Weekend Quotations | Page 6

I think it's actually a good idea, because there are so many kids here on the weekend and at night that some people lose business.

I think it is scandalous what has been put around in the media this weekend about this being a one-off,

It appears that the incident that occurred over the weekend didn't shake and stir the market right now.

I think it's going to be tough playing in Des Moines over the weekend because Drake has a home court advantage. We are going to continue our same strategy, which is winning the doubles point and winning down low. If we keep our course, I think we will be in good shape.

I think it's great. You never like to lose. But I think because of the loss, the guys know what they have to do. There is more sense of an urgency. They've been unified the whole time. But I sense more excitement and enthusiasm over the weekend than any kind of pressure.

I think it's great. We've done it every year since the conference began and I think that says a lot about the program and the players. It's not easy and every year everybody is going for you. We take it one game at a time and don't get too far ahead of ourselves. Now we're getting close to the playoffs and we still have a big weekend ahead of us with Colby and Bowdoin.

It is a big weekend, and they're all big if we're going to win the league. After going 1-2 last week, it makes this weekend even bigger. We need to go out and be successful. We need to play at our level. If we play well, then we'll have a good weekend. I really expect us to do that." ()

I think the lessons we learned this weekend were great, even though we didn't win.

I think the key after playing such a hard weekend with not too many positives is to get on a winning streak. We're bringing in probably one of the best Division II teams, but most of (Tuesday's) practice will be working on things we need: Swinging at strikes and throwing strikes. It's a simple game and we kind of let that get away from us.

I think you're going to see some very dedicated play this weekend with home floor on the line.

I think you'll probably see an extension of this rally next week, barring any surprises over the weekend and assuming the ISM number Monday is positive.

I think the best part of the weekend was that a lot of different people got some excellent match play. It was another indication that our depth will be a great strength for us this year.

It is going to be a challenge for everyone to just finish this race. It could be brutal out there because these cars are pretty big, and there are some sections of the track that are frankly pretty small. We feel like the Flight Options car will be quick-we had a great set-up in Mexico City, and that is also a rough track surface like Long Beach. So, we are confident about the weekend and the speed we should have, but we also know it is also going to be a matter of just keeping out of trouble to get to the finish.

It is good to hole a few putts and enter the weekend again with a chance to win.

It is clear from weekend reports that the violence in Kosovo has continued. We do not accept that this is merely an internal matter.

Labor Day weekend is not as important from an economic standpoint as it used to be.

I was at a party in the Hamptons this weekend with some buddies I grew up with, ... All of a sudden, they part the way for us to get in and it's, like, 'What can we do for you?' So, yeah, I guess the show is definitely registering.

It is so comfortable when you play at home. You have your own locker room and your own routine. It's tough to play on the road. You win on the road with good pitching, a good starting pitching performance. That is what we did not get last weekend in two out of three games. That's the difference. It allows our young kids to relax a little bit and just play.

It is simply too unsafe to let any of our keiki ride in the back of pickup trucks. We have to protect them. It breaks my heart to see teenagers in the ER after accidents like the one we experienced this past weekend in Kona.

I thought we played very hard the entire weekend regardless of what the score was. I would just like to see us in a situation where you win the first two games to have a little bit more of a killer instinct. Hopefully, the next time we're in this situation we can go out and set the tone and put us in a situation to win the series.

I thought the biggest success of the weekend was that the kids reacted well to the bad conditions. That they reacted positively, they didn't let it take away from their performance.

I thought this weekend our kids played extremely hard. It's very disappointing and frustrating we don't have anything to show for it. They gave us everything they had. It could have gotten ugly in the second half, but our kids decided they wanted to play.

I think we got everyone on the team in the game and that is always good. These were two great wins this weekend and I think both of these teams that we beat (Florida and Maryland) will be there at the end of the season (for the NCAA tournament).

I think we even surprised ourselves by winning by so much. It was a great weekend for us and it seemed we had lifetime bests from almost everyone.

