I think we were really focused last weekend. Hopefully we can carry that off one final weekend.

Steve Mullin

This was a good series for us. Arkansas State has a nice ball club and they have shown they are capable of beating good teams. They gave us a tussle this weekend, and today we had to make some plays and pitch well.

Ron Polk

Michael's had a very strong off-season. He's trained hard and he's really looking forward to playing this weekend. We've been eagerly awaiting his debut.

John Dixon

Mike and Paul did a great job today. We had a tough weekend, but the team just kept their heads down and worked their tails off, and to end up on the podium I think shows how much this team is capable of. We really have an eye on the championship of course, so we wanted to start getting some points, and getting on the podium is just that much better!

Mike Shank

The morale is still much alive and we're going for a kill this weekend.

Tabengwa Mothusi

They had boys coming up to them their first day back saying we saw you on TV this weekend.

Robyn Grigoletti

It was a great weekend. I don't want the season to be over for some of the kids but they gave it all they had.

Jamie Wise

We need to be more physical and we need to sustain our blocks longer. If I was a backup and was going to play this weekend, I'd be excited. It's a chance to show what you can do as a football player.

Grant Preston

Most of our athletes will be competing this weekend and the seven potential reserves have been spoken to by the chairman of selectors about the process that will take place over the next few days and what they can expect.

Bill Davoren

I believe the team is being fair in its decision for this weekend. Although I am not currently in a championship race, the team is in a points race. I always welcome opportunities that are presented to me, and to work with a veteran like Jimmy Spencer is a great opportunity. I hope that this decision will not only benefit me, but the team as well.

Brent Sherman

In the past I think you had that (weaker) fourth-place team, so if you were first-place, then you really felt good about being in the finals. But now Neumann's the type of team that if you don't show up, they're going to beat you. So it's definitely a weekend where there could be an upset.

Kevin Houle

It's great to get back to .500 in the conference. We can't help, but have a lot of confidence going into next weekend and for the remainder of the season. We know that if we keep putting things together that good things will happen.

Kc Carter

What a weekend, five goals and an assist.

Jeff Guinn

Missouri got banged this weekend.

Joe Schaefer

I am committing to play at the University of Kentucky. It's a beautiful place to play. They have great fans. It's a great atmosphere. I came up for my visit this past weekend, and I was really amazed how the fans really appreciate basketball.

Jodie Meeks

I haven't had a day off or a weekend off in a while. When football was over, I started basketball the next day. When basketball was over, I went straight into baseball and track. If I haven't had baseball practice, I've had track practice.

Thomas Pile

I'm looking forward to this weekend in terms of more opportunities to qualify.

John Izzo

That is something we are going to talk about this weekend.

Mike Taylor

We're calling it the weekend to remember. Or to forget.

Spencer Edelman

The past few games, we've controlled the ball a lot better. It's going to be important this weekend.

Greg Baudo

It's kind of cool to have a weekend to yourself, and the world is made to accommodate you.

Barbara Spiegel

There is some feeling that the small separation between add and drop deadlines is not very helpful. [Students] can't petition [or] find faculty over the weekend. It could be that we [will] have the drop deadline and add deadline all on Friday or Sunday. That way we won't tease students.

Donald Blake

We know that 'Monday Night Football' is really popular out here because people bet on it. People who lose on the college games on Saturday and the pro games on Sunday try to make it all up on Monday night. That's a major factor in the popularity of 'Monday Night Football' across the country. People who have lost over the weekend try to get back to even. Whether they do or not is another story.

Dick Davies

We work extremely hard everyday, because the outfield is something we take pride in. This weekend was different with the errors, but it's something we know will be fixed.

Drew Stubbs

It's a great experience, there's no doubt. I think the tricky part is you've got to leave it here. We've got to get back to what we do and hopefully play better and cleaner baseball this weekend.

David Perno

A lot of the feedback we received from athletes said their significant others desperately wanted to participate in the weekend, but weren't ready to compete in the long-distance event. The sprint distance race addresses this request.

Dave Blank

Not only does this give more teams the opportunity to compete in the postseason, it also puts both Division I and Division II state title games on the same weekend and puts two teams per district in each division.

