Hoping Quotations | Page 4

We're becoming a good hockey team. You obviously want to win the games, but we're getting points over Jacksonville right now. It's a different feeling going into the locker room every night. A couple of months ago, we came into games hoping not to get embarrassed.

We're away the whole of July and home the whole of August. That's not what anybody wants. You're hoping for a balanced season. The way it is structured doesn't help us any.

We're really excited to have such an experienced and talented road course racer added to our team for the Sonoma and Watkins Glen races, ... He was the best driver available to us and we couldn't be happier that his schedule allowed him to be able to participate in both races. Along with Scott Dixon and Ryan Briscoe, we expect the Target Team to be the team to beat out there for these two road course races. We had a strong showing at the first street race in St. Petersburg. We're hoping the addition of Giorgio will help us turn the corner in that department and get to victory lane.

We're really excited about this. I'm really hoping we can fill the ship with people and have a good time.

With the players we lost, we were hoping we'd be happy to be able to put together a formidable defense,

With what we had this year, I was hoping to end .500. When we were 2-6, I checked out schedule out and I said, 'I don't know if we can pull that off.' But our kids played their hearts out.

We knew what we needed to do to improve. We targeted some guys and we were hoping to get one or two of them. You never expect to get your whole wish list and we almost did that.

We let the other side put on their case, and they took a record and they kind of threw stuff on the wall, hoping it stuck, ... We could have rebutted all of it, and we didn't.

We know we've got a good, solid team. We're a balanced team and we've played an extremely tough schedule. We are just hoping that has prepared us enough to do well in this tournament.

We know we have to work very closely together and we're hoping the situation we experienced Friday won't be replicated.

waiting until the end of the year and crossing our fingers and hoping that our students will pass.

Very exciting -- very exciting for me and the family. We think that we definitely had the best horse in the race. Was hoping to get a good, clean race and he did.

Ultimately, we're hoping to expand this further (beyond Boston).

would be like not spraying your fields and hoping the weeds will stay away.

Woods are built to get the ball into the air quicker. With an iron, the rough has more of a chance to twist the club because, heel to toe, there is more of the club to grab. As long as these holes are, I'm just hoping to drive it in the fairway. I can't compete from the rough. I have to drive it in play and go from there.

We're still optimistic and hoping the rain will stop. We'll see what Mother Nature give us.

We're still hoping to resolve the situation peacefully.

We're still hoping to achieve a consensual agreement.

We're still hoping someone says, 'We'll jump in and help you out,'

We're still hoping for a big rebound in export volumes this year, but we're certainly off to a shaky start. We think there's plenty of demand and that prices will be sustained -- it's just getting the product out there.

We're still following some leads. With every lead we get, we're hoping it turns over another new lead.

We're starting to play like we know we can, and it's been since Wyatt's been in there. It's a different feeling when you know something's going to work instead of hoping it's going to work.

We're right there with everybody else. The division's tight. We were hoping to get closer to Calgary (on Sunday), but it didn't work out. Guys have worked hard all year and we're right in it.

We're right on schedule to make it. Our goal is to get 100,000-plus if we can do that, and I'm hoping we'll be able to do that. But we're doing very well.

We're looking forward to a game. We're hoping to play. It seems like it's been a month. Once you start playing, that's a long time to not be playing.

We're looking for him to develop a level of consistency where we can count on him for whatever it is, try to define his role and see how far he can take it. He has some good tools and now he has his opportunity to take a step forward and we're hoping he can do that.

We've got a young team and we're hoping to come on. They're getting better, but we want to bring them up with warp speed, and it's like a turtle's pace.

We've tried to put our lineup in a situation where we have somebody behind him. We're just hoping that if they do pitch around him, we can get the job done.

We have no evidence that he is deceased right now. We are hoping for a rescue.

We have no choice but to pull Scott out. I am hoping that the fight can be rescheduled for later in the month but I just don't know what the prospects of that happening are at the moment.

