Weekend Quotations | Page 7

Our trip to California this past weekend gave us the opportunity to test ourselves. The results were not what we hoped for, but now we have a gauge of our speed and an idea of what we can improve upon before the Childs Cup.

Our tournament this weekend in Dallas gives us three matches. And that will have to do it, because we start the Big Ten right after that. And we open up at Wisconsin, which will be a pretty severe test.

Our biggest challenge this weekend will be for us to become mentally prepared for competition.

Our block is getting better, but as coaches, we can never be happy or satisfied. We are just going to enjoy the rest of the weekend and prepare for USC.

Other teams have called but he's not going anywhere right now. He's always wanted to stay in Toronto (where his family lives) and he's considering his options. He'll decide at the end of the weekend what he'll do.

Rock for Life's mission is to educate, activate, mobilize and unite the youth of our nation to fight the culture of death. Young activists from across the country will gather in our nation's capital this weekend to speak out against the assault on the most essential human right - the right to life.

Retailers have been planning for that lower traffic. The question now is, will the consumer in the last weekend of the season spend a little bit more or not?

Pitt was a good team and they will have a good year in the Big East. We're now looking forward to our weekend against Penn State and St. John's.

(Picking up wins) would be great for us in the big picture. A win we could steal would put us in great shape because we have Boston College coming in the next weekend and if we could get two or three there then we?re sitting in good shape. We just gotta get tough. We gotta compete.

Really wanted a little baby to love, though not, obviously, weekend nanny to shag ex-husband.

Our research showed that a significant amount of people were planning to shop later in the season. That attributed to continued increase in sales through Christmas and the weekend after.

Ordinarily, I don't like to start shooting on a Monday. I prefer to begin in the middle of the week, if I can. On the first day, everyone's a little nervous and anxious, so you have a couple of days' shooting and then the weekend to get re-grouped and catch your breath.

People in Hawaii have a built-in twinkle in their eye, and bring a sense of play and ohana to their work. When you leave work for the weekend in Boise, Idaho or Delaware, Maryland, you don't see your coworkers again until Monday -- that's not true of Hawaii, which has the most bowling and softball leagues of any state in the union.

Steve and Robert did a good job today. We brought them in for a pit stop just two laps before the yellow, but there was no way to know what was going to happen. Both guys never really put a wheel wrong all race. We have some work to do on the handling, but it was a positive weekend for the Porsche guys.

Staying away for the weekend is an excellent way of building team spirit.

Spring is oftentimes very difficult to forecast. Tomorrow it might snow and a weekend ago, it was 85.

Spring is near, the holiday weekend is approaching and an above-average passenger volume is expected. We are prepared to handle the crowds, but I ask the traveling public to follow a few simple steps to assist us in getting you through the checkpoints as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Spider-Man 2 Weekend is a part of our continuing marketing efforts to appeal to younger fans in new and non-traditional ways.

Spending patterns last year for the weekend of Dec. 7 when the storm hit were significantly above the average for the holiday season, up 19 percent, ... While it's difficult to predict exactly how consumers will respond this time around, a winter storm certainly does increase the convenience appeal and the likelihood that consumers will shift their spending from offline to online channels.

Some of our weekend guys should be rested enough to throw, so we'll have a little bit more depth.

That cold spell last week seemed to get a lot of deer out and moving around. I was bow-hunting last weekend near Julian and saw 20 deer, including a couple bucks. It should be a good opener.

That can change at the drop of the hat. Although this weekend looks fabulous, we could get 20 inches dumped on us by the end of next week.

My weekend was awesome and I'm happy. A lot of us knew we were coming in here going for second place.

My wife, Jan, and I are shocked by the apparent triple homicide that took place on our ranch in Hondo, New Mexico, sometime over the Fourth of July weekend while we were away in Santa Fe,

My preparations leading up to this weekend have been fantastic. I feel the most confident I have ever been going into a marathon.

My preference would be the weekend when Edmonton plays.

