They played hard today, they deserved to win. It's a shame we turned it over there late. I'd like to see what happened there, but they caused a turnover; they didn't quit.

Attendance in some cases isn't what we would like it to be, and when we have extreme cases shame on us if we didn't do anything. I've signed petitions and usually parents fix the problem. We've had cases with up to 30 and 40 absences in a 180- day school year.

It seems a shame that all that will count from this is the stats.

Earlier this year we beat [Ohio State] in women's, and today they took revenge. It's not a shame to lose against such good fencers, but it is a sign that you have to work to be better.

It's a shame that this is happening on the very eve of the first African-American being elected the presiding officer.

The thing just started snowballing, and here we are today with 25 rinks on Lake Calhoun.
