Division Quotations | Page 6

Winning the division title is a significant milestone, and there is a tendency to let off the gas pedal. There isn't really anything left to play for in the standings, so it's a balancing act between getting healthy and rested and still be playing proper hockey when it comes to work habits.

We can't control what the other teams do. One thing that we have going for us, or against us depending how you look at it, is that we're playing teams in our division and teams that are in the wild-card race. We've got the opportunity to make it or break it.

well, Diego left the division and he didn't fight everybody.

We were looking for a lot more out of that division this quarter and that was disappointing. They came in $100 million light from what we were looking for.

We have to state clearly that, according to the results of the ongoing investigation, no referee is involved and no first division club is concerned.

We have to regroup and get ready for tomorrow. More importantly we have to get ready for our division game Monday against Columbus.

We're definitely looking forward to our trip. The guys are excited. It's a nice thing for us to have a chance to play some other (NCAA) Division III schools on this trip. Granted, these teams will all have their 15 to 20 games in while we're just starting out, but we'll be playing teams that we match up with a little bit better compared to the NAIA teams. We're looking forward to a fun trip.

We're definitely going to see where we're at right now. They're the division leaders, so we've got to come in and be prepared to play a hard, tough game.

We're already down one in our division. And now we have another division opponent. We have to go in there and fight. To go down two in the division is tough.

We really were just a couple of plays away from turning that thing around. It wasn't like we played bad at all. I think we were in that game until the end of the fourth quarter. But for the most part we had a lot of positives and a little minor errors we can correct. There's no time better than when we play our division rivals this weekend to get it done.

We really wanted to win this game, it was a big division game for us. I'm excited. This was a good game.

We can't win when our Division I player is 2-for-18. We've got to be able to score the basketball. We want to press, and if you can't press, you can't get easy baskets.

Well, we're just not good enough within the division overall. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are the measuring stick. They're playoff teams you're competing with, and we're not there yet.

When you're in the lower division, you always want to show the guys in the higher division that you can do better than them, so you come out with 110, 120 percent. Here it's kind of different because everyone is on the same level.

We hang in there. It hasn't always been fun. It hasn't always been pretty. But we've answered every challenge. We stayed on top. We deserve to be division champions.

We had four goals when we came out of spring training. Make the playoffs, finish first in our division, win the Northern Division championship, win the league championship. We've got two out of the four. We're halfway there.

We had two runners out there that hadn't played football at the (NCAA) Division I level in a long time, ... One never and the other one hadn't played in two years. So that's probably going to take some live action to get into the flow of things.

We have a huge rivalry with Highland, so the game was real intense with the fans. It was one of the most intense games of the season so far. It was a division game and a physical battle.

You are linked to all the history of our great division and we want you to know how proud we are of your service and the legacy that you and your brothers in arms left for those of us who still serve proudly in the 91st. You have a place in our history, but more importantly you have a place in our hearts.

You are a member of what today is called the Greatest Generation, but I want you to know that another great generation still serves the American people in the 91st. Your division has been mobilized for the Global War on Terrorism since January 2003. We have deployed soldiers to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait.

We have the Department of Corrections, the Department of Public Safety, the Department of Transportation, our emergency management division (and) our Iowa National Guard working with local folks to try to put hundreds of thousands of sandbags in appropriate locations to try to reduce the damage and the impact. ... It's just a race against time.

Today there is a division between those who write about literature and those who create it. I, obviously, don't think that should be there.

To make it a BCS issue devalues the conversation. It is not a BCS subject but an issue for the Division I commissioners to address. It has clearly moved from the back burner to the front.

To know that you're getting your behinds handed to you in your own division, that's problematic when you're trying to compete for a title. On this team, you think in title terms. If you want to win a title, you have to take care of your division as well.

Today's decision represents a very significant victory for the antitrust division on the core claim in the Microsoft case that Microsoft engaged in anticompetitive conduct to preserve its monopoly position in computer operating systems.

