Basketball Quotes
Jack Hayward is a very good team and Catholic High always come prepared to play basketball. There will be a lot of competition but the C.I. Gibson holiday classic is all about getting these kids off the street. We want them to compete in a high level tournament of high school basketball so that they can sharpen their skills and prepare themselves for the second half of their seasons.
-
Ahead Quotes
I think this Classic will be the first where the practice will mean something. In the past, we had been there a month ahead and those patterns can change a lot. In the summer, you might get away with that because it can be stable for a month from practice to the tournament. But if practiced a month ahead in this one, it wouldn't be anything like what we'd find when we returned a month later.

Backed Quotes
(Jimi) was so into it -- if you listen closely you will see that I stayed on him, ... And when he started 'The Star Spangled Banner,' that impromptu thing, you hear the first four, five, or six notes; I'm in there with him. Then I said, 'Wait a minute, we didn't rehearse this, and it doesn't sound too good with me playing.' I backed away, and he continued and made a classic out of that.

Advertising Quotes
Over $2.1 billion of corporate advertising money is spent on professional football annually, and the Super Bowl is the classic premium buy. Corporations are willing to spend $2.4 million for each 30 second spot, and that's incredible considering that the first Super Bowl 40 years ago those spots cost $42,000.

Case Quotes
Our defense was OK, but OK isn't good enough for the NHL, and OK doesn't get you to the playoffs. So it's probably a classic case of possibly taking a step back to take a couple of steps forward. I think if we can just get this younger group the chance to gain some experience, in time they could actually be better than the veteran crew that we had last year. It's a risk, it's definitely a gamble, but we've cleared the deck to get these younger guys a chance.

Continue Quotes
My music is more than me writing a flashy soul song. They're heartfelt songs about my family and true stories. I have also songs that aren't personal, but just painting a picture. I don't like being put under labels, but my music is going to continue to stay classic and timeless forever.

Annual Quotes
My wife was diagnosed with lupus 16 or 17 years ago, and that's how I kinda got involved in it. I just finished my fifth annual Bobby Hatfield Classic Golf Tournament, and happily I can report that we raised over $52,000. Through the years we've raised not only through the golf tournament, but through other charitable concerts, we've raised over $600,000.

Critics And Criticism Quotes
My reservation going into this was that no matter how good it turned out, criticism would soon follow. You can't attempt a rock classic (especially a cult band like the Velvets) and not get a few sneers. But the important thing here is that maybe we might help turn a new generation on to this amazing art rock band and change the perspectives of a few unknowing listeners.

Arts Quotes
My 'Rot & Ruin' series is a post-apocalyptic adventure for teens. My 'Joe Ledger' novels are science-based action thrillers for adults. My 'Dead of Night' stories are zombie tales for adults; my 'Pine Deep Trilogy' is classic horror for adults, and I've written nonfiction books on topics ranging from martial arts to folklore.

Becoming Quotes
Listen to people during intermission or leaving the theater, and you'll hear them relating their own horrific travel stories. The show captures a fun and painful time that is universal. Sadly, today this classic kids-in-the-station-wagon sort of vacation is becoming a thing of the past.

Appealed Quotes
My mother had a great vinyl collection, and she was constantly playing female singer-songwriters. I first learned about classic song structures by listening to them, and Laura Nyro particularly stood out. Her voice was outside what you'd usually hear on the radio; that really appealed to me.

Bands Quotes
I think reuniting original lineups is awesome. Ultimately, that's what people want to see. You know, you see elder statesmen of classic rock doing it whether it be REO SPEEDWAGON or STYX doing it. You know, getting as many of the original members that are still around. You see them doing it, you see metal bands doing it, pop bands DURAN DURAN , everybody's trying to do that. I think what everybody realizes at some point is that if you can make those things work it's really cool. Ultimately, that's what the fans want to see when they go see those bands. They want to relive that piece of their youth or that piece of their life when that band was doing what they do best. So, I think given the right circumstances, those things usually fare pretty well for everybody. And most importantly, the fans are happy about it.

Dropping Quotes
I'm so excited about joining Radio 1, ... When I was a kid I did the classic thing of taping shows off the radio and dropping my own voice in - hopefully this show will be better than that! Most of all, I'm looking forward to talking about music, obsessing about music and playing loads of music.

Blame Quotes
The Americans are at home and we are away. He's had a change of scenery and a change in racing conditions. There's less pressure if he runs in the Classic. If you run him in the Mile, he has to win. If he runs in the Classic and doesn't win, we can blame it on the dirt. All in all, it's very difficult, but it can be done.

Academic Quotes
Most of our kids are aged between 6 and 12, and just need a bit of encouragement to turn reading into an enjoyable activity. We don't need our teens to be in the Academic stream at high school, or to be intellectual over-achievers. They simply need to know how to read, and enjoy being with a younger kid for an hour a week. The time they put in counts towards the Community Service hours they need in order to graduate, so it's a classic win-win situation for any teen who enjoys reading and who's prepared to help a younger child.

Berry Quotes
Miami has been my home since we moved the Nasdaq-100 Open to Key Biscayne in 1987 and I relish the opportunity to support important charitable causes such as the Greater Miami Tennis Foundation through events such as the Jim Berry Tennis Classic and the Robin Givens Night with the Stars.

Allen Quotes
Mel was a classic storyteller and fans just loved his stories about the Yankees. Mel made players like Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra and those great Yankee teams seem larger than life. He became just as famous in New York as any player, ... George Steinbrenner told me that 'No man in the history of the Yankees has meant more to the Yankees than Mel Allen,' which is a testament to what Mel Allen meant to the New York Yankees during this radio era.
-
Advantage Quotes
We just didn't do the job, offensively or defensively. They are a good club, but they certainly aren't 10-0 better than us. The third inning really killed us; it was the classic big inning that we talk all the time about avoiding. When you play good clubs like this, you just can't do that. It just took us out of the game, and then we didn't take any advantage of any of the opportunities that we had after that.

Beach Quotes
The overall tone of the video shows the classic side of Warren: how he built his empire from the streets of Long Beach and expanded it to the world. He is showing everyone that we can have a good time, look good and dress well. It's all about class and treating people right. It's really about the classy style of hip-hop.
