Arizona Quotations | Page 3

These are the people who think, 'Yeah, I know Arizona.' Our goal is to show them there is more to Arizona than the perception they have.

It would be one of the largest transactions in terms of enterprise value in Arizona history.

The second game isn't going to be anything like the first game; it never is. Arizona has continued to get better.

The SEC has been closer to the Mountain West, Conference USA, and the Big East than it has been to either the Big 12 or the Pac-10, ... Arizona State has posted more non-conference wins versus the current BCS Top 25 (No. 9 Iowa and No. 25 UTEP) by itself than the entire SEC.

These employees should be remunerated for any and all services they rendered, and the Arizona Region accepted.

The state of labor in Arizona is that we're healthy and getting healthier all the time,

The state of Arizona has a plan for people without a will. If people want other results, they have to make it happen.

The three fastest-growing Western states -- Nevada, Arizona and Utah -- are expected to slow down over the next two years. Still, it is likely that these states will be in the top 10 for job creation yet again this year and next.

Science will soon be included on the AIMS test, and the Avnet Science and Technology Fair is a tremendous opportunity for Arizona children to reinforce what they learn in the classroom. Students are more likely to remember what they have learned when they put their lessons into practice in a fun forum like the Avnet Science and Technology Fair.

said GM Theo Epstein . ''We feel the time in Arizona was time well spent. We intend to continue to be patient with Curt and make sure he's 100 percent ready before we send him out in game situations.

Rather than get giddy after beating LSU, which is an unbelievably talented team, the guys immediately turned their focus on Arizona and that final score wasn't indicative of the margin of that game. This is best defensive team I've ever had. They really get after it. These are very athletic, quick long-armed kids who pressure all over.

Project 7th Grade is making a positive difference in the lives of kids. The recent Arizona State University study found that 75 percent of participating parents felt that the program likely improved their family's communication about the harmful effects of drugs, and nearly 75 percent of the parents surveyed felt the program likely helped deter their children from using them. Adding the prescription drug element into this program will further enhance its reach and benefit to parents and teenagers.

The nationals are very competitive. Teams from California, Arizona and Wisconsin are powerhouses and will be at the competition.

After I drew the tag for Nevada and Matthew got his tag I called my buddy in Arizona and told him I didn't want to draw another tag because it would be a big disruption to my schedule. He told me, 'Put in for this one. Your odds are so remote you'll never draw it. A total of 9,400 people applied for 50 tags last year.' Well I drew that one too.

Coming to the University of Arizona and being a part of the Adaptive Athletics Program helped me to shape the development of my career and began to show me what was possible.

That's what we all hope. Everyone feels good about the win. Arizona was 3-0 and atop our division, so to go into their building and beat them, it does give you a little emotional boost. We'll continue to use that, but we'll stick with our game plan for the season.

That's what's funny, ... My brother and I had to go back, take a step back into college football because nobody would've taken us. We were just Buddy Ryan's sons. They can't coach; just look at Arizona that last year.

You never know. Arizona called me the other day, and I had no clue they even knew my name.

You need five players contributing during the course of the tournament, which we did, but we had a couple guys struggle today. I'm disappointed because you like to win when you have the opportunity, but tying Arizona down at Tucson isn't so bad.

This is a terribly sad, heartbreaking day in Arizona women's basketball. I can't put into words the pain and sadness that we're all feeling right now.

The University of Arizona is special, and I am very pleased to be here because I want to help students take advantage of the remarkable opportunities the university offers,

This confidence in business conditions also is reflected in the survey responses to the annual question regarding anticipated capital equipment expenditures. This year, 62 percent of supply chain managers plan to increase capital equipment expenditure in 2006; only 10 percent said they plan to cut back on capital expenditures. This is a marked difference from previous years, and suggests continued positive economic news for Arizona in the near term.

This is a national problem. We believe that 85 percent of homeowners are underinsured, whether it's Mount Lemmon, Tucson, Phoenix, Arizona or the United States.