Yeah, we're leading the division by 15 games but we go out there and play every game just like it's the last,

We have a whole division devoted to filing these types of cases,

(The Predators) are obviously our primary competition for the division and it was a chance to really open up a bigger gap and make it more difficult for them to catch us. We're more comfortable.

The problems in the credit card division are structural, and kind of long-term,

(Watkins) believed he could play at Division I all along, ... and it worked out great for him.

We anticipate significant marketing and business synergies between BananaStock and our JupiterImages division as well as our Jupitermedia Properties. We expect that this acquisition will be accretive to our earnings and cash flows.

We know it's a big task. You have to go through the Southern teams. We just want to say that we're a good Northern team, give us a chance. The kids want to play in Division I.

Unfortunately, we had a couple of losses at the beginning of the season, but the division is up for grabs right now. New England is losing, Miami is right there. We feel like we're very competitive, and we know what we have to do when it comes to division games. We have to buckle up and get on the grind.

We were in the large school division and bumped heads with some pretty good programs. It was nice to come out scoring as many points as we did.

You know, with Randy gone, there's a spotlight for someone else in this division to step up. I'm pulling for my man No. 11. He's big, fast, strong and can leap into the lights and grab a ball.

To have a backup win the division is pretty good. Everybody did a good job today.

We're not taking anything for granted at this point. Our feeling is when and if there is a division title in hand, then we can start looking ahead.

We did very well. Our biggest addition that should have some immediate effect are our two Division I transfers. They each made commitments in the spring and put forth a great effort through the summer and will be in our starting lineup for our opener.

We are not going to cause division amongst the group. We are not yet committed to the May 1 boycott.

When half your team is freshmen and your wrestling a Division 1 schedule you're going to be in trouble. Imagine if half the offense and defense in football were freshman, there'd be real trouble there and we're in that same situation.

We played well, but it's a learning experience to see what Division I hockey is like. We now know what it is like at the next level.

We play in a league when sometimes five of the teams in our division are nationally ranked. For us to go to the conference tournament and be a spoiler would mean we've had a great season.

We probably played as poorly as we could in the division series and that was disappointing, ... great.

We're lacking in the size department. Big linemen are at a premium right now. We went after several guys during this last recruiting season, but all of the ones with decent size were snapped up by Division I schools. There just weren't that many to be had. I guess everybody is facing the same problem.

We played well. They have a good team. Most of the players in Division II are older and this gives us good experience.

Time turns the old days to derision, Our loves into corpses or wives; And marriage and death and division Make barren our lives

You don't play to win the division, you play to win championship rings. How many division titles does this team have? ... We don't care about that. It doesn't matter what record we have. Last year we had the best record in the majors and we lost in the World Series.

Today we are enhancing the leadership team and structure across the division to ensure we have the right organization to support our technology vision.

To beat a team like New Canaan makes it even sweeter. They've been here in the Division I finals many times. This legitimizes what we did in the tournament.

To beat a team like New Canaan makes it even sweeter. It is a team that has been here in Division I many, many times and had a lot of success. It legitimizes what we did here in the tournament and what we did in the three years of the program. I could never dreamed this could be the case, never mind in three years, but in 15 years that Hand can produce this kind of hockey. It is amazing.

We definitely had the makings of a championship-caliber team 1995, '96, '97, '98, all through there. Basically, until Lou left. We had the right personnel, the right mentality, the right manager. Unfortunately, we got a couple of division championship banners, which are great at least we have some history now but no World Series.

We deploy this division with great confidence. Our armed forces have made great progress in the past 2 1/2 years in Iraq. The 101st Airborne Division will continue that momentum.

We deploy this division with great confidence, ... Our armed forces have made great progress in the past 2 1/2 years in Iraq. The 101st Airborne Division will continue that momentum.

We won the MASCAC every year I played at Salem State. Those were really good times. We went to the Division III Sweet 16 twice while I was there. I also broke my own rebounding record twice.

