We went in and came out without a victory. We wanted to focus on doing all the little things we didn't do. Play hard. Play as a team. Play for each other.

Since the U.S. election ended with the expected Bush victory, the market's focus has moved to U.S. corporate earnings and monetary policy there.

That was a tough victory against a tough team. A big win is what we needed to get some momentum.

I think what you want to do is also focus on companies that are making the transition from old economy to new economy because they have 'old-economy' valuations, but are really joining the new economy and should have 'new economy' valuations.

The focus should be on us trying to get a victory. We're trying to get to 1-2. We let two games slip. I don't care who's back there, if I get an opportunity to sack the quarterback, I'm going to sack the quarterback.

Our focus for these games has been to play four quarters of intense, Western defense. Our biggest thing was just to help on the ball, help in on the post, and focus on limiting them inside.
