I expected us to be top five but when they announced third, I was shocked. We had some good swims, especially in the 200-yard medley relay. I was just glad to be there and see it happen.

Dylan Evans

I just can't do that. I committed the foul and the ball gets put at the 1-yard line. Whatever it is that I did, I can't do it in the future.

Asante Samuel

I think he was really tired in his brain, but he just kept jumping. Our moment at the water probably looked worse than it was as it was very slow so I had a chance to stay in the plate. I blame myself as he was entitled to be green at what is a new question for him, but I maybe didn't give him the best possible chance. He's definitely earned his place on the yard though!

Pippa Funnell

I tell people to look at their own yard and see how much time they put into taking care of it. Now look at that in comparison to a 100-yard football field.

Mike Favero

These days, acts of racism are furtive. And, all too often, they happen in our own back yard.

John Jordan

He lined up out of position. That means instead of being two yards from the ball carrier, you might be seven, and then what should be an easy tackle near the line becomes an attempted tackle in the open field, and a 2-yard gain turns into 10.

Kirk Hoza

I was kind of by the 18-yard box. Mandy sent a really good ball to me, but I couldn't go with it. So I settled and turned. I saw an opening and took a shot.

Ally Stroup

[Yard was] fabulous. She had a really good game. I think we, me included, have a good combination here. You have to stay with what wins for you.

Pat Willis

We were ready. We kicked off well and covered the kickoffs extremely well. We got them behind the 24-yard line every time on kickoffs. We were ready, but their talent took off.

Ken Hatfield

(I was) trying to win the game. Taking our chances from the five-yard line, I thought that was the better chance.

Don Matthews

It's a lumber yard in the heart of downtown, ... It's getting difficult.

Mike Parker

Obviously, this wouldn't work in power sports like football or basketball, or even with golf with 600-yard, par-5s, but it works in bowling where the pins aren't male or female and the bowlers throw 15 pounds.

Liz Johnson

Since Day One this program has been built on defense. I don't care if it's on the inch-yard line, we're going to stop them.

Terrence Royal

Talon was huge. He'd go for 2- and 3-yard runs, then he'd break some long ones. Our offense held onto the ball for a long time in the second half. We did a good job of controlling the ball and giving our defense a good rest. We only gave up 85 yards rushing.

Todd Schumacher

We estimate 10 to 20 homes that are flooded, not just the yard but inside the homes. We anticipate finding more flooded homes.

Ed Teixeira

Do not quit! Hundreds of times I have watched people throw in the towel at the one-yard line while someone else comes along and makes a fortune by just going that extra yard.

E. Joseph Cossman

We had yard sales, we asked for donations. We did a kite festival.

Zach Link

They tore the covers off our antique cars and our classic cars because I'm sure there was a cat on top. I am furious and I don't care who knows it. If they come in my yard, I'm going to blow their heads off and I'll fight you all the way to federal court.

Evelyn Hester

The church in the book (and movie) plays a pivotal scene. We looked everywhere ... I mean everywhere! We had to have enough of a front yard area to house a Nativity scenes. And we finally found it ... two miles from our office. And we had been all over Tulsa looking. We were looking in places in Texas, everywhere! And I was in the car with the director and we drove by (the church).

Eric Newman

This is a great event for our area as well as the rest of the country. It's just great that we have something like this in our own back yard.

Erin Ferguson

If you can imagine walking out your back door -- and where you ordinarily see somebody's yard, kids playing and houses and the streets and all that stuff -- what you would most likely have seen is a pile in which your neighbors where at that very moment being incinerated.

Erik Larson

Ryan Hubbard also made a big defensive play for us. We had a little bit of blown pass coverage and Hubbard came flying over to knock a pass away that could have been about a 40-yard gain for them in the first half.

Eric Trudo

We're ready. We got the sandbags. We dug a trench all around the back yard and we barricaded.

Elton Kaahu

I'm scared that it is going to go down here. I'm scared that we're going to have a jail in our front yard.

Elizabeth White

While many of our cast members are sports types, none of them had real, recent baseball experience. RLT is lucky to have one of the most-winning baseball coaches in our own back yard, Tom Woodruff, and we appreciate Coach Woodruff giving his time and talent to our production.

Fred Mcclure

I was sitting at my computer when I heard three gunshots. I saw our dogs run across the yard and saw the bloody spots. I couldn't tell which one was shot because all of them were screaming and barking.