A beautiful woman, Simone Weil said, seeing herself in the mirror, knows "This is I." An ugly woman knows with equal certainty, "This is not I." Maud knew this neat division represented an over-simplification. The doll-mask she saw had nothing to do with her, nothing.

The degree to which there is division in the Americas, the degree to which there are people who want to opt out of that common consensus, it lessens the chances of successfully achieving the kind of agenda that we have identified.

In general, if any branch of trade, or any division of labour, be advantageous to the public, the freer and more general the competition, it will always be the more so.

The division of labour was limited by the extent of the market

And yet the world we live in-its divisions and conflicts, its widening gap between rich and poor, its seemingly inexplicable outbursts of violence-is shaped far less by what we celebrate and mythologize than by the painful events we try to forget. Leopold's Congo is but one of those silences of history.

We're excited to play Samford. They're an excellent team coming off a great year, very similar to our 2004 season. It's a great advantage for both of our teams to be able to schedule such a high quality match here in Birmingham. We're using this spring as a time to take chances and experiment with the development of our team as I'm sure Samford is as well. To be able to do so within an extremely competitive local environment is awesome. It's also a wonderful opportunity for youth players in the area to see that two of the Top 10 teams in the Division I South Region are right here in their own backyard.

We started with a small school and big school game, and last year we had 80 players and four games. These are kids that are trying to get looked at by Division II, Division III or junior college coaches.

We want to be in contention for the Blue Division title. We'll need to continue to improve and hopefully we can make some noise in the county tournament.

We want to be able to pay our own way. We are a revenue-producing sport. We do it ourselves, there's no paid coaches, no salaries. We travel well, we have nice equipment. We do great trips with the kids. We treat it like a Division I program.

We want this to be our coming out party. Laurel plays in the state's toughest district. There are no slackers in that division with Wayne County. We have to get up for this game.

The criminal investigation division of the IRS plays a pivotal role in fighting tax evasion, and it is critical that its operations be beyond reproach, ... We must address these concerns in a thorough, fair and objective fashion.

The human mind makes foolish divisions in what love sees as one.

I also believe that US backing for Israeli policies of expansion of the Israeli state and oppression of the Palestinian people is the major cause of bitter division and violence in the world.

Democracy is the most realistic way for diverse peoples to resolve their differences, and share power, and heal social divisions without violence or repression.

We knew walking into the gym we had a great challenge ahead of us. Anytime you get down early against a Division I team, you've got an uphill battle ahead of you.

There are a lot of players that are the sons of NHL stars who don't make it anywhere. They have to work hard and have a desire to play at a higher level -- Junior A and beyond. I'm not sure where this will lead him -- a Division I college. Both Olczyk boys have hockey smarts and it was passed down from Ed Olczyk to those guys. As a coach I cannot teach some guys even though they try and try. Some guys never get it.

There are not too many universities around the nation, no matter what division they play in, that can say they have the support we do as Marshall University football players.

We came in here as the number 14 seed and they were rated third having played a very competitive schedule against a bunch of Division I teams. We have nothing to be ashamed of. We played hard right to the end. Our kids can hang their heads high.

We called it the chamber of horrors in Division II. They've got a new floor and new goals. It's not that big, but it's home for them and I'm sure they're excited about that.

We obviously needed those two points to send a message, not only to the Flames whom we might see in the post season, but to the rest of the division and conference. We realize we're not where we want, which is that top spot which we had yesterday. We've still got a lot of work to do.

We were very motivated (to rebound). (Davis) kind of made us feel bad because he said a Division I team should never get 18 rebounds -- especially Indiana ... We got 39 tonight and hopefully we can keep doing that.

UC San Diego is the only Division II team competing in our league. While they are at a disadvantage in that aspect, they work very hard and are very well coached. We want to go in there and play our hardest and show that we respect them.

U-32 is a good, strong team and are preparing to enter the Division II playoffs, and we are preparing for the Division III playoffs. The game gave us the ability to work on something that we haven't been able to work on in the past few games.