Gerald Brence

Daley had a great summer. He should be a high draft pick and one of the better pitchers on the West Coast this season. He'll be the guy who sets the tone for us the rest of the weekend, and we're confident he'll handle that role very well.

Larry Lee

It's not going to be as wet as it was for the past week. We'll still have rain, but it won't be the big deluges that we saw this weekend.

Mark O'malley

All the freshmen did real well this weekend. The mistakes just come from being young.

Mike Pallotto

It's good for Erik. It's not so good for us. We'd love to have him this weekend. But hey, this is what it's all about. Erik's a guy who's right there. If anybody can make it up there I think he's one of the guys that can.

Joey Mullen

This was a prototypical Friday in that traders and investors weren't eager to carry any positions over the weekend and you saw fluctuations back and forth in the market. It will be tough to get a gauge on what Monday morning will look like.

Marty Cunningham

It was a rough weekend and it's not indicative of our season, but I don't know, sometimes you get the bear and sometimes it gets you, and I guess it got us. I'm still very proud of these guys.

Stephen Nichols

There is so much here for everyone to enjoy. Over the last couple of weeks, we have been out their trying to get the word out about Pirate's Day. One weekend, we were up at one of the rest stops in Monmouth County getting the word out about Pirate's Day.

Jerry Thompson

Next week poses a tough challenge against some good teams. I hope the weather is decent this weekend, so the girls can get in some needed court time to work on their ground strokes.

Matt Wiemers

This league is so tight. We were able to move up [in the standings] last week because we were successful versus Ohio State. We are probably gone fall back this weekend because we weren't successful.

Scott Paluch

It's the first time five pictures have ever grossed over $20 million on a three-day weekend. The business is spread out more evenly across the board than there being one locomotive in the marketplace.

Wayne Lewellen

It was a great weekend. Anytime you can beat two top-25 teams on the road, you know you've had success. There are still some things to work on, but this is not the finished product. The best thing is we got results when we didn't feel we played our best.

Jeremy Fishbein

I actually realized our potential the weekend before Crane at the Snyder Tournament. We went out of there 1-3 but we were two innings away from being 3-1. I had a pretty good feeling we had a chance to be real good.

Brad Harman

We didn't know for sure what we could do until I got in touch with the coach at Mandeville over the weekend. This is something that works for both schools.

John Guerin

The initial drive for the day is to lock in profits from recent gainers ahead the three-day weekend.

Hiroaki Kuramochi

The first thing we have to do is prioritize Florida State. I'm not even thinking about Miami or who's even on Sunday. I think we learned from the N.C. State match that we need to take it one at a time. The first part of preparing for this weekend is respecting Florida State and their desire to come here and beat us.

Mark Guilbeau

He also had a tough road. But he worked hard all weekend. That was the key with all of our kids. They all worked so hard.

Jerry Maietta

Last year we got three or four planes together and flew to Chandler for breakfast, ... We usually plan on having fly-outs over Thanksgiving weekend or over Veteran's Day.

Viral Shah

I have to continue to work even though I don't want to. And it's harder at my age. I've had to work a lot harder than I used to. It's had an emotional impact on me and my wife both. She had always wanted to start a ranch for handicapped kids, to allow parents to have a free week or weekend. ... Some days are good, and some are bad. They're bad when we sit and think about what we could have done.

Tom Padgett

Everyone at the club was disappointed with the Hibs defeat, so it is crucial we bounce back against Falkirk on Saturday. We have always reacted well to a loss in my time at the club so hopefully we can do the same this weekend.

Alex Rae

It is good to hole a few putts and enter the weekend again with a chance to win.

Jarrod Lyle

A lot of it is misleading because he has had some close matches. The scores just don't indicate it because he's blowing them open in the last period. He could easily have lost a match or two this weekend, but he's capitalizing when he's in a position of advantage. He's turning people and making things happen.

Dave Schutter

In our tournament over the weekend, we were right there. We just weren't able to get the finish. Once they do that, they're going to shine out there.

Cindy Thompson

We're starting to get on top of it. I think we'll continue to see stuff trickle out for weeks. This weekend is going to tell a lot because we're going to let the guys rest up and give property owners the opportunity to clean their properties and get debris to the curb again for what would probably be a third pass at that time.

