We said since Stanford, there's not one post player that can kill us to the point where it will win the game for them. Yes, (Butler) had a good night, but we still came out with the victory.

The big thing that will be lost is daily print competition, and I think competition makes all of us better. It enhances the content quality. It enhances every aspect of the work you do. You know that you need to be better than the day before. I think that adds an edge to your skills. It adds an edge to coverage.

We know that the public would like us to avoid using the approved bonds and we will continue to look at options to see if that is possible.

We believe that a failure to act will move us toward the demise of the dual banking system.

I was in a daze the whole second half. Until I looked at the stat sheet, I didn't know what I did. I just tried to do whatever it took to get the job done. We just had to pick it up. We did not want to go home tonight.

I think we did really well. We struggled a lot this year with keeping the energy up for every event and I think we did a lot better at it. We got the energy all the way to the floor (the last event) and I'm really pleased with that.