America is the only developed nation that has a 2,000-mile border with a developing nation, and the government's refusal to control that border is why there are an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants in Arizona and why the nation, sensibly insisting on first things first, resists 'comprehensive' immigration reform.

They have a good team and it will be a good battle. We need to take the same approach versus Colorado State as we do with Arizona State and if we do, we'll do well.

They don't miss on too many guys. Generally with the top kids in Arizona, if Arizona wants them, that's usually where they end up.

The reports this week about the long-term landing spot being Los Angeles were nonsensical, ... L.A.'s been the landing spot for the Indianapolis Colts, the Arizona Cardinals, the Seattle Seahawks, the Minnesota Vikings and any number of other teams, and the last time I looked they were all operating in their communities and L.A. is off the radar screen.

There's a real Arizona connection there, because much of the equipment used in the Voyager mission was manufactured right here in Scottsdale.

It's a team we don't match up well with. Our inability to rebound has been a problem all year long. I knew Arizona State was going to win some more games this year. It's too bad we had to pay the price. You've got to credit their defense.

It was a typical first game of the season, ... Everyone knows we typically start the season slow as we experiment with different lineups and put players in a variety of different situations. We started out the game that way for about the first 25 minutes. Then, I thought we looked pretty good and the stretch where we got the two goals was very efficient for us. We got a little out of shape just after the two goals. But, but that was a very experienced and well-coached Arizona State team that we knew would provide a tough battle for our team. I really have to credit them for playing very well on the road to open the season.

It was at spring training in Arizona and it was my third season and the Warriors were doing really lousy. I walked into the A's press box, and Bill walked up to me and introduced himself, and said he empathized with me. He remembered when the Warriors traded Wilt Chamberlain to Philadelphia in the 1960s, and he said to stay positive.

It was an awesome victory for this team. It is tough to beat these Arizona schools on this type of a course this time of year, but our guys love to compete and it showed.

It's a good thing we have a week of practice before we play next week, because I think Arizona (Saturday's opponent) is going to be a little more of a challenge.

It might be 100 degrees outside, but in these barns it might be in the 80s. If I were a cow, I would pick Arizona over Florida any day.

It's a rational way to reduce your risk. Most of them are getting caught at least once in the San Diego sector, but it is a more attractive option for many. The smugglers have obviously made that calculation too, that people are more willing to be smuggled through the San Diego sector than through the Arizona desert.

I told them in the huddle that we played Gonzaga and Arizona we played all those overtime games and we've earned the right to win the game. They looked back at me and said, 'Damn right we did.

It's very disheartening. I'm used to kids in an Arizona uniform that play the game hard and play the game as a front-runner. This weekend they played like they were in awe. Hopefully it's a weekend that will help us turn it around.

It's very critical for us to try to get into ... the state of mind of the bishop at the time of the accident, because under Arizona law we must show that he either knew, or that a reasonable person under the circumstances, should have known that he hit a person,

It's very big anytime you have all your guys here. You're able to work on different things. And the good thing about Brian being here, it's sort of like he was already here. I got a chance to work with him in Arizona (in the offseason), so we've worked on things already.

For example, population growth varies from state to state, with states in the Sunbelt attracting new residents from other states. It is reasonable to expect faster-growing states such as Arizona and Nevada to continue to see stronger housing markets.

For Arizonans, there's a particular connection because it was the U.S.S. Arizona and so on December 7, we have a lot of commemorations on the day of the attack, and it's a big part of Arizona life,

For about a two to three week period we weren't getting it done in at No. 3 doubles, and it ended costing us the Arizona match.

The Number 1 issue in Arizona hasn't been a top priority for (Napolitano's) administration until very recently. Everyone is scrambling to try and deal with it. That's a difficult one for all politicians.

It's always a good weekend when we play the Arizona schools. We need to focus on our game and do the little things that make up UCLA softball.

It's like when we beat Arizona and then came back and lost to Arizona State. We just didn't come out with the fire that we normally come out with. I didn't come out ready tonight. We're coming towards the end of the our season and we don't have the fresh legs that we had before, so we've got to do other things out there.