Rick Fosse

Our guys got tired as the game went on. That's a scheduling problem when you have to play two Big Ten opponents in one weekend. The guys handled it well.

Mike Freitag

The interesting thing about the conditions where we were racing this weekend was that they were changing pretty often. If we get off the water and then another team gets in and there's a gust of wind, their race is going to go differently than ours.

Tim O'connell

It was a real good weekend. Corey had an incredible year. He really came into his own and beat some incredible people this year. He's proven himself to be one of the best in the country.

Don Jantzen

This weekend was the first time I walked away from this group feeling excited about what we were doing defensively.

Dave Dagostino

Winning and losing isn't important to me so much as playing to a certain level. If we play to the level that I expect our team to play at, we should have three victories this weekend.

Bill Walton

Opening day Thursday we'll be there the whole time, and then the whole weekend.

Steve Williams

Before the hurricane, it would have been one big Mardi Gras-type party this weekend. But it wasn't appropriate to have that when there's people with dire needs and emergencies.

Herb Vincent

It's not fair to really compare this to a weekend sporting event that is traditionally carried live across all the time zones, ... People are available to see it at different times.  This is 17 straight nights, many of them weekday nights, where people will not be available at 5 p.m. to watch the games.

Randy Falco

We are in a bit of a vacuum with the long three-day weekend coming up. Tomorrow will be a vacuum kind of day.

Larry Wachtel

With the King Kong film opening this past weekend, Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie features the ending millions would love to see -- King Kong alive and back on Skull Island.

Tony Kee

Investors cannot make a decision given the long weekend for foreign investors and uncertainty hanging over on Wall Street when trading resumes.

Tsuyoshi Nomaguchi

I've got to admit, I was pretty bummed out most of the weekend because it just seemed like the timing would have been perfect. Still, you have to think in a city like this, where there's a will there's a way.

Jonathan Rosen

Our company goal is to raise more than $5,000 through Helpful Hardware Card sales on Labor Day Weekend.

John Rutter

We need to beat that finishing result, ... Last year, I just wanted to finish the race with all of the fenders on the car. We did that. I want to do the same this weekend, but have a finishing position of at least 10 spots better.

Boris Said

Given they have a G-7 meeting this weekend, the intervention took the market by surprise.

Andrew Busch

We had to shift our lineup because of injuries. We proved we could adjust to the environment even though they may not be our strongest pairs. We will go back to our original lineup as soon as our players all get healthy. But right now we are just concentrating on this competition, rest and then prepare for the weekend.

Jan Brogan

[Clark credited the goalkeeping efforts of Chris Cahill, who had his second shutout of the weekend and was named to his second straight all-tournament team.] You really can't start off much better that that, ... We were playing without starting defender Dale Relias who was out with an injury so our defenders played very well.

Bobby Clark

They've got very good offensive numbers. We're similar clubs in that our strengths are our offenses. It may be one of those weekend series with three (high-scoring) Sunday-type games.

Daron Schoenrock

It's the worst feeling in the world to lose at home. We set high goals, and we're no longer in the driver's seat anymore. But we can go out there and perform our best next weekend. It feels terrible, and I hope we don't feel like this again for the rest of the season.

Jason Avant

I'm hoping that we will show more consistency. This past weekend, at times, we competed well, but just very inconsistently and part of that may be traveling on the road.

Tim Madden

The girls, I think they did really well this weekend. They were competing off of heart because they were pretty beat up.

Pristina Jones

Kitchener may be the class of our conference. Erie always has a good team. They do a good job of reloading. We'll be playing in two very tough buildings this weekend.

Bob Mancini

I can see the frustration in the eyes of the forwards. Last weekend was the first weekend in a while where they looked like they were having fun.

Nate Guenin

Our anticipated strikes may commence in various locations of the Niger delta from this weekend in order to meet our anticipated target of a 30 percent cut in Nigeria's export capabilities for the month of February.

Jomo Gbomo

People in Hawaii have a built-in twinkle in their eye, and bring a sense of play and ohana to their work. When you leave work for the weekend in Boise, Idaho or Delaware, Maryland, you don't see your coworkers again until Monday -- that's not true of Hawaii, which has the most bowling and softball leagues of any state in the union.