We have some deep areas that we're trying to clear a path, but the snow is really hard and tough to move. We're hoping for some warm weather before then. I don't think home field advantage will make much of a difference; conditions will make the biggest difference.

What the sub is going to start to do is locate things on GPS from stem to stern, then in other dives we're going to be hoping to find information on the damage to the hull, and potential for damage to propeller blades and to the rudder.

We wanted to win the state last year, but we're hoping to do it this year.

We were a real explosive offensive team at times last year, but we weren't as consistent as we need to be. I'm hoping our leadership and experience will make us more consistent, everybody buckling down and being tougher.

We were an extremely young football team last year and played some freshmen, and we were hoping that would pay off. But we elected to just not talk a whole lot about last year.

We were trying to send a message to them. Maybe they were coming in hoping for the sweep. Hopefully when we get on a neutral floor, we'll do the same thing we did at home.

We were hoping Whispering Pines would fill the need for housing, but it looks like some of our people will make too much to qualify.

We were hoping we would not get sucked into that kind of a game, but it's much easier said than done, look, they've done it twice. Coach (Paul) Jeppesen is a solid coach who has been around, and he had those guys playing the way they needed to beat us.

we were hoping we would get some local interest from people who already knew . . . and were known in the community.

We were hoping we would both be able to win one. And that's how it turned out.

We were hoping we were going to get bonus points there, ... Jacob went out there and got the job done.

We were hoping we'd see them. We'll be ready for them.

We were hoping we could get that one over in five innings. We're still looking for that No. 2 pitcher. We didn't have the same intensity and focus we had last night (at St. Al). That was a big win last night, and it seemed like we left some of our intensity in Vicksburg.

We were hoping to working out something with Group Health for one of their surface parking lots. We had many long conversations on the subject and made them an offer last fall. But we got the word back last month, and they said no.

We were hoping to try for a top five in the points and now we're trying to hold on for a top 10,

We were hoping to play at home so friends and family members could see us. If they want to support us, they're going to have to go to a little warmer weather.

We were hoping to move back home this weekend, but not now.

We were hoping to keep it quiet. You know my dad. He didn't want this to take any attention away from the Final Four.

We were hoping to keep cruising through the OCC and get a win (against the Raiders) and still have a shot at the title, but we've still been playing very well lately to be on a seven-game winning streak.

We were hoping to initiate a conversation with them that would lead to an agreed-upon schedule,

We were hoping to have some more schools show up, but they just didn't want to come. I don't understand it.

We were hoping to have had something accomplished by now, or earlier, but we certainly have to respect that.

We were hoping to have a working model on display, instead we have simulations.

We were hoping to have a shot at winning our own tournament but we knew Glass was going to be strong. I am very proud of them.

We were hoping to have a few more teams here, but you can't complain about the conditions or anything. I was worried about how we'd come out when New Town didn't come, but we were ready to run.

We were hoping to have a decision by the end of this year, but now it looks like the first quarter of next year.

We were hoping to have a better game to solidify us as a legitimate team. We'll be OK. We're on solid ground. We have 13 guys who are all legitimate, good players and on any give day any one of them can get the job done.

We were hoping to go under eight minutes. Our leadoff leg went 2:04 today; he's usually more of a two-flat, and our second guy, he went 2:06, and he's usually more of a 2:02. Right there that's six seconds that could have put us back in the mix, but when you get out there just never know what's going to happen.

We were hoping to go into the WAC Tournament off a couple better performances than we had at San Jose and Fresno, but I think we're still very confident. We had a pretty good run during the regular season. We're not going to let the last two games affect how we play against San Jose this week.

We were hoping to get the team right after this tournament. We were hoping some guys would play good and we'd say OK this is our five guys.

We were hoping to get some momentum from that, but we didn't come out with the right intensity. For whatever reason, our attention wasn't there.

We were hoping to get second, but we didn't quite get there. But we ran very, very well.

We were hoping to get off to a start like this, ... We've played well at times this season, we've played inconsistent at times. The biggest thing is the confidence this win will give our team for the second half of the season.