Consumers in Sonora know Arizona Mills. They have been to it. They love it. They know exactly what you are talking about.

Then you had Colorado in there, Arizona State, Michigan and now Ohio State for the second time. That's not a realistic way to re-establish and develop your program.

Even when you get to Triple-A, there's still steps to go through. I want to get to the Arizona Fall League, I want to do some spring training games. I want to do some fill-in games. You try to take it very slow. One of the things we've been preached to our whole careers ; it's a marathon, not a sprint.

That's still out there for us. The way for us to approach it is-just focus in on Arizona State right now. They're very tough at home, very dangerous. It's going to have to be a tough defensive game.

It's like if you lived in Arizona and someone says she was in the Grand Canyon,

It's something that we knew was probably going to be inevitable. We decided to give her the start against UNLV and let her get it out of the way and were able to focus on Arizona the next day.

Everyone at Arizona should learn Spanish, Latin American history and culture, ... It opens doors for learning and jobs. It should be viewed as part of the state heritage.

Not that I'm trying to put myself on the same plateau as coach Olson, but it struck me that he was very successful at Iowa, a well-established program in the Big Ten, and he made a quantum leap to Arizona at a similar stage in his career.

It's an emotional experience. When you go out to the Arizona Memorial or the Punch Bowl cemetery, it brings tears to your eyes.

It's a national issue now. It's not just a California or an Arizona issue. We know that these proponents of drug legalization are promoting it in other states, too.

It's great news for the group of investors we represent. We are in the process of making applications to the Arizona attorney general for our clients pro rata share of the funds seized.

It's important to play national name schools like Florida State and Arizona State. It's important to try to get at least one home schedule series a year with a national- caliber team.

Nothing is more important than the quality of our teachers. The time has come to increase teacher compensation. I proposed a $2,500 tax credit, which, in after-tax dollars, would be the equivalent of a $3,500 raise in gross pay. This would close the two-thirds gap between the average teacher salary in Arizona and the national average .

It was a great win. I'm excited for our team. In the first half we forced 13 turnovers. Our defense was so active. It was misleading. Arizona shot 58 percent. It's astounding they can shoot 58 percent and lose. Usually, you win when you shoot a percentage like that.

I view the players as entertainers. Their job is to entertain you, and although an Arizona Cardinals game might not have that effect, most of them do.

They collapsed under the basket (on defense) better than any Arizona team that I've coached against. That's something all great teams have.

The two initiatives in Arizona and California attempt to sidestep this very important scientific and medical process,

The voters of Arizona will discover that my core values - limited government, economic freedom, secure borders and family values - are their core values.

They can run their hearings any way they want to, I suppose. Employment in Arizona will come to a halt.

They looked great against Arizona State and great against UCLA, save the last eight minutes of the game.

They would like to hear from elected officials. It would be good to contact the Southern Arizona delegation not only in the House but in the Senate.

I want to see how the Arizona plan works out, utilizing the National Guard. It would be more expensive for the state of Texas, ... but if it's successful there, I think we're going to have to perhaps consider that type of plan.

After the Nike camp, I got offered by Kentucky and then Utah and Arizona came by (during spring practice at Woodbridge). And they (Arizona) offered me.

That's a team that went on the road and beat Arizona State and beat us bad down there and I'm happy with the win. I can criticize us after every win but at the end of the day that's a good win for us.

Arizona was a great fit. They did all the right things and they weren't too car-salesman-y.

Arizona State is going to be willing to go to the rim and be aggressive. We have to be aggressive as well. We're not going to extend ourselves on defense. Offensively, we have to do what we can and take what they give us.

Arizona State is a very tough place to compete, and they have a very talented team this year. They're doing very well already, and I don't think they've even come close to reaching their potential.

Arizona State has way too much offense in a pro-style conference for Rutgers, and Rutgers does not impress me at all. The game is in Phoenix although it's not a home game per se for Arizona State (as it takes place at Bank One Ballpark). Rutgers is excited about being there, but that's half the problem. They might be overwhelmed.