Bob Basso

This has been a wonderful year for Darlington. Our new Mother's Day weekend date was a huge success, and now our company has given us an overwhelming vote of confidence with their decision to invest in the track's future.

Chris Browning

We were disappointed this weekend. We swim better at home. We need to learn to be a better road team.

Jeanne Fleck

A lot of my land is underwater now and the majority will be flooded when the crest goes through (next weekend). It is definitely a concern.

Lorne Hamblin

We haven't made a decision yet but we will probably do so at the weekend.

Willie Mullins

We're preparing for our game. We need to stick to our principles, which is just play smart, play hard and play together. I think that is what you saw when we played Milwaukee last weekend. We really put that game together and we have been able to do that this year. If you get into the conference and you are thinking too much about the other opponents, I think it will hurt you and go against you.

Dean Duerst

My mom started taking me into New York every weekend for classes, to find an agent, and to enter me in auditions for commercials.

Marisa Petroro

I think the biggest thing right now is we want to come out, and play well. But there's no reason for us to panic if something out of the ordinary happens this weekend. Hey, it's not likely we're going to go 56-0, so at some point we're going to lose a game. We've just got to put it behind us and be ready to play every day.

Herman Demmink

The tourists used to go down to Sancerre (in the Loire region) for the weekend, taste wines and buy for their cellar, ... Now they can't do that anymore. The cops are right outside the winery ... (Vintners) feel betrayed, these people who have devoted their lives to something they think is beautiful. Now they're told it's criminal.

Kermit Lynch

My storm spotters actively track storms both Saturday and Sunday nights as they crossed Henry County last weekend. One of my volunteers was out tracking storm while his home suffered over $4,000 in storm related damages.

Bob Easton

For us to get a sweep heading into exams is obviously a good thing. I thought our guys did a good job of playing hard all weekend, despite the weather related issues. I am glad that we were able to finish off the sweep to head into the week.

Brian Cleary

Training has been hard, but we're starting to focus more on racing and holding our technique when we're tired. Beyond just having fun and growing as a team, we hope to use the weekend to focus on our turns, our technique and winning the close races.

Mark Stephens

Back-to-back games always intensify everything. It is no secret that the two clubs don't get along and just because neither club can win the league this season doesn't mean the rivalry will be any softer this weekend.

Mike Blaisdell

I think that August reunions are steadily trending downhill because people are busy. We go all the way through to Thanksgiving weekend.

Carol Riley

When we were looking for a weekend place, ... Shannon was working at Jacob's Pillow in the Berkshires, and I was tooling around. I called her all excited about getting a home up there. But she said: 'Yeah, but it's a three-hour drive. When do we have the time for a three-hour drive? With our one day off, we'll come up and we'll have to go home right away.' .

Marc Kudisch

There is an opportunity, perhaps with what has happened over the weekend with the intervention of Tony Blair from Japan, to concentrate people's minds on the issues.

David Ervine

The weather service has predicted high tides and winds for this weekend.

Neal O'haire

We were kind of heading south after dropping four in a row during the weekend, so this is definitely huge for us. It was probably the best we've played all season, offensively, defensively, pitching-wise and coaching-wise. Now we've just got to build on this and put something positive together.

Jon Wente

I felt like I was playing winter ball at one point. The fans were rowdy, but we expected that after what we saw in Tucson last weekend (in an exhibition against the White Sox at Tucson Electric Park).

Karim Garcia

I wanted to get a good drive through the whoops section, but I missed one of them (whoops) and crashed. But I rebuilt myself after the crash and I can't believe I made it to the podium. These guys are making me work hard and we have to be up here (on podium) every weekend.

Ricky Carmichael

We talked about it, and it puts us over .500 anyway. The kids have played well this weekend, and I really feel like they've turned the corner.

Dougray Scott

We planned on stopping (subscriptions) on the Monday after opening weekend, ... But we shut it off on Aug. 23. We are at 62 percent. That's insane - it's unheard of for us.

