We see this as a test of their ability to face reality.

We knew this would be a critical event for us.

In any open society, there is going to be a continuum between freedom and security, and I think any debate about how to strike that balance is a good debate, … I do believe the...

They really forced the issue and made it happen. The seniors willed us to win.

We had people at the luau tell us this initiative was long overdue.

There were those saying they had difficulty acclimating themselves to the community. With this first event they already feel more comfortable.

The banks are expensive compared to the rest of the local market and they’re expensive compared with overseas banks.

It’s a combination of customers demanding price concessions at the same time materials costs are abnormally high. The same customers that are demanding price concessions are sending them less volume.

Our prayer has been from day one that other towns can see that we can do this.

It’s a step forward in the culture of Ford. Whether it translates into increased profits remains to be seen.

They all hit it a mile. It’s not that unusual to see a kid hit it 350 yards. It’s just crazy how far they hit it.

It’s been a long time coming and I’m glad the school put financial resources up to do this. We also appreciate what Mr. Krause so generously donated. Without his generous donation, I don’t think we...

We’ve had a good season. The seniors have led us and I have a number of freshman and sophomores on the team who are equally contributing.

I watched the game and decided I’d get here as soon as possible.

It does have some ability to create incremental value by getting to non-GM customers and dealers.

A lot of people never see themselves running. Most of us know what good running form is when we see it.

Brian, will you wake the hell up?

Can they defend market share? Can they get early retirements to match the pace of plant closings?

He had 18 defensive rebounds. We didn’t do a good job of getting any offensive rebounds. Our lack of getting second-chance points was huge.

Ford should get a bounce from restructuring, assuming it gets a deal with the UAW to close several plants. It also has some good cars coming out, but declines are likely in SUVs.

Banks are sacrificing margins to win volume. At some point, interest rates will move up and loan losses will rise because banks are under-pricing risk.

It’s probably within the range of things that UAW and GM lawyers anticipated and could explain why they were working towards an April settlement rather than an earlier one.

It’s awesome to have an 18-game winning streak, but you can’t dwell on that because that’s how you get beat. We just go out and prepare each week and play hard and if we do...

I heard dogs barking and calves hollering. One of the dogs was at least part pit bull.

The biggest thing was last time they tore off their jerseys and gave us some ammunition.

In those times, even the good people watched the lynching, there won’t be change until the good people do something. Who will take charge now, who is committed today?

This is really a Palm issue. In the process of spinning off Palm we sorted out liability issues.

It doesn’t materially change their earnings power.

I think the result will be you’ll have a shareholder activist with a significant but not controlling interest who will lobby for a restructuring. For the first time, we could have someone who could look...

We shot horribly from the field.

We had no other choice. There’s good people in the world. This really is all we have. We have friends here. We have our lives here.

The main thing (about the organization) is to enjoy motorcycles, … and have a good relationship with the community.

The reason you are seeing banks refocus back on distribution is because that is the only competitive advantage they have over new players.

Our timing is still late September, early October. We weren’t expecting a labor deal by Labor Day.

Typically private clubs around the country are struggling a bit, and we just wanted to be progressive about it. With all the growth Downtown and the new condos, we just want to make sure they’ve...

The key question I have is … is this more than slogans and broad actions?

It’s all stainless steel, which is high-end work.

He’s really a class act. Chris is the type of guy you want to market in this league. He’s a great player on the field as much as he is a great guy off the...

That’s huge. Now we’re in the thick of the race, … There’s so much parity in this conference, it would be hard for a team to sweep right through it like we did last year.

He’s a man amongst boys.

I brought a cooler, comforter, pillow and snacks, … I watched the game last night, and decided I’d get here as soon as possible. It’s been 12 years since we’ve been in the playoffs, and...

All I really wanted to do when I came here was to get back to the way I used to be. I’m getting there. I’m still not able to do what I used to do,...

We actually have turned work away on ethanol. Right now, we have a workload that takes us out to next summer . . . and that’s just with ethanol.

You give him a job and he’s going to do it.

We slowed down our own little press a little bit and made it a more controlled press to speed them up.

The auto industry is a relatively unattractive place to allocate capital. So the bottom line is, if you’re running a business that can span two or three industrial sectors, there are more attractive sectors to...

The combination of double-digit housing loan growth and above average business loan growth supports St.George’s earnings outlook.

You need to lean forward, from the ankles more. It’s like you’re running with your brakes on.

I think his work ethic is unmatched. When he first came into the league he was more of a winger who would just get forward, get forward and get forward, and never come back. I...

We didn’t deserve to win this game tonight.