I think we probably came in here as a No. 4 seed, maybe even a No. 5. Because of our work this weekend it's pushed us into a No. 3 seed, which is obviously very special.

I think we kind of made a decision as a staff and the players did, too, to stay away from the summer circuit, get back to the gym and get back to fundamentals. We only played about 27 summer games and did not get in any weekend tournaments.

I think we did as much as we could and got out of the meet as much as we could. Most of our guys are entered in the American Short Course next weekend and it will give us a chance to get a few more cuts and go a little faster. The guys really embraced the seniors today and we have talked a lot about that and how you need to enjoy the trip along the way.

I thought our team played with great courage and conviction against Wasps so we've decided to reward their efforts and give them another shot this weekend against Saracens,

I thought our team played hard. I thought over the weekend we played 125 minutes of pretty solid hockey, so I'm pleased with what we did this weekend.

I think we've improved in every area, and I think they could say the same. That game was the first weekend in January before we started going through this gauntlet. I think both teams just have so many more experiences; so many more practices that have hopefully made us better in every area. And I think we both probably are.

I think what got us done earlier in the season was more of the mental approach. That was something we were lacking in. Last weekend we were much better with our mental approach.

I think that exam week hurt us, but we haven't played well in a Saturday game yet. We just need to do a better job on our weekend games. We've got to come ready to play, as the games just don't win themselves.

I think a lot of our pitchers settled in this weekend. We threw a lot of strikes and hit where we were supposed to this weekend and that will always help your defense.

I think Ashley was probably the only one who played up to her capabilities. She played great D (defense) and kept us in the game. She had played well last weekend so I was close to putting her back in the position. I probably should have done it earlier. She'll be in that position tomorrow (tonight).

I think a lot of the smaller schools need as many days out into tournament play like the Boo Williams or the Deep South because we cannot afford to fly to just see one game in Iowa and fly back like some of the larger schools can. I wish it was a different weekend and that we had more days out as well.

I think after the first two games we collectively thought that it would all be that smooth and I think last weekend showed us that having good players doesn't mean you'll win everything. This week has been our hardest week so far of practice and we are definitely ready for Seton Hall.

I think it was the biggest weekend in a quarter century for a women's swimming team at Rutgers.

I think it's silly that we don't play Bradley every year. They are so close to us. It doesn't matter if we play during the week or on the weekend with them.

It gives kids something to do over the New Year's weekend that they can do alone or with their parents and have a fun night out.

It has been a while since I ran US 36. ... It is a fast place. You get a lot of G's in the corners. It's flat out each and every lap. It would be great to get a couple of wins this weekend as we start wrapping up the season. We have 9 so far and have a goal of 15. We won at Moberly (24 Raceway) last year and have done really well at that track, so I am looking forward to getting back there.

It has been an amazing weekend for Michelin, and one that is only possible because of the hard work of so many people in our Company. It exemplifies our sporting values and our dedication to the team spirit of racing and fair competition. I am very proud and want to thank them all. I also want to congratulate both Fernando Alonso and Valentino Rossi on their World Championships. They are fantastic racers and great ambassadors for their sports.

I think this past weekend was really good for our confidence.

I think we came here as a four seed, maybe a five, but what we did this weekend picked us up.

I think we are set for now to have a good clear and specific focus this weekend on what needs to be done in the months ahead.

I think that starting conference this weekend is a big deal, and it's nice to do it at home. I hope that we can take the momentum we have, especially what we're doing offensively right now, and kind of gain confidence and keep rolling.

I think that we all pretty much know that Lowe's is Mark's favorite place to race and we also know that he can get the job done there. He was dominant in the All-Star race in May and we were good in the 600 as well. It's just up to us to give him a car capable of putting him up front and we all know that he'll do the rest. Our goal is to give Mark a good car and go out and look for two in a row this weekend at Lowe's.

I think that was our worst weekend of the year. We played much better this time around.

It is important to get over .500 now and keep our momentum going forward. We've got a big weekend with Eastern Michigan and we need to go in thinking we need to gain ground on the second place team in our division.