Peter Russell

During the summer months, email recipients are most likely spending the weekend outdoors away from their computers. In the winter, subscribers may spend more time indoors catching up on email and/or preparing for the week ahead.

Morgan Stewart

Britney went into early labor contractions over the weekend and she was in a lot of discomfort and pain, so I think it was a big relief when she finally had the baby.

Ken Baker

This weekend was a good example of how we need to be able to overcome things. We had to play 10 games in two days, and we had to fight through some things that were difficult.

Dan O'dell

Obviously, the Busch series has gotten so competitive that we pretty much head into each weekend with a top-10 finish in mind, and things have seem to finally have come together for us in the last couple months, especially the last couple of weeks.

Johnny Sauter

We had 10 hits and played very solid defense. It's great to come back and play this way after the losses over the weekend.

Shane Schueneman

It was a pretty good weekend for us. Getting our first conference win was important. Especially missing one of our starters, that was a big boost of confidence for us.

Jody Bronson

It's really difficult to say (if we'll hit Stage 4), but the rainfall that will keep us from going to Stage 4 has not happened yet. The lake didn't go up very much from the rain we had last weekend.

Steve Massey

He's been out just about every weekend this year. In order to compete at the top level, you have to show almost every weekend.

John Kearney

The deal that has been sealed by the Fund this weekend will provide urgently needed money for education and health care.

Max Lawson

If she jumps as well as she did this weekend she may pull it off.

Krystal Mckenzie

This situation is fairly limited in the number of customers who have reported it, but we wanted to make sure people were aware we had guidance on it. We're still keeping an eye out for public exploit code for MS05-051 and have not seen any as yet. We'll be watching through the weekend, so if anything changes that you need to know about we'll update you.

Mike Reavey

Last week was quite a hard introduction for him, but I thought he acquitted himself reasonably well. Obviously it will take him a little while to find his way back around around a rugby field, especially in a standard that high. This weekend will be just as tough and there will be a lot of pressure on him.

Graham Dawe

We dedicated 17 new flags during this President's weekend and the groundbreaking was for the parking lot and landscaping improvements and getting ready for the 50th.

Pastor Michael Birnbaum

Our challenge is to get someone who has never been to the festival to buy a ticket for a show that they haven't been to before, artists that they don't know. But that's our reputation now. People hadn't heard of Todd Snider before we brought him here and the people who keep coming expect that. They will find something new that they loved by the time the weekend is over.

Charlie Tucker

He was at 49 feet last year. He should be able to eclipse the 50 mark next weekend. He's a junior.

Stan Coburn

I think the best part of the weekend was that a lot of different people got some excellent match play. It was another indication that our depth will be a great strength for us this year.

Michael Hegarty

We are anticipating a wind and dry lightning event this weekend. So, we're gearing up for that.

Tom Efird

I think going to Mankato this weekend, we have to play 120 minutes. We're going to have to play disciplined and we're going to have to do the little things well. I think if we do that, obviously as coaches and players we'll be pleased, and I think we'll end up seeing the results we want to see.

Jackie Barto

Labor Day weekend is not as important from an economic standpoint as it used to be.

Lee Sentell

After last weekend, we have to believe. The only kids that have to believe are the 10 on that bench.

Annie Troyan

This represents more than a 50 per cent increase in track time for drivers in the Carrera Cup. Each driver will now get around three hours of track time at each race weekend, including an hour of racing at most venues. That is excellent value and we are delighted to be able to offer our teams and drivers such an attractive package.

Marion Barnaby

With hundreds of workers that we have in the building working daily almost around the clock, we'll have the building ready for public experience come the weekend of the 19.

Mike Fox

We're hoping this will be one of our bigger shows. It's the first time we've done a showing that goes for the whole weekend.

Nate Dauphinais

Look at the number of teams in finals this weekend. That says a lot for our conference. Every night, we were in a tough game. There are some good teams ... every night was a battle.

Gervais Barger

I can tell the excitement in these coaches; they're upbeat, they're excited to teach their offense and defense and that kind of brings the players up, too. Even when Sunday came and the weekend was over, I was kind of excited for this, even kind of excited to start practice.

