You have got to have a sense or urgency and prepare to play. I can't speak to any individual player in that regard. In a game, you have to get certain things done whether it is on offense or defense.

Mark Spitzer

I think in ways I'd like to consider myself one of those guys but it's coming from a different position than what I'm used to being in. Not to take anything away from that, but we can't coddle anybody. There has to be a sense of urgency to find a way to better yourself and become a true pro.

Tiffany Jackson

When we came back, we had a good talk. It's disappointing to get a loss when you have five kids win and five kids lose. It puts a negative, somber note on the weekend. We're a good team, and we didn't wrestle as well as we should have. We need to wrestle with a sense of urgency and make the small adjustments.

Troy Sunderland

Someone put a lid on the bucket. We missed all 17 of our 3-pointers. We were 17-of-74 from the field. We were 16-of-31 from the line. Castle Rock out-hustled us and out-worked us. We had a big enough lead that we were able to hold on, but we did not play with a sense of urgency and we missed a lot of shots.

Glen Flanagan

Their performance speaks for itself. We have realized the past two years that we need to instill a sense of urgency and a sense of intensity in getting to the ball. We're not happy unless 11 guys get to the ball. If it's a 20-yard incomplete pass, you still have to get there.

Jason Bornn

We feel a sense of urgency about that.

Jay Manning

It was a low scoring game. In the fourth, we played well offensively. I think we felt a sense of urgency. Brooke did a good job of making her shots and gave us a spark that seemed ignite us.

We just have to keep building on the fourth quarter. There was a sense of urgency that I don't know why wasn't there during the whole game.

Kael Kristof

My hat's off to (Odessa High). They came out flying all over the park. They played with urgency and that created a lot of problems for us, but I have to give credit to my kids. We bent, but we didn't break, and we've been doing that all year long.

Steve Mcbride

There is a sense of urgency. We'd like to have as much of it in place as possible by opening day, but we're not going to be panicked if it's not.

Bob Mills

Urgency fuels defense. These guys found some urgency.

Coleen Rowley

(The seniors) are the only ones who have the sense of urgency. I don't think (other players) are really worried about it being the last game.

Karl Malone

Guys weren't happy about it. So I think it's definitely a sense of urgency to get our second half of the year started on a good note and win our own tournament.

Anthony Hsieh

So you can imagine there's a strong sense of urgency.

Jody Conradt

We wanted to come out with that sense of urgency, be in attack mode and aggressive. It was good on both ends of the court. We really moved the ball well and made the right adjustments to get a comfortable lead by half.

It's got high stakes and a great urgency. It's sort of like a regular 'Grey's Anatomy' on testosterone and on speed.

Peter Horton

These next four weeks we need a sense of urgency. We need to get the job done.

Stephen Barton

It's, it's really been grim. I mean they realize that this is probably the biggest political crisis they've faced in the President's tenure. I think what they're trying to create now after two weeks is a level of engagement and urgency that the President created after three days, just three days after the 9/11 attacks. It's a major challenge.

David Gregory

The message of this report is urgency.

Michael Leavitt

I think right away (following the two wins), you could see what they did (to us). We went into Minnesota with a lack of urgency. I don't know whether that's carried on, but (the Red Wings) took the opposite approach and they've been working hard since then.

Dan Hamhuis

We played with fire and urgency, and we played with heart. There's still a feeling like I'm not satisfied. I felt like the kids deserved to win.

The urgency to appoint a true deflation fighter at the Bank of Japan is not going to disappear with this report.

Jesper Koll

Every weekend we have been going into the games with a sense of urgency. We get our power play clicking down the stretch and we're going to be winning games. Goaltending, we have one of the top guys in the country. Defensively, as a team we're ranked sixth in the country. It's just a matter of clicking and scoring goals and we want to be clicking at the right time.

Nate Guenin

With AIDS we saw what can be done when people start paying enough attention to a disease -- prices of AIDS drugs dropped from $15,000 to under $200. The same sense of urgency should be given to malaria.

Nathan Ford

For the next five days, lawyers worked day and night; they gave us a lot of financial information, so we understood there was an urgency.

Bruce Buck

The urgency of . . . putting those programs in place with mandatory elements was based on this incorrect assessment.

Robert Pinsky

It's a very tight marketplace with a very short supply of viable talent, and we expect that trend to continue for the next 12 to 18 months. In the manager, senior manager and executive levels, we're seeing even more urgency among employers looking for good candidates both locally and from outside Las Vegas.

Bill Werksman

I think we got caught not having the urgency we needed early in the game. We didn't get out and jump on them. We didn't put them on their heels like we've done to other teams in the past.

Dave Strang

I'm going to keep on praying. I feel the urgency of time. We're adults. We'll regroup, but the children are impressionable. Those children need their teachers.

Ronnette Smith

The sense of urgency is rising.

Tom Humphries

Especially when you're backed up like that, there needs to be a real sense of urgency to take care of the ball. That could be a real momentum swing.

Union negotiations will play a critical role in the plan's success, and even with the health care concessions, it is not clear that a sense of urgency and shared pain exists at the UAW.

Craig Hutson

It was a good game and we played with a sense of urgency. Chesapeake was a little bit undermanned, so we can't get overconfident because of this game, but we played with a lot of energy, which I appreciate as a coach.

Darryl Adams

There's no sense of urgency on our part. We don't have to do anything. Just go out and take care of business.

Shelly Lombard

Sony and its peers all face tremendous pressure in the marketplace, but we have a sense of urgency and we have a sense of purpose. We can and will compete vigorously.

Dan Judd

What's lacking here is a sense of urgency, a political will to get these things done.

Halee Hamilton

It's disappointing to get off to that start on your home floor, and the other team plays with more passion and urgency. Certainly you want to start fast and get the crowd into it. You've got to have some grit when things don't go well and bounce back quickly. You can't wait until halftime.

Bob Semling

There was a sense of urgency present that we had not seen in either company prior to the challenge by Walter Hewlett. The question at this point is: Can they keep it up and deliver on expectations?

Andy Neff

They seem to have a little more sense of urgency in the spring.

Julie Garner

I thought they played well together. That just goes to show you don't need one of the best players in the league to play well. It came down to they wanted it more than us. We had no sense of urgency and they did.

Blake Ahearn

It was disappointing for us to be as lethargic as we were and just emotionless even when we were down six points. We never showed a sense of urgency and never really found a rhythm. Obviously LSU had a lot to do with that.

Stephany Smith

The issue has been on the government's back burner and languished because of lack of attention, ... In my judgement, there's a lack of concern for the urgency of this.

Jim Abbott

They deserve to be recorded and their music saved for posterity. And if they can make a few bucks out of this, fine. But the urgency of doing this is pressing. Many of them are dying and old age is preventing others from coming to Salina.

Chad Kassem

This finding gives us one more reason to address steroid use by professional athletes as a matter of societal urgency.
