We got swept (at San Diego) earlier in the year and we weren't going to let that happen again. There were things that went differently this weekend, but I think Austin did a good job of staying in there.

There have been a number of firms in the 50,000- to 100,000-square-foot range that are seeking office space in the Loop 360 corridor, and the largest block of (existing) space in Southwest Austin is 40,000 square feet.

We did a great job down the stretch shooting free throws. What can you say about Trey Wright. He is a junior who weighs only about 110 pounds, but we put him in to shoot free throws and he made two great free throws. Austin Fox and Dannon hit two big ones as well.

Bright Eyes was our first general admission show, and we won't do that again, ... We had lines down the street around the block. We were getting calls from the Stephen F. Austin (Inter-Continental Hotel). So we opened the lobby early and people were in tears because they couldn't rush to the front to get good seats.

I spent time in Odessa with the Permian Panthers and here with the Westlake Chaparrals, and that really hooked me. Every Friday I flew from L.A. to Austin to see a high-school football game. My friends thought I was crazy, but it really got into my blood and transcended sport.

I've never seen an operation that was more coordinated, fewer arguments and disagreements between Austin and New Hampshire,

I've said our goal is either the regional tournament or Austin. They always ask to play an out-of-town tournament. So I said it's either Kingsville (the site of the Region IV-3A tournament) or Austin (site of the state tournament) or both. It's up to them.

I've played a baby panda bear to a gorilla to an alien, but Austin Powers 2 is definitely my biggest role ever. Hopefully, it's not my last!

It was a huge hole that Greg Austin set up for me. It was there. There wasn't anything crazy I had to do other than run.

Teachers in Austin put 15 percent of their take-home pay into pension. If you're at year 30 (with the district), that's great. But 40 percent of our teachers have five years of experience. They're wondering, 'Can I ever afford a mortgage?' It's time to address the increasing cost of living in Austin.

Sam Matlock , he's a good rider. Austin Myers ... A.J. Hall ... there's a bunch of good hands coming here.

People can go, literally, from Manor to downtown Austin without stopping.

The most incredible thing about Austin is how far been his attitude and work ethic have come. I'm really proud of the way he's taken on the leadership role.

Development has accelerated in that part of the region over the last few years largely due to the increasing traffic congestion on the north side of Austin. In many instances you can buy essentially the same home in South Austin or in Hays County that you would in Williamson County, and if you are working downtown, your commute time would be half as long.

Austin wrestled that guy once before and it was a very similar match. He was up 1-0 in the third and he turned him and pinned him.

Austin walked seven in two innings last week at Geneva, so he really bounced back.

Austin turned out to be a blessing. He can shoot the 3, create his own shot off the dribble and is in great condition. He has been in a lot of big situations in tennis that has helped him in basketball. Nothing bothers him.

Austin Turk did an outstanding job on the mound. He kept the Andrew hitters off balance.

Austin threw a great game and what can I say it was clutch hitting. Andy worked on some stuff in the cage and was swinging well in batting practice today. He got a hold of a couple today. I'm happy for him.

Austin really came up big for us tonight. He made some very big buckets for a rookie.

Austin pitched well for us. The thing is teams are going to get hits against our pitchers and we have to play better defense.

Austin needed a game like that. He had lacked a little confidence ... we gotta get Scott in the game.

Austin Meier has to be one of the smartest, toughest fourth-quarter players in the state. He just makes play after play down the stretch. His decision-making and timeliness on big plays on both ends have been lifesaving for us.

Austin is what I love in a player. He is very determined. He can play both guard spots and does a great job defensively on and off the ball.

Austin is very good compared to the others. The talent is very good there, which is why we keep coming back.

Austin is the most swinging of towns, this is one of the greatest audiences we've ever had.

Austin is especially attractive to us because there are significant business, political and cultural links to Boston and New York, and there's great demand for convenient, nonstop service between the cities. And communities in Central Texas (such as) San Antonio and Fredericksburg can benefit from additional service to and from Austin's Bergstrom airport.

Austin is a two-way guy with great versatility. He possesses a great knuckleball.

Austin has headliners like Dell, Motorola and UT that would benefit greatly from nonstop service to New York and Boston. Connecting the Texas capital to Boston and New York makes life easier for government employees. (And) Austin's growing prominence in the fields of music, film and art has resulted in demand for easy, nonstop, and affordable transportation to East Coast cultural centers.

Austin has been in the business about 18 years and he was on top for four. I wrestled main events for 25 years. I could pull my dick out and I might be on top for four years - it's called 'cheap heat.' Somebody who stays on top 25 years has to have more than that. It has to be in your spirit.

Austin has a future ahead of him at Penn State.

Austin happens to be one of my favorite places to be. I'm really looking forward to being in Austin for a few days. And I really like that John Mackey.

Austin had a great week of practice, and I thought his athleticism and jumping ability would help us on the boards.

Austin established his inside fastball and then could work the softer stuff away. He really hit his spots today, which was a nice improvement from last time out. It is good to see him get better each time he throws.

Austin Dunn did a phenomenal job defensively on Troyer. We just said it was pretty much man on man, and 'Austin, we'll help you when we can.' But we didn't really give him a lot of help. He was just on lock-down mode.

Austin and Justin pitched pretty well. Austin did walk a couple batters and hit a couple. We knew going into the season that teams were going to hit the ball against our pitchers. We have to make plays defensively. We didn't do that.

Austin always had that dumb old hat on. I always wished he'd get a new one, but he kept the old one. I don't know if it was a good luck charm or what.