Mark Fenton

I was still a little rusty coming back from break in yesterday's game. I felt a lot sharper tonight because I played yesterday. Our team defense was just phenomenal this weekend and we just need to keep getting better as a team.

Joe Fallon

We believe we have a very good chance of winning this weekend. What's important to me is that the many thousands of Scots' fans traveling to Dublin do so not just in hope but with a genuine expectation of us doing something special again.

Frank Hadden

I was pleased on how well the girls came out and played this weekend. I think it will prepare us for the upcoming week as we get our regular season started with East Juniata.

John Stiver

We continued to play well. We got in some very good work this weekend, and scored a Patriot League win over Colgate. We got our hat trick this weekend and felt we played well doing it.

Craig Dawson

Our concern is a tropical wave that has been sitting over Jamaica for the past few days and headed in our direction and will continue to bring rain for Central Florida for the next couple of days. As a matter of fact, even into the weekend, possibly.

Jerry Steffen

I took a week off last weekend. This weekend I need to make sure I'm back in race shape and back to my most competitive level.

Laclaire Carter

Supply can never keep pace with demand at this particular weekend.

Jim Mccann

[The Bruins improved to 3-0 overall with an impressive 25-22, 25-21, 25-19 victory over one of the better Humboldt-Del Norte League Big-5 volleyball teams ? Arcata.] We didn't play so well over the weekend at the South Umpqua Tournament, ... So, I feel good about the way they played tonight.

Lori Cooper

With the other batters stepping up, it's allowing for everybody to get good pitches, and [our opponents] are not pitching around people. It's also good knowing that if I'm struggling this weekend, the other hitters in the lineup can pick me up. That's a good feeling.

Kristen Butler

If it's 45 and cloudy, the wind doesn't dry it as fast as you'd like. We need some warm days. But it could have been worse. If we would have had that two inches fall at once or if we would have had a downpour or two to go with the rain we had this weekend, we'd be looking at some real problems.

Steve Helm

They've been out here every weekend working.

Karen Carney

We're looking forward to the weekend -- it should be fun. I think we're all looking forward to great competition.

Gary Webb

I'll be having people work every weekend and one of their prime duties will be these parking tickets, ... You know how (Mayor) Jay (Arend) feels about this kind of stuff.

Gary Price

A fan that's looking for an economic weekend of entertainment can still go watch racing, get a good ticket and enjoy themselves.

Mike Smith

They played as a team very well today. We didn't have a very good weekend. But even though we lost our games this weekend, they were able to move the ball up until finishing time. That's where we fell flat.

Paul Peterson

I guess it's a pretty big weekend for both of us. I'm preparing for another big step in my career at Texas. Tiger is looking to place himself in the record books again. I'm sure we're both excited for different reasons.

David Gilliland

It's not nearly as bad as it was over the weekend.

Carolyn Fennell

It's so special for me to be an Irishman on this day. I'm a first generation Irish American, my mother came from Ireland. Today and this weekend is a very special time for me and my family.

Sean Hennessey

We had a good opener last week, and this weekend will be a continuation of that. I think the girls are ready to have some even bigger performances, and people who are close to qualifying times can get over the hump.

Angela Goodman

Awesome. They worked ahead all weekend and that's exactly what we need them to do.

Holly Van Vlymen

I've been to the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee, and we were delighted that things worked out so we could be here this weekend.

Jim Rhodes

Three state champion and seven medalists, we're pretty blessed. We had a great weekend and I'm not sure what else I can say about it.

Lewie Benitz

This past weekend I was proud to take part in the commemoration of the World War II Memorial and salute the Greatest Generation. And I am proud to have the opportunity to honor and celebrate the service and sacrifices of Americans who took part in D-Day. Their efforts that day will forever stand as a defining moment in history.

Lane Evans

We won't take them for granted. This will be a very tough set of games on the road. They're very physical. Already it's been like playoff-level hockey, and this [weekend] is going to continue that.

Joe Battista

I was excited to get Division 1 offers from the military academies, Tulsa, Arkansas State and Louisiana Monroe. I was content with playing on that level. Then, this weekend was just more icing on the cake. Miami called and that was a great experience.

Daniel Stegall

We played much better than we did last week. Maybe it was the long weekend we had that gave us some rest. But it won't get any easier for us.