It is nice to get back on the field after having our weekend series postponed. ULL will be a very well coached ball team, so it will be good to see how we match up against them.

I think we're going to see a lot of candidates. I actually think they will sort themselves out starting this weekend when the rules of the game are put into play.

Like most of the world's population I'm into coffee, but in a properly big and important way. My perfect weekend would start with a pint of coffee.

I will not have a shower all weekend now.

I will play. I have not missed a league game and I can have a weekend off when we play North Walsham in the cup final.

I went to my first Westminster in 1989. It put that dream in my head to one day show there. In the U.S. it's certainly the most prestigious. But he'll have other shows, in fact some are coming up this weekend and there's always next year.

I think they have the best set of forwards in the league. It'll be a tough weekend for us.

It is a tremendous way to come off a loss like we did last weekend and step it up. We just talked about ball security. The three goals are ball security, ball security, ball security. We are coming together.

It is a Microsoft market today. People have had the weekend to think about the government's plan to break it up. We're still looking at a strong economy and there's room for some buying - at least today, bulls are back.

I think there's a little bit of a bruise. He'll take the weekend off and we'll see how he is on Monday. Hopefully, he'll be ready to go, otherwise we've got some people who can step up.

I think there were just a few things that were unresolved Friday night. Things were about 90 percent of the way there, and I think the weekend allowed us to potentially fill that last gap.

I think there was a lack of motivation in the first half. It was a long weekend and after not scoring in the first half they got a little down. They settled down in the second half. We didn't have many dangerous chances but we possessed the ball better.

Just as Christmas Eve is a family time, Easter is also a time for families. We request that you would allow our family to have this weekend to deal with these recent developments together in private,

Kurt's done pretty well here over the years. We're bringing the same car and back-up that we took to Daytona for the 500 and at this race earlier this year, and the primary did really well there. These Sharpie guys have done a great job with the racecars all year, and especially last weekend and in Loudon, but we haven't had the finishes. So we need a good run this weekend.

Last week was quite a hard introduction for him, but I thought he acquitted himself reasonably well. Obviously it will take him a little while to find his way back around around a rugby field, especially in a standard that high. This weekend will be just as tough and there will be a lot of pressure on him.

Last weekend we saw a massacre. There were a few shakeups in the top ranks of some retail names, and that's to be expected.

Last weekend we saw a massacre, ... There were a few shakeups in the top ranks of some retail names, and that's to be expected.

Last weekend we had a solid run going, but the bolt on the sway bar broke while we were running in the top 10. Hopefully this weekend we can start to put some good finishes together before the end of the season. It has been discouraging, but I believe in this team's abilities and we will get after it again this weekend.

Last weekend we had 70 to 80 people in here ranging from teens to late 1960s.

Last weekend was a weekend when a few results kept things very tight. I still believe that it says a lot about the conference that everybody's grouped so closely and that really winning a game at the right time, making a couple of plays at the right time, those are the things that really will determine the standings and the playoff pairings.

Last weekend was a bummer. It was our dream to get the squad to State and we thought we were capable.

Last weekend took more out of me than I expected and physically I feel run down after a difficult week in the UK,

Last weekend really showed that our team can put things together. It's just really early in the season and we're still working out kinks and changing routines around a little bit. But we're really starting to figure out what we need to do to be competitive.

Last weekend I wasn't great, but tonight I felt like I was right back on top of my game. I know they had some guys out of their lineup, but they still had some good chances.

Last weekend I had to have tests done in a Dallas hospital, so I missed the Raiders game, the 18th,

Last weekend I didn't see any evidence of us being able to stand in and compete. But this weekend I feel that we've been playing hard, which is what we've been harping the team about.

Last weekend gave us confidence that when we bowl like we can, we're a very good team. If we do that again, I see no reason why we can't be in the top 10.

I think, especially living in L.A., it's very easy to get wrapped up in weekend announcements and the trades and the whole social life of the city, and to get divorced from what actually matters.

