John Watson Quotations

When you've got a very level situation at a team, then in a sense your team-mate is the person you have to beat.

We've got good players; they just don't have a lot of matches behind them. Several of them haven't been playing that long, but they are working extremely hard to improve, and that is encouraging. They all really like to play and want to be out here, and that's important. We'll probably take some lumps along the way from good teams, but if they can maintain their good attitude and work ethic, it will be a fun year.

I don't have enough good things to say about Paul as a coach or human being. I wish it had been different because he was an ideal match for this institution.

I hated it for Andy, but the Highland Park guy was just too good on this day. Andy had the big win Wednesday but couldn't bounce back. Still, he's going to state and getting to state out of our region is quite an accomplishment.

I felt it was time to make a change and he was very professional. He was very disappointed, yet accepting of the decision.

We're in the middle of changing administrations so we don't want to move forward too aggressively.

When they said it was over, we figured it was over. We didn't really believe that it was possible for Patti and her group to change the minds of the network.

This was one of the quickest acquisitions that we've had in my time at the DEP. We did this in just a few months.

Jeff is the kind of person we are looking for. He runs a very good operation, and he's already well-known for his Sharp Edge location in the East Liberty area.

We've got quite a diversity on our team this year. On one side-the boys-we have loads of talent and experience with all the guys back from last year. But the girls team is the most inexperienced group I've ever had.

Today was a real solid day for us. I thought both our guys and girls got after it really well in both matches and everyone got to play, which is always good.

We haven't had any fatalities yet, but still we have severely dehydrated patients coming in.

Those kids make up a very solid class on our team.

There are many options, perhaps half a dozen we could pursue including appealing his decision, but right now, we don't know. We need to meet and assess the situation.

We were really pleased that a company reported such a significant sale so soon after we returned from China. Now, we are hoping to repeat that success with the other companies involved in the trade mission.

There have been deadly outbreaks of waterborne diseases and in every emergency of this type you're always looking to prevent that second wave of diseases, which adds to the tragedy.

Eric has been helping with the junior program at Texarkana Country Club for several years, and I feel really fortunate to work with someone of his caliber. I'm sure his expertise will only serve to make all of the kids that much tougher.

Samuel and Daniel lost on Wednesday to a team that they'd beaten before and that really put them in a big hole. Their season is over, but it was a good season and I'm proud of them.

A three-game lead doesn't mean anything because you're playing for the playoffs, a state championship. Whether you win your division by one or 12, it doesn't make any difference. It's what are you doing at the end of the year to get ready for the state playoffs.

That number of 185 million has bowled everybody over. That volume is so unprecedented. This is a quantitative leap.

This event represents a significant achievement for the WAGP shareholders and is testimony to the strong commitment of the governments of Benin, Ghana, Nigeria and Togo to make this project a reality.

They say one picture is worth a thousand words. Imagine what one live video can do in a crisis.

It sounds like a pretty frustrating day all round.

Donors prefer to do one-stop shopping. The idea is to get all the mainstream humanitarian agencies involved in a unified appeal. It's a matter of efficiency.

It won't take us long to put forward a plan if that's the direction we decide to take.

In the case of Pakistan - and this is something I think Canadians would appreciate - there are severe winter conditions just weeks away. Shelter is an immediate priority.

In practice, the likelihood of preventing spread of infection in those circumstances is very limited.

The emotional connection to rustic living is what drives this new market.