Many economists will end up eating humble pie this weekend because, while the relationship between the weekly initial unemployment claims and non-farm payrolls is fairly robust, we should also realize that it is not always a stable relationship from month to month.

Markets are basically in a holding pattern. We had some good economic numbers, but it's Friday ahead of a long Christmas weekend so people aren't going to make much a commitment.

(Martin) just has a little injury issue. She could have competed and we're saving her for this weekend (at Iowa State University) where there will be much better competition than at UNI.

I will take a weekend when Universal owns over one third of the total market share for the top anytime.

I wish we were in a little bit better position. But you're definitely going to see all that we have to give this weekend, next weekend and the weekend after that.

I was impressed with the quality of Elon and I wasn't surprised by that. This was a good weekend for us to get better, and I think we learned a few things about this club. We won the series, but couldn't win them all but I look at it as a positive weekend.

It feels strange because it's been so long since we've seen Auburn. They are coming off of a strong win against Baylor last weekend so neither team will have the luxury of two weeks to prepare for this competition.

It feels great. We had an amazing weekend. We've done a lot of work. We made some mistakes in the last race, very obviously. In general over the weekend we were very competitive.

I think people are sitting back right now and not too eager to jump in. Alternately, there's few sellers. All in all, I think there's a fairly good feeling that the economy is improving and that earnings should be good. There's some stalling ahead of the weekend and all the earnings next week.

I think coming into the weekend expectations were high with the way we finished at the sectional. They swam their best last weekend. For them to come back and be faster, I would have been surprised.

I think come the weekend it is quite likely that retailers will be sold out and will be waiting for the next allocation.

I think everybody saw it coming, and I'm glad he's back. Last weekend was a good start for us. I was real proud of my team. People assumed that we'd just go through the motions in these final 10 races, but honestly, Tony Jr. coming back has kind of put a jolt in our enthusiasm. He's bound and determined to win some of these races and remind everybody what they've got to deal with next year.

It doesn't matter how many days you call in advance, you are never getting a free seat to Orlando on President's Day weekend at the restricted level,

I still hang out with my friends on the weekend until 12:30 or 1 in the morning.

I think I'm going to be in pretty good shape. I'm fine. I've just got to try to sneak something into the 60s this weekend and see what happens. I know you don't have to try to shoot 65.

I think he feels like it's time to get back with the guys a little bit. It's going to be an emotional weekend for Dave, but I think he'll do just fine. I think he's just ready to do that.

I think for Chris to get within 0.6 of a second of pole is a great achievement, given what we have gone through this weekend so far. His position doesn't quite reflect what might have been as he had to deal with traffic on his fastest lap. Unfortunately, in race trim the gap between us and the faster runners - in terms of consistency - will be greater than it was in qualifying. This is down to a number of reasons that the team can't fix here at the track.

I still think they're in such good position when you look at the schedule the rest of the year. After our weekend, they play just teams that are in the lower division the rest of the way. And I still think last weekend is more of an aberration than anything else.

It'd be great to develop fan buses when we play at Stetson or go to Jacksonville. They can make a weekend out of it.

I think last weekend for a couple of them, it had been a bit disappointing in certain aspects of the game and they're looking for another match to adapt and make those changes. You work during the week and then you have fun competing.

I thought it was a good start for us. We got great pitching from Ragan and Stephanie all weekend and they gave us a chance to win every game. We made some defensive mistakes, but I was pleased with the way we swung the bats.

I thought I personally played very well, ... Our coaches kept saying that our goal going into this weekend was that we shouldn't just try to compete with the teams there, but that we should be able to win. I think we represented ourselves well.

I think they're 100 percent excited about it. We've done well at home this year (10-1-4). I know their goal for the last three years that I've been here has been to get into the top four, and now in the last weekend of the year we have that opportunity.

Julien is still having some tests done but he's going home for the weekend and will hopefully start training with us on Tuesday.

