's over.

Tony Robichaux

That comment should calm concerns that the first quarter could be down, and positions Best Buy for solid earnings per share improvements against the second and third quarters.

Gary Balter

Stephanie is a great all-around player who will most likely play outside hitter for us. She has solid fundamental skills needed to play college volleyball, and has a good feel for the game. With experience under her belt, Stephanie will become quite a student of the game.

Jocelyn Price

We need all six players to play solid, ... Hopefully we'll get everyone here doing that in the next couple of weeks.

Tim Richards

Greg Strobel

It's not about increasing yield, it's about maintaining yield. Look at it as a house. The foundation has to be solid.

Palle Pedersen

He's playing solid. He had one tough game against Hillsborough (an 8-1 loss). Besides that, the goals we've been letting up have been power-play goals. If we stay out of the box, we're going to be successful.

Rob Siris

Other than that second inning our pitching was pretty solid. I thought defensively we played a real solid game, making only one error. When it's this cold defense is a little tougher than your usual day.

Mark Jackley

I think that we can play better, but we played well enough to win. We are very young and we made some youthful mistakes, but the effort was solid. The puzzle isn't quite complete yet, but this is a step in the right direction.

John Margarita

Once again, we had a solid third period.

Mike Donahue

The bottom line is it is a very solid report, but with continued inflationary pressure building up, it will make it easy for the Fed to conclude (Tuesday's meeting) with a quarter-point increase.

I feel like we're solid defensively. I feel like we're better than a year ago. I feel like we're poised. (But) there is major question marks at safety and linebacker going into the fall as far as depth.

Reggie Herring

We're pretty solid, particularly in the lighter weights. And we have some experience. We should make another run at it.

Skip Wilson

The pitching was solid. Jake did a good job of getting out of that inning. If we're going to do anything state-wise, we've got to have Jake throwing well.

Greg Payne

China's economy is expected to continue its extended cycle of strong growth, thanks to the pivotal role it plays in the global supply chain.

Its emerging middle class and growing consumerism will continue to attract capital goods and luxury items from the rest of the world.

Gene Huang

Their guards are solid, they got out into transition and that's what they do. They feed off transition and Downey was just hitting his shots.

Considering Wall Street held serious doubts about Tweeter's survival, ... if the company can continue this sales momentum through the holiday season, it will be on much more solid footing and have a better chance for survival.

William Armstrong

If anything, I think you harp on the fact that this is what what happens when you came focused and ready to play. Our kids seemed really dialed in. When they're focused and play together, we're a very solid football team. When we're not, we're very vulnerable.

Rief Gilg

Wingate has a very good team. They dominated the South Atlantic Conference this season. They are big, skilled and smart ... a solid team and we will have our work cut out for us.

Brian Curry

They aren't flashy, but they're real solid. They get the job done.

Mark Blondin

The defenders were outstanding tonight. They really were rock solid as a group.

Kat Conner

It's tough to stop him. He'll beat you from the outside, he can drive on you. He beats you inside, he's big, he's strong. He's definitely a solid player without a doubt. He was just too tough.

Dean Duquette

I think it's a continuation of buying since their better-than-expected results so that's looking very solid at the moment.

Grant Williamson

Thomas is the team to beat right now. They're playing solid baseball, putting runs up and getting solid pitching.

Dave Starling

Another solid round -- that makes two in a row for us and the second time we've had the medalist. Sean is continuing his consistent play, so we'll just strap it on his back and see how far he can carry us.

Stan Stout

It's a lot better than a loss. Van Buren is a great team, even better than last year. But we played solid all-around. I think the forces were with us tonight.

Anthony Sims

Offensively we were solid again. We hit the ball hard, but we left a lot of guys on base, too. We had some hard hit balls right at people or the game wouldn't have been as close as it was.

Bruce Steinbecker

We played another solid defensive game and we passed the ball pretty well. Fatima played a very defensive style of setup having just two kids mainly play on the attack. Most of them were shelled in the box, but for the most part we were successful getting the ball where we wanted it.

Kent Briscoe

We have a very strong case against him, and as far as motive, it doesn't matter. Our case is rock solid.

Charles Zhang

We are confident that tight and well-scheduled operations with sufficient capital expenditure will lead to more solid growth in reserves and production, securing stronger long-term growth for the company.

Jon Clark

We're focused on getting good, solid design wins that put us in a good position for the future.

David Rogers

We have to guard Smith and play solid defense. We can't let him get 50. He can't blow up.

A lot of people have underestimated the class of 2004. I think they've all put on solid shows, and they're going to be just fine.

Dan Goossen

We are solid, we are in it for the long haul and we've been preparing for this attack since last spring.

Guy Dolle

He's had a hell of a year, and now he's having a little tough stretch. We're in a good situation because (Boucher) has come in here and played some pretty solid hockey . . . It's a good situation with those two guys. Hopefully, they feed off each other.

Rick Tocchet

I think the veteran guys will adapt to their new roles. We have some promising young players, who will need to have solid seasons.

Chuck Schoolcraft

When you get in foul trouble it helps to know you have solid people to bring in and help out. It's also helped in practice, when we have a second team that can keep up with the first team.

Claude Tyler

It was in slow motion. I was just watching it. It's nice luck, you know. I got a solid chunk of that too.