We were hoping to get John going 1-on-1 and creating, either looking to score himself or dishing to one of the big guys underneath or a shooter on the wing. We didn't run the play correctly.

We were hoping to get four innings. He's carried us before in some tough 1-0, 2-0 losses, so this time his teammates picked him up.

We were hoping to get away early, but we were unpleasantly surprised.

We were hoping to get a spark from anybody. We're a team that, for us to win, we have to have a couple of guys step up and play better than we'd all consider normal.

We were hoping to get a few more district qualifiers. The positive is that all three of our guys who made it were sectional champs. I was pleased with how hard the team competed all day.

We were hoping to get a dramatic demonstration.

We were hoping to get a couple of other guys through to Madison, but it just didn't happen. We knew Brad was going to do well, but we thought a couple of other guys might get through, too. It just didn't happen. But we're very pleased that Brad is going back to state.

We were hoping to get a break or two to get ourselves started.

We were hoping to get a better handle on it. We knew the plume was fairly widespread. I think the testing changed our perspective from looking for one source to looking for multiple sources.

We were hoping to force turnovers and get some easy baskets, which we did.

We were hoping to finally have everyone together but now it's just going to take a bit longer.

We were hoping to end it early at that point.

We were hoping to define an era and a community without being too lecturing - to show people having a good time. On camera and off, Dave is charming. I thought it would be good to follow him around with a camera because he generates so much warmth.

We were hoping to build a small, profitable company. And of course, what we've done is build a large, unprofitable company.

We were hoping to be playing for the district title in this game. We know we have to win out to have a chance. The kids were prepared and when they've been prepared they've played well.

We were hoping to be able to make some plays, but it was the same old story. We booted some routine plays and gave them some extra outs and we paid for it.

We'll see who develops. That's what I'm hoping for.

We are all hoping that the news does not get steadily worse as the day progresses but we are fearful that the casualty figures may mount and that international support may be needed.

We are all hoping he'll be able to give us some indication as to what occurred. We don't know that he'll be able to do that.

We always go in hoping we have several contributors. I think that was a product of bad shooting (against Sammamish).

We also will do some music that is representative of the country that we are visiting. We brought in a native of Croatia who moved here a few years ago and speaks the language. So we were able to teach the boys some words and pronunciation and she was nice enough to bring us folk songs and the national anthem of Croatia. We learned those things and are hoping to do them while we are on tour. It is nice to show people you are making an attempt to learn a little bit about their language and culture.

We are very focused on hoping that these negotiations do succeed,

We want students to think about how they schedule their classes on the campus where they live and park. We're hoping to get people on buses instead of driving, especially during peak times.

We are hoping it will be the great awakening. This is not just going on with just Delphi, but the airline industry and corporate America. We're hoping this will get the attention of the public and Capitol Hill.

We are hoping it's not. Even if it's not something serious, it's going to set him back a little bit anyways.

We are hoping it isn't going to come to that,

We are hoping in Windows Vista to dramatically drive this number down so most tasks that users need to complete, they'll be able to compete as standard users. User account control will be one of the most valuable areas for enterprises.

We are hoping he will play the first test. We'll assess the situation at the end of the tour match.

We are hoping he will be able to play. It depends on how he can go in practice. I know he is still in pain.

We are hoping he doesn't play, he is aware of that but we will have to see how the season pans out.

We are hoping for the best and preparing for the worst...I'm still hoping we can get some of these people out alive.

We are hoping for others to come up big. I do expect Stephanie Clark to have a better season.

We are hoping for at least 200,000 and those are our minimal expectations.

We are hoping for a second-quarter opening - possibly June.

We are hoping for a limited theatrical release in the US, but I think our big market will be DVD.

We are hoping for a great turnout this year and also for great weather on the day of the tournament.

We are hoping Dr. Varney and FOCUS will tell residents to answer our questions so we can get a proper assessment of the community.