I think this weekend was a little disappointing because these were two teams we thought we could beat. We wanted to see where we stand against tougher competition, which we did. We know we are as good as those teams; there are just a few things we need to work on as players and as competitors.

I think this was a pretty fun weekend and I think both teams of the guys and the girls do a really great job cheering for each other and keep each other excited and pumped up. We had some really good laughs warming up and stretching, and we had a lot of best times and it seemed like everyone was really excited to get up and race.

I'm so happy to be to be on the podium today. Before the race things weren't going to plan. In the morning warm-up we were so slow and were in real trouble. My guys made some changes and I have to be real grateful to them as they got it right and that's why I got third. The bike was so much better in the race than it had been all weekend - so much faster.

I'm shooting the puck more, but I know I need a big weekend to get 50 in 50. Especially on the power play, goalies cheat to Rob's side because he shoots the puck a lot every game, so I'm looking at a lot of empty nets. With me, I'm usually passing, but you try to mix it up so the goalie doesn't know what you're going to do.

I might as well be around my school so if guys want to come in, I can be accessible to anybody. I may go out (to California) for a weekend if the agency has something that I need to go to or some kind of charity event.

I'm hoping we play our best match of the weekend (today).

I'm self-taught. But I finally learned that they was having little shows or night dances or whatever you call them at little juke joints not far from where I lived, and I used to go there. They wouldn't let me play inside, but I could sit outside on the weekends, when it wasn't raining or something.

We need a good weekend, so if they're going to be desperate, we're probably in the same category. We had a good weekend this weekend, but Oregon State is kind of down. This weekend will be a whole lot different.

We need a good finish this weekend in Fontana. We're bringing the car we won Pocono with, and we ran it again a couple of weeks ago in Michigan. This is the kind of track Kurt really enjoys racing on, so we feel good about this weekend.

We need a break. We're fatigued as a team, and we're hurting. We had more kids in the training room than in practice (Monday). It'll be kind of like a breath of fresh air to have a weekend off.

You know how most illnesses have symptoms you can recognize? Like fever, upset stomach, chills, whatever. Well, with manic depression, it's sexual promiscuity, excessive spending, and substance abuse - and that just sounds like a fantastic weekend in Vegas to me!

The advance sellout of the 93rd Grey Cup game speaks to the hard work and efforts of the 2005 Grey Cup organizing committee and reinforces the growing strength of the CFL across the entire country. As we head into our Thanksgiving Classic weekend and with the race for playoffs building with excitement, we look forward to once again celebrating Canada's championship with fans around the world.

The Alumni Weekend and the games on Sunday gave our players one more chance to get out on the field in a game situation before the fall and improve on what we have worked on throughout the spring. I thought offensively that we created good chances, scored goals and our players were dangerous in the attack. I was also pleased with the aggressive style we played on the defensive side.

That was the first time I ever tried to download a whole weekend of images,

That was the beginning of Wrigley Field merging with Wrigleyville. Before 1984, this wasn't a weekend destination point and a place where people would socialize after games. There were some small corner taverns that people happened upon and that was it.

That was probably the best and worst weekend of the year. We broke ground and then Dick had his stroke the Monday morning following. When you talk about highs and lows, that was kind of a microcosm.

That will be a good weekend to prepare ourselves mentally. We've had a couple of byes this season. When we've come off them, we've been an awfully strong team.

That weekend we will be hosting all of the Div. I schools in the state of Georgia. And to round out the field of six teams will be Team Boca U-17 Club Team. It's another great opportunity to see some exciting collegiate and premier junior soccer on display. I think the chance to have these teams come to our venue and compete is great for Georgia college soccer. Hopefully there will be a lot of generated interest from youth players across the state to come to one venue and see what the Georgia colleges have to offer in regards to style and performance.

That weekend is a tremendous opportunity for us. It is really the only true college weekend of competition that we have this spring. We play two very good teams in UAB and the traditional powerhouse of North Carolina. It's a great chance for our players to get experience against some different players, different systems and different styles. And then ultimately to play against arguably the best women's soccer program in the country under the lights should be terrific.

