Eric Smith Quotations

Sir D is getting better and better each week. If he keeps improving, we should be good.

Right before it hits, fishing improves. They know they have to hurry up and eat.

If they can duplicate the time they had at the YMCA district meet last week, they'll finish near the Top 10.

I love being around the game. I love being around the kids and I'm still a kid at heart.

He hasn't decided what he wants to do. But it isn't this.

We can get much quicker at states. (Frye) was seeded so well in his individual events, we didn't feel he needed to rest before districts.

We made some different checks here and there, ... In the third quarter we were saying 'It's on us, if we don't let them score we win.'

He was hoping for the conditions to be bad today. He's got all the shots, so when it's like this, it usually works to his advantage. It certainly did today. It was fun to watch him play like a champion.

I think we'll see a lot more mutual aid requests outside the city, but we'll also be making more.

I think we should go back. In fairness I don't think they should get two years of free taxes.

It is labor intensive and detail intensive. You've got to put your heart and soul into it.

Last year more individual returns were filed electronically than by paper and more refunds were returned through direct deposit than through the mail.

It is a very difficult position ... there is no separation, ... We are glad a new (court) is being built.

People are buying cumbersome technologies. They wind up with a beautiful set-up with six remotes that they don't know how to use.

Some of the requirements had given us very challenging manufacturing tasks.

Nate had a great meet. He's a hard worker in practice. He's starting to understand the fine tuning of swimming like setting up starts, turns and finishes.

Most of them do eventually find their right home.

When Suzanne took her to Texas, she was forum-shopping. The case was willfully filed in the wrong jurisdiction to do things that were contrary to her mother's best interest, and have harmed her.

We encourage people to use that phone line if they know of or suspect fraud, ... we don't get a real high percentage of good leads from those calls.

What we see is the state taking over a number of responsibilities that have been granted not only to the local officials but local residents through the legislative process.

We were right there with the way it was seeded.

We had a couple days off and a little extra preparation and healing time, and we're going to need it against Ohio State.

There is room for improvement mainly in implementing the law.

When you looked at the deduction versus the cars being donated, there was a discrepancy. There were some real concerns and compliance issues. There were situations where people were being told they could deduct the Blue Book value, period.

We continue to turn to eBay because their open approach creates an environment of support for independent developers who are tapping into the platform. In addition to providing business opportunities and a playground for innovation, eBay is a great mentor for developers.

We did a nice job starting out. It gives us something to build on, lets us know what we have to work on. We did a good job communicating, getting everybody playing the same coverage. We just have to make some plays.

Even though we spread it and even though we throw it and that's our basic belief, we've always in part of our philosophy has been that there comes a point in time that you still have to be able to run the football.

Electronic filing has been going on for 20 years now. There's no evidence that any return has been lost electronically. That's really a remarkable track record.

Eric relishes those situations. He really enjoys being in those spots where he needs to play well.

The top 16 make all-state and I'm really expecting all four of our relays to make that.

The time is very precious. When they come into first grade or kindergarten for the first time, they learn within a few weeks of the school experience that they're not as capable, and that's a burden that is extremely damaging.

It we could shut them down offensively and keep them from scoring very many points at all, we have a real great shot at winning.

I've looked at a few things to see what people think my strengths and weaknesses are.

They served well and our serve receive was very poor. Therefore we played defense all night. We have some things we think we can do against them, but if we can't serve receive - there's nothing we can do.

They've done a great job in helping each other out. We're able to mix and match and play those guys in certain personnel groups at different times. It gives us flexibility.

They're very grateful. I guess the best I can say is they were very happy to see me.

A lot of the freshmen have surprised us this year. They could pick us up both on offense and defense.

There were guys running on, guys running off and then guys realizing they weren't supposed to be out there. It was chaos.

They're looking forward to having younger guys out there.

There's a totally legitimate way to check on your refund, and it costs you nothing. Just go to the IRS Web site and click on 'Where's My Refund?' Alternatively, taxpayers can call toll-free 1-800-829-1954.

It was the biggest surprise on the girls' side.

It's an interesting sound to say the least. People get hooked by it.

It's hard to duplicate to emotion of that first taper swim, but what we're really looking for as a group is holding our district times and showing slight improvement. If we do that, it will be quite an accomplishment.

It's probably harder getting him the ball this year because teams know about him, ... They know he's the key to their offense.

It's unbelievable how he knows what everybody is doing on the field for each call.

It's designed so we can improve our efficiency, and expand the volume moving through.

It was a nice way to send off our seniors ... with a title.

It was a good day by everybody. It was the first year we ever won the Iroquois Invitational. Up until this year, we only had one guy in the finals. This year, we had two or three in the top 12. It was a good weekend.

I heard the window go out and then I see him, and he said they had a ladder in the back.

I heard people screaming, so I went down the street and saw the smoke and fire and I called 911. Then I went into backyard, and there were girls there crying screaming, saying someone in the house. I heard a guy screaming out the front window. I knew he was a contractor, so I asked if he had a ladder. He said there was one in the back yard, so I went, got it, and set it up.

The justice system is working but is not foolproof. Clearly we are allowing criminals back on the street. This happens in the U.S. as well. When the (Iraqi) men to be released come back, we meet the bus and tell them that if they get picked up again, they will be right back in jail.

The TRMM team wanted field experiments from the very beginning because it knew there would be issues about validating the results from the satellite,

You don't have to gamble as much. You can be a little bit more vanilla. You can make sure you're playing coverage to keep things in front of you because you have guys underneath that can cover a lot of ground and are doing a lot of things.

The is the second biggest group we've taken to the state meet in quite a few years. And the nice thing is that not one of the 10 is a senior.