(Athletic Director and head basketball) coach (Dave) Loos did a really fabulous job working that first game out for us. He spent a lot of time on the phone trying to make it work for Austin Peay. I've very appreciative of that. We're going to be able to have a home game in our transition year in the opener here at Governors Stadium and it just comes form his hard work. How we'll play, we'll know on the second (of September). But I know, we're excited about the opportunity." ()

The whole Austin area is very supportive and giving.

This charter amendment will bring Austin to the forefront of a national movement for accessible, online government and participatory democracy.

This will save you time and the city money.

This building will democratize dance by making it physically and financially accessible to all of Austin up to six days every week, instead of only five weekends a year. It will transform Ballet Austin and be the first anchor of the new downtown arts and entertainment district.

All of our games with Austin have been really close. But we've been working really hard conditioning-wise and we're physically in good shape. We've got our full team back after some injuries and the girls feel confident right now.

There were many tie votes in the Texas House in 2005 on critical education bills, so a new Austin legislator could be the tiebreaker. We need a lawmaker who will consistently be on the side of public school parents and PTA leaders. Austin's new leader should have the courage to stand with parents and not succumb to pressure by power brokers promoting ideological education agendas.

This is what Austin is all about. A shop behind another cool shop behind another shop.

At Dell, we're on a mission to find, hire and develop diverse talent. Thurmond has galvanized our internal belief that to be a successful company and a great place to work, Dell must leverage the similarities and differences of employees.

It's about a cluster of Hispanics in south Austin and a cluster on the border and a bunch of empty districts joining them all together. The court has said that is suspect.

I told our guys I wanted them to do two things: play hard and be tough. We've had a tendency to let people get after us on the road but tonight we answered. As a coaching staff, we challenged Jimmy to play hard and he responded. I thought Austin Ainge also came in and got us going after we got off to a rough start. In order for us to be successful, we need Jimmy and others to be consistent like he was tonight.

It ought to be showing off Austin as arising in film making.

It's really tough. I will always think of myself as a Lady Gov. I love it here at Austin Peay, and if I had to do it all over again, I would do it the same way. That's how this program is built, by people staying and believing and sticking with it.

Dallas Simpson came off the bench and played well, as did Austin Tucker.

Dallas and Austin have the poorest rich kids on the block." ()

It seemed like we were playing in mud tonight. Unfortunately, the young guys that we rely are used to playing on Tuesday and Friday in high school and just could not find it. Give Stephen F. Austin the credit - they made the plays when they had to.

They both know and respect each other a lot. Bullins is Mr. Wrestling in North Carolina and I know a lot of people, including myself, are happy for his accomplishments. Austin has a great opportunity if he reaches the finals. If you want to be a champion, then I think it'd be great to say you beat the very best. And Bullins is that guy.

Not only can you tell your friends about it, but you can rate it, review it, give it a star rating, put it onto our database, and other people in Austin might want to find where the best places to run or cycle.

It's really a credit to (senior) Austin Stiles because he was kind of the one displaced by Matt. You would think some kids would have become bitter, but Austin is one of the most positive people you'll ever meet. He saw Matt as a benefit to the team.

In March, I visited the (World Wide Technology) facility in Austin (Texas) during our Piedmont Triad Partnership mission to call on Dell suppliers, ... Their operations are impressive. As we learned there, WWT warehouses products from more than 50 other suppliers to get those items to Dell as needed.

In Austin we signed up 50,000 check-cashing clients, ... That's proof of concept. People with and without bank accounts responded favorably. We thought we'd be targeting the under-banked or the un-banked, but we found that even those with bank accounts like the convenience.

I'm pleased to report to all the investors that after two years, Opportunity Austin is on track for success. We are becoming the envy of other cities across the nation, but we can't let up.

I have no doubt that President George W. Bush - a man, in my experience, of extremely kind and generous instincts, and back in Austin even a rescuer of stray animals - would be appalled by the conditions of a typical American factory farm or packing plant.

I had met Arthur in the 60's when I was with the Mothers and had become good friends. He had moved to Austin because his wife was from there.

I'm not sure Ohio State will be able to shut down Vince Young, and not just running the ball. In watching him, he is an improved thrower of the football. Some of the wide receivers will have to step up and give him a target. The people in Austin are spoiled because of players like Roy Williams, but there is a lot of talent there.

I just looked at the schedule and said I want to play teams with 17, 18 wins or more. I tried to do that last year, too. But I thought Austin Peay and East Tennessee State would be 18-win teams, and they didn't come close.

I really think five years from now people will be talking about Baton Rouge the way they talked about Austin (Texas) five years ago.

I really started playing golf seriously here in Austin at this club and that's been 38 years ago.

In 2012, the city of Austin erected an eight-foot-tall bronze statue of Willie Nelson in the heart of the business district. Schoolchildren, churchgoers, tourists, slackers, conventioneers, tech geeks - everybody, it seems - now congregate around this ponytailed shrine to outlaw country.

Being a father of three young girls, I read the Austin article and instantly thought of what I could do for his family. It was not an option not to get involved.

Hopefully, we'll get to hit tomorrow evening in Austin when we get in and a little bit Saturday morning before the match, so it won't be a difficult adjustment outdoors. At least, I hope it won't.

I don't think there was any way it was going to change. There's too much history to this district for the people in Austin to just tear it down.

Heather Graham did pretty well after Austin Powers, so I think this business, whether it's good or bad, if a movie does well, you have options.

He operates out of a playbook from the '70s. Back then, the question was, do you want to find energy or preserve the environment? Well, that's not where the debate is today. Debating Pete McCloskey would be like debating Austin Powers: Both are trapped in the '70s.

Sentences are not as such either true or false.