The 19 NATO leaders made clear last weekend that NATO will prevail in reversing Milosevic's repression.

That's the way it always is. We have visits scheduled this weekend and next and we'll be fine.

That's tough to take, because as a coach I know that we had a great chance to win three games this weekend but couldn't do it. Obviously, we're playing better than we were a few weeks ago, and that's good to see. Now we have to find a way to turn some of these close games into wins.

I was really hoping we could come out this weekend with two wins, the girls are starting to believe in themselves as a team. They are staying very focused for each game and seem to want to get better as they go deeper into the season.

I was quite confident for pole position because the team have done a great job with the bike this weekend and it worked well from yesterday,

I was proud of the way all six of our guys wrestled. We were picked to finish 12th, and they battled all weekend to do much better than that.

I was over in Orange Beach this past weekend and all people wanted to know was when was the Isle going to open. I've gotten calls at my home from Atlanta, Arkansas, Jacksonville, Fla., and Lafayette, La.

I wasn't very happy last weekend at Dartmouth. I feel that they were just running not racing. And I think that there was a huge difference today. It was no comparison.

Most of our athletes will be competing this weekend and the seven potential reserves have been spoken to by the chairman of selectors about the process that will take place over the next few days and what they can expect.

We need to play the way we played against BC against Hofstra this weekend and against everyone we play for the rest of the season.

We have one of the best tournaments in the state. It definitely makes things interesting when you add the boys in it too. It makes for a very fun and exciting weekend to start up the season.

We have one last chance remaining and that's this weekend at Talladega. We're definitely coming in there with all our guns loaded and ready to go.

We haven't scored three goals in weekend on the power-play in a long time.

We just couldn't carry over the quality play we had from the weekend games.

You live and die with your veterans early in the season, and this weekend saw our veteran core step up

Will we have a traditional Labor Day weekend -- absolutely not, ... No one with any soul will not be tempered by what we are going through.

Winning this series is huge for us. Now we need to take this into next weekend and continue to build momentum heading into the end of the season and the conference tournament." ()

Where we're standing currently in the conference doesn't mean anything. It's too early to throw in the towel -- it's one weekend of many weekends that's left to play.

We continued to play well. We got in some very good work this weekend, and scored a Patriot League win over Colgate. We got our hat trick this weekend and felt we played well doing it.

We can't even think about getting complacent. My attitude after last week is we've got to work even harder. I want to win more than I did last weekend because it's the following weekend.

We were looking at this weekend as keeping pace, more so than making hay. We have to take care of our own business. We hold our fate in our hands.

Well, it brings in millions of dollars into the community, and for us it's our biggest weekend in September.

We played much better than we did last week. Maybe it was the long weekend we had that gave us some rest. But it won't get any easier for us.

We played great all weekend and the kids played hard. It was a good weekend; I am proud of our team and our effort.

We played a very good team in San Diego this weekend and we knew at some point they were going to make a run after we tamed their bats in the first two games. They jumped out early in the final game but we had an answer and another good comeback in us. Our team is playing very confident right now, they believe in each other and that's great to see.

We hope that the management bargaining team is spending the weekend preparing a better offer for us. We look forward to seeing it Monday morning.

We hope it will become a weekend destination.

We donate a whole day for the families of the area to come out and join the fun. We hold the event on the first weekend of April, this year it happens to fall on April 1 so there is going to be a lot of fun.

Whew that was some work out there. ... We took a gamble tonight. I have raced here 4 times here this year before tonight and all 4 nights the track got slick. So we decided to go with our 360 tonight and use the less horsepower to our advantage. It figures the track would be heavy. We gave em a good run though and we feel real good about our finish. Next weekend barring any unforeseen problems we should win the VRA/Bandit Sprints Grand Slam. No worries!

We're calling it the weekend to remember. Or to forget.