Blair Betts

They're the best team on the Coast. Gulfport has a good team and is solid in every phase. We'll keep improving.

The golf course is playing very difficult and I'm playing very solid. The greens are in such good shape, you can trust your read. You can expect it to go where you want it to.

Dicky Pride

When we go out and don't make errors, we have a solid shot of winning against anyone.

Wayne Vickery

It's not like we set a goal as to how many field goals to give up. But we know that if we play good, solid, disciplined defense Ð we don't allow penetration, we don't allow second-shot opportunities Ð it's going to be difficult for teams to score against us.

Paul True

Whether I'm pitching,or in the outfield, there is a sense that this is a complete team this year. We hit better, we are impressive defensively, and the pitching is solid from top to bottom.

Glenn Witkowski

I think we've been coming together in practice and we're really starting to click. We will see rather quickly whether we're ready or not. I believe we are ready. We've been executing against our defense, and our defense is a very, very solid squad.

Brad Honeycutt

The way Southern Miss' program was set up, I had the best chance of making an immediate impact. I wanted to be a factor and be able to help the team out right away. And it's a solid program with a chance to do well nationally.

Rob Hudson

I kind of feel at home in Texas. I've had a solid year. To win another tournament would be great and to win another one would be fantastic.

Mark Mcnulty

This was another solid quarter for Sony Ericsson, and has enabled us to finish the year with great momentum.

Miles Flint

He was a workhorse, on both sides of the football. He ran the ball hard, and was a focal point, shutting down the field at middle linebacker. Missing Renner makes him the featured back. Having him and Mark Wright as the one-two punch, that's still a pretty solid rushing attack.

Kevin Ghee

The highlight is that it was solid.

Ron Nehring

It's just feeling good. Pretty solid today, consistent match. Really a good way to get into this tournament.

Amelie Mauresmo

It was a solid second half. We played with energy and a sense of urgency. That makes a world of difference.

Matt Strophy

I expect good solid numbers from the Midwest, and the idea is to grow from there. We just in the last three months started having those breakthrough markets. We went from 60 kids to 600 kids in those cities in 90 days.

Ken Cooper

We continued to see solid double-digit sales growth from the vast majority of our businesses in the third quarter, ... This has enabled us to offset the decline in business units affected by Asia.

Just as citizens, ... we feel badly about the fact that there's been a rash of violence. . . . Clearly, that was not our intent in publishing what we thought was a solid news item.

Mark Whitaker

Garnett is a ferocious pass rusher and is extremely solid on offense which made him highly sought-after in free agency. He will provide pressure up front that will help a Stan Davis-run defense dominate.

Sparky Mcewen

We believe the change will allow us to maintain the solid presence of the US navy and contribute to keeping Japan's security.

Hiroyuki Hosoda

I thought we played well. We hit the ball very well, we scored a lot of runs, we were solid all the way around.

Meggan Staton

Erika had an outstanding weekend. She was solid. She made some big saves when she needed to, and she was just very steady back there.

Jackie Barto

This is the best group of kickers that we've ever had. It's our kickoff guys, (Jared) Develli and (Jud) Dunlevy, they're kicking it in the end zone. Brandon Pace has been solid as a rock, and Nic Schmitt is booming them.

Frank Beamer

We followed his lead. He was a solid leader and a good guy. He gets two checks in the good guy column.

Alan Bomstein

I'm so happy for April. She had a great (uneven) bars routine and was solid on vault and floor. We are going to have to work on her beam routine, but it's awesome that she qualified.

Gayla Billingsley

Thanks to solid underlying performance during the quarter, we are on track with our financial targets and delivering on our commitments.

Gerard Kleisterlee

It's more like a relay race and the torch is now passed to Atlantis and the STS-121 crew, ... Now we have some data to work with, and for the first time in the shuttle era, we've got a very solid place to start.

William Readdy

We are generally pleased that we were able to report a solid quarter in a tough advertising environment, ... Sluggish retail advertising and continued declines in automotive reduced the rate of revenue growth in the quarter. But our real estate and employment advertising remained strong both in print and online, with online advertising showing continued strength in all categories.

Gary Pruitt

Another solid opponent will be Northwest Cabarrus right up the road, ... We're going to be playing all the county teams, but they've done a real nice job and it's always a fun rivalry. Butler is in a conference that is night in and night out very strong. We definitely have our work cut out for us.

Scott Wolfe

All of his games -- including exhibition and intra-squad games -- were telecast nationwide, ... It was this that gave the Japanese their first real solid look at the way Americans play ball. They saw how accepting the Americans were, and decided that maybe they could act the same way.

Robert Whiting

Annie is rock solid and has had a great career here. She can do it all out on the field.

John Planamenta

I just try to put some points on the board. And if the shots aren't going I have to do some other things; get rebounds, play solid defense.

Shannon Francis

They're solid but are not five-star kind of guys.

Brian Stumpf

We were trying to keep people away from predicting 15-to-20-percent growth rates [in U.S. services] in the third quarter, when we came off a 7-percent growth rate in the second quarter, ... We're seeing good growth, good job creation that's still solid, but about the same as it was in the second quarter.

Jeffrey Joerres

I'm just playing real solid. I'm very pleased with finishing with a 69 this morning and then following it up with a good round this afternoon.

Brett Rumford

We played solid defense the whole game.