Arizona State has some bruisers on their team and they neutralized him a little bit. But Arizona, we don't think they are as tough on the inside and we think Jon could have a big performance. We are looking forward to him just banging in there and being relentless, and eventually we think he can wear on them.

Arizona played very well tonight. They wanted to win and played good hard-nosed lacrosse.

Arizona offers a climate unusually conducive to identity theft.

Arizona is the worst place to spend the summer - it's like 125 degrees - so my mom, my brother and I would go to the beach for two months to escape the heat.

Arizona is the identity theft capital of the world. The Secretary of State's Office needs to do more to prevent the crime before it ever occurs.

Arizona is looked at by the feds and other around the country as a model,

Arizona is home to one of the largest military bases in the country, the Luke Air Force Base.

Arizona is enjoying boom conditions the likes of which it has not seen in more than a decade. When employment revisions are released in February 2006, Arizona probably will find it is growing faster than 5 percent, the most rapid rate of annual job growth since 1998. The housing market is at record levels, and commercial real estate markets should continue to be strong for some time.

Arizona is a wonderful place to live and we've got great weather - although it's a little warm right now - but we've got great facilities, tons of resorts and courts, and there's no reason why we shouldn't have more players coming out of Arizona.

Arizona in my bracket is a 10 seed because they haven't done anything against anybody who's worth a darn. Arizona might be a 16 RPI, but their tournament prospects aren't too good. Fortunately for them, their league stinks.

Arizona has played the toughest schedule by far in our conference, playing some of the top teams in the country. (Olson) had done a good job of what works best.

Arizona has lost some good people, and they play a tough schedule ? probably the toughest in the (conference). They have to dip. With the rest of the (conference) being a bit better, it's understandable to lose a few more games.

Arizona has lagged behind for a long time. Parents are making it very clear they want education. Clearly we can do better.

Arizona, do they change their whole game plan to be like Green Bay? Green Bay had kind of played that defense somewhat where they would roll to a certain side, ... Arizona is not really that type of team. They are an eight-in-the-box kind of football team. So we'll see what happens. But if that doesn't happen that should help our running game, because that's an extra guy out of the box.

Arizona depends on (economic) growth of 8 to 10 percent a year. You can't do that if you have an inflation problem.

Arizona and North Carolina are if not the two best programs then at least in the top five in NCAA history. It's going to be a game of history with coach Olson and Roy Williams.

Arizona already is a recognized leader in government technology, particularly in the use of technology to improve services for our citizens.

I'm not out there actively recruiting all over the country. But there are students who want to go to Penn State who may not be able to get on the main campus right away. Or they may want to play basketball and see we're doing OK, so they inquire about us. I just got a call from a kid from Arizona who wants to come here.

I'm going to a winning team that's looking to repeat, while Arizona was going nowhere.

I'm excited for the challenge of the Arizona Ironman and putting my body through such a test.

I'm excited about where we are, of course, but we will have be better tomorrow in order to keep this going. Arizona and Stanford both have great days tomorrow, so it really comes down to each and every session. Tonight was another good session.

I learned a lot from struggling in Trenton, and Arizona was a confidence booster. It put me in a better frame of mind.

I hope the people at Arizona State realize what just happened. When you talk about the complete and total package of a coach, he's it.

I never once said I was going to change the stigma, ... What I said was I'd make the Arizona Cardinals more like me, and I'd be less like the Arizona Cardinals.

In Arizona (last fall), he was facing better competition, and that required him to use all of his pitches more. That's helped him this spring, and he's looked very good down here.

I'll come in every day and prepare for that one day, two days a week, that I'm able to start. It's been good. I caught him in Arizona for two years. We're pretty comfortable with each other as far as I know.

I just picture a refrigerator truck breaking down in Arizona and sitting there for an afternoon. Then, 'Hey, we got it repaired, and nobody knows the difference,' and there you go.