Terri Hunt

It's a good way to start the weekend. I'm real happy for the seniors. Everybody in the lineup fought hard tonight.

Pat Santoro

The freshmen played well. The most impressive players this weekend were Brooke and Randi doing their thing.

Mat Iandolo

With Dario racing the same weekend, that's a huge thing for me. He's my best friend and I go to his races any time I can, and vice-versa for him, so it's just perfect. He helped me out the first time I went to Homestead. Even though we're running different track configurations, he knows the road course from testing.

Marino Franchitti

We're going to represent Macomb County well. This won't be a weekend getaway.

Jim Morisette

It was certainly a very special weekend for me.

Tom Stone

The way it schedules out, every other weekend is a three-day weekend and every two weeks, you have daytime hours.

Ginger Scalet

We gave a lot of guys work today because it's been a week since we've played. We wanted them to pitch a couple of innings with the conference coming this weekend. We're going to use multiple pitchers on Thursday again too.

Jim Jarrett

If you're within a couple of the lead going into the weekend, that's where you want to be.

Natalie Gulbis

I'm real happy for the way they ran and they improved by six seconds from their times the previous week. We'll run faster this weekend and our goal for them is to drop another four seconds.

Mike Stevenson

We played great overall this weekend. We played our game offensively and defensively, and that's what we need to do to keep on winning.

Meagan Denny

We need to continue that against Inverness this weekend and then in February because it is going to be a massive month. We are playing well at the moment and it's fantastic that all the strikers are enjoying good form.

Thomas Buffel

Our objectives during the spring season are quite different than during our fall championship campaign. We are focused on helping each player improve her game and trying some new things. I felt we were successful on both counts last weekend.

Rich Manning

They're very sound fundamentally. They'll be a very, very good club. If we think because we beat Alabama and Alabama beat them that we're going to win that series then we're going to be in for a long weekend.

Joe Hudak

I don't know where this report came from, but he has a strained foot. We're going to progress him over the course of the next couple days and see how he feels this weekend.

Mark Mann

I thought Wade played great for us, as he has all year. Defensively, I was happy with the entire weekend.

Randy Honkomp

Overall, today was a good day for UNLV vs. some great competition. We also saw some things we need to work on and we look forward to the rest of the weekend.

Kevin Cory

We learned this weekend that you have to be consistent by doing the little things and focusing on the process. This year has been like a ride on a roller coaster, and it's important for us to be consistent and better every inning.

Terri Laux

I think Ashley was probably the only one who played up to her capabilities. She played great D (defense) and kept us in the game. She had played well last weekend so I was close to putting her back in the position. I probably should have done it earlier. She'll be in that position tomorrow (tonight).

Dave Shoji

That was a gritty win. After a long weekend and with two starters out, they could have gone through the motions. But they didn't, and this is something that we can build on.

Josh Bloomer

The teams we play this weekend will be stronger. Hopefully with all this behind us we are going to play some good golf.

Roseann Schwartz

In the interim, we'll probably change our lines around a little bit. There's no way we're going to replace him over the weekend. How we replace him, we're unsure at this time. We don't know if maybe we can get somebody who's in Europe now and wants to come back (to North America), or maybe we make a trade to acquire an offensive forward.

David Franke

The race for that final playoff spot is extremely close this year. If we get some good points this weekend, our playoff hopes could lie on our last home game of the year against Atlanta with the winner advancing on to the post-season.

Buzz Lagos

Seeing all of them takes a serious amount of time. I try to look at all of them every day, but if you take the weekend off, you're a few hundred images behind.

Justin Maki

We've got to throw the freshmen into the fire because they're going to be very good before it's over. I know they're our future on the mound and they're only going to get better by going out against good people in a regional-type atmosphere like we'll see this weekend.

Wade Simoneaux

I struck the ball well all weekend, but after those bad breaks things just snowballed on me.

Michael Todd

It's been about two years, and I still go out for Mexican food with my friends on the weekend, I still eat chocolate, I just exercise to allow for those things.

Sonya Sample

It's definitely great to get two wins going into a big weekend. The wins have given us momentum going into this. We just have to hit hard, pitch well and hope for the best.

