The South African truck market, coming off the back of an outstanding 2005 annual result, has continued to achieve impressive monthly returns in both December and January, notwithstanding the fact that these two months normally deliver the lowest total new vehicle sales volumes of the entire calendar year.

Rhonda Rompola

Our slow start in the first half hurt us. We dug ourselves a hole against a very, very good team.

Wayne Grant

Ryan Crawford

Our entire front row is (6-foot-2 or taller), and we put up a huge block against everybody. Most of the time when we block right, they're not going to be able to get it over with authority.

People are unhappy about it, Republicans and Democrats. They all realize that the Iraqis aren't going to do any fighting until we decide that they're going to take over.

P. Herbert

I volunteered for it; I wanted to help out any way I could. Last year we averaged 4.8 on punt returns and 19.1 on kickoffs. That's horrible. But we have worked hard on it this year, and Johnny and I are ready to go. There are no excuses this year.

The way you measure improvement in a player is different with each guy. When we (managers, organization officials) look at stats we see different things than the average fan.

Mike White

Our defense has played well, but we've got to put the ball in the end zone. We moved the ball well tonight, but we'd get so far and then make a silly mistake. We are a little down after the loss, but our seniors won't let us drop as a team.

We were three players down, and it was our third game in three days. We didn't have the depth to compete with them. Of our eight eligible players, four were freshmen and one was a sophomore.