I see it as something that's going to expand the pie. It's going to cause somebody who's 3,000 (or) 4,000 miles away to look hard at spending the weekend in Kansas City. ... Ideally, it will combine with existing tourist possibilities and cause people to extend their stay for three or four days.

On weekends, the U.S. was casual; in Italy the weekend was very formal. I came to understand that weekends are about free time, and that one could wear high quality, tasteful products that weren't so formal.

Our kids were on fire during the competition. It think everyone who got an autograph had their best weekend of the year.

Our kids have done a good job of staying focused all year. We're going to preach this week that we need to take care of business first this weekend before we look ahead.

Our goal this weekend is to win this race and to continue to gain experience running against some of the MAC teams. We faced Ohio four times last year and had troubles with them, but we are anxious to get out on the course and run against them again.

Our challenge is to get someone who has never been to the festival to buy a ticket for a show that they haven't been to before, artists that they don't know. But that's our reputation now. People hadn't heard of Todd Snider before we brought him here and the people who keep coming expect that. They will find something new that they loved by the time the weekend is over.

Overall, we played a pretty good opening weekend tournament. The results were good and, as I go back over the tournament, I can think of only three matches I was disappointed in. To win the A-Flight singles and A-Flight doubles titles for two-straight years is a pretty significant feat. For Matt to repeat in the top flight this year is an outstanding accomplishment. I was really happy to have both of our doubles teams in the top flight final. Tony and Jarrod had a great doubles tournament.

Over the course of the weekend with all the rain that we had the section of asphalt between the bridge on 150 and the bridge over Sulfur Springs Road on 459 just came all to pieces.

Over the weekend traders aren't able to respond to any political news. It's safer to be long than short.

Over the weekend there were a lot of reports in the U.S. talking about how the people who think the worst is over are probably wrong, and I think the market always gets nervous after a rally.

Over the weekend I exchanged email with a Unix guy who chastised me for being "insular" and proposed to tell me how to speak to Unix people with proper humility. Well, I only pray to one God in relation to computers, and His name is Murphy.

Our program teaches students how to stop losing their chips during Texas hold 'em games. And weekend getaways to Atlantic City are a lot more fun if you're winning.

Our pitching was pretty good all weekend except for the game against Huntsville.

Our pitching and defense were strong this week. Our goal is to carry that through this weekend and maintain that level of play on a consistent basis.

Our performance on the weekend wasn't anywhere near acceptable, but it was a good reminder and a good lesson to our blokes of the work-rate required at AFL level.

Our season was a real struggle all year long. Nothing went our way all year, but this weekend we didn't give up.

Our team knows how important this weekend is. This series could put us back on the top or back to the bottom.

Our team is really pumped right now. With our win last weekend, we gained several spots in the points and are still a contender for the Chase. The guys will be really focused this weekend on executing their pit stops. We're bringing our Chicago and Michigan car to California and it's done well for us, so we're looking forward to being competitive again this weekend.

Our team fought hard today. Our attack was solid, but we did not create enough scoring chances. Overall, we played better than we did on Friday evening and gave ourselves a chance to win. We have some big games in front of us, so we will need to work on improving our possession and get some rest after a very physical weekend against Michigan and Michigan State.

Our focus to this point has been South Carolina because a lot of natural attention has been paid to the Florida game already. But, the Florida matchup is meaningless if we don¹t play well on Friday. We are happy to be hosting again this weekend and hopefully we can get another great crowd, play well and score some goals.

Our goal for this weekend is to kick the crap out of Eastern Washington, and the same to San Jose State on Saturday.

Our general season runs from the long weekend in May to October 31. This year, with the fish study and possible work on the dam, our season would run from June 15 until about the middle of August.

Overall it was a pretty good weekend for us but I really expected us to get the win over Virginia. There were about three more matches that we should have won but that's how it goes sometimes. You can't give up back points like we did late in those matches.

Overall, the moderate-priced stores such as J.C. Penney, Sears and Wal-Mart had good traffic levels. We think luxury sales were probably flat this past weekend because more people said they decided to go away on vacation before Christmas this year than last year. So this could have impacted spending on other high-end items.