Matt Fealey

We got the debris out this weekend -- all we could haul -- and had a cookout. We've got a lot of great members.

Mike Riser

Ricky really found something that last day, it was a simple change, but it made a huge difference in the way I could get through the corner and get back on the gas. Texas is a totally different track than Richmond, but I think that same adjustment might help us here this weekend. I'm ready to get back to racing.

Tim Sauter

They swung the bats, played a good game and we played like crap. So that's what 11-2 equals. Give them credit they pitched well all weekend.

Mike Florak

I have been waiting for my work in the lab to affect my job on the weekend, when I practice as a child psychiatrist. It hasn't happened. In this field, every year you hear, 'Oh, it's more complicated than we thought.' Well, you hear that for 10 years, and you start to see a pattern.

Jay Giedd

Consumers have spent the weekend with their family and they've been in the stores. They now have a holiday list going. And today is the first day that people are back at work in front of their computers.

Heather Dougherty

Guild Wars was a huge success in Europe, topping charts all across the continent. The success of the weekend shows that many of those players are still very much active and eager to experience the next campaign in this ground-breaking series.

Max Brown

Honestly, [the NBA] would love to place a lot more on him this weekend.

Aaron Goodwin

It's definitely a different team than what we saw a couple of weeks ago. Then, add in the aspect of the playoffs; it's a new season for everybody. It's a big task at hand. By no means will this be an easy weekend for us.

Chris Harrington

You can't put the green No. 11 car on the pole and expect to pass him on most nights. But we had a good rebound after the (poor) weekend we had at the Knoxville Nationals.

Jason Meyers

On a Halloween weekend, the French Quarter would be packed.

John Dunn

This is a holiday weekend where people have marked off some time and set aside money for vacation. A few more bucks at the pump aren't going to dissuade them.

Michael Geeser

I think everybody was ready to play. You know (the weather) is going to be like this all weekend. So you go out and play.

Jedidiah Stephen

For the most part, spending continued steadily throughout the weekend.

William Ford

We talked about that after the game. Our approach ... I think we got ourselves out early in counts. Guys are a little tired. We had a busy weekend.

Shaun Neitzel

If it happens to rain this weekend, like we're promised it will, it will have a bigger effect on people holding on to their cattle so to speak, and selling them at a later time when they weigh more. They're kind of forced to sell them now, because they don't have anything for them to eat.

Ronnie Beck

It's looking like a good weekend for skiing and riding. We've got a bunch of storms lined up. The real good news is that (the storms) are setting us up for an awesome New Year.

Russ Pecoraro

It's different people at different time for us. Everybody steps up for us. It truly was a team effort all weekend.

Brenda Pena

We learned our lesson last year about getting out faster and we got trapped in the back, playing catch-up the entire time. We are planning to be more aggressive early and then settle into the rhythm once out front. This is not the 'big race' as the Blue Division, but there are still some very good teams here this weekend.

Rick Williamson

We're looking forward to that. Hopefully after last weekend, the kids will understand the importance of team play as opposed to individual play–playing your position and taking your runs.

Keith Miller

It gave us a lot of confidence. We played against one of the best teams in the nation and this will give us a lot of confidence going into next weekend.

Lauren Hines

There was a 16-year-old arrested which was really unfortunate, but it was not what we expected for a holiday weekend.

Capt. Allan Elkins

I enjoyed it for the weekend. ... The school was real excited because last year they only had one win, and we got our first win in the first game. But after that, it had to disappear, because this is a huge game coming up. So I can't celebrate it too long.

Tommy Reamon Jr

Having five classrooms in there will allow us to offer perhaps after school programs for children, evening programs and weekend programs for both adults and children.

Gregg Cook

Some districts have already started school, and also the record-high gas prices ... have sort of affected travel for this holiday weekend.

Cynthia Harris

We felt like we put in a really solid first 1000 meters and an especially fast start. We will be training hard this upcoming week to execute a complete 2000 meters this weekend against Radcliffe.

Nicole Larrea

A win this weekend would really help the team's confidence. It would reaffirm in their own minds that they are among the best, not just in the conference but out of conference as well.
