difficult games opposed regular three win
(The regular season) is 16 games over two or three months, as opposed to three games over one weekend. It's more difficult to win the regular season.
backing counter instead runs soft
It was a sensational day for us. When they made their runs we were able to counter instead of being soft and backing off and being tentative.
counteract game hoping speed strength
It was a game where I was hoping our speed would counteract some of their strength. But we weren't able to do that.
builds great stepping
a big stepping stone... builds our confidence. It was a great win, and something we can build on.
freshmen gained health michael nearly rest tyler
It was really frustrating because I think the freshmen particularly could have gained so, so much. For example, I think Tyler and Michael did. But the rest of them didn't gain nearly as much as they could have because of the health situation.
survive trying
Survive and advance. That's what we're trying to do.
broadcast grew market total
As of the end of 2005, in total broadcast revenues, the market only grew 3.8 percent.
attitude battles extremely freshman freshmen great hard works
(Hansbrough) is very focused. He works extremely hard. He battles as hard as any freshman I have ever been around. Ever. ... You usually don't find freshmen with that kind of attitude and work ethic. That's a great quality.
dreaming help hoped hoping stop
I hoped that we would really play well, I hoped we would really play hard, and I hoped that would help us be very successful. But there's still a lot out there. We're hoping and dreaming that we won't stop right now.
blaze faster moss proper saw taken
I saw Moss blaze down the seam, ... I wasn't able to take the right position. I should have read it faster and taken the proper angle. I take all the blame.

I didn't really think he was gonna throw the ball, ... My eyes lit up and the rest is history.
customers disaster expect initially people
Initially we expect more inbound customers than outbound as people come back in and participate in disaster recovery.
believed best country hope played team unless win
I am confident, and I hope it isn't cockiness, but I told them that I thought we were the only team in the country that could come in here and win this game. I believed that we could if we played. We couldn't come in here and win unless we played our best game.
beaten people
They would have beaten y'all's butt, ... but they're not going to beat a lot of other people in our league.
