Hoping Quotations | Page 7

I was seeded somewhere in the middle to the lower part of the final flight. I was hoping to get fourth or fifth. I popped out a 19-10 on my last jump and it held up. I can't complain about that.

I was so hoping my beloved Saints would get there but I'm still thrilled to be part of one of the great days on the Australian sports calendar.

I wouldn't call it looting. What I have seen is desperate people kind of wandering around here in downtown Gulfport. There are a lot of police here in Gulfport, so you can't get away with looting. But I have seen people picking stuff up from the wreckage. I saw a man with two bottles of olive oil. He was hoping to try to cook something up. He says he has no water. He doesn't really have much of a place to go. So there are a lot of people just desperately in need.

I would have thought maybe that's the sort of information we might be hoping to get from people who are actually moving hazardous goods through our jurisdiction. We have some pretty tricky areas, particularly in West Vancouver. You're right in the midst of residential.

I wish there was a better way to make the front page of USA Today than to have my house blown down, ... I was hoping it would be on passing health care for reservists or something.

I would go down by the kitchen to eat lunch with the other coaches every day hoping he'd be there, just to listen to some of the stories he would tell about the old days and what happened way back when. I'll always remember that.

I would have liked more close games, obviously. We switched around a lot. It was a clean, good start. I hope we get better games tonight and I'm hoping with the marquee teams we have tomorrow and going into the weekend, we'll have closer action on the court.

I would have 55 dogs if I could. I'm hoping one day to open my own shelter.

I wish I could say I wanted to be batting like this at this point in the year, but I can't say that. It's nice. I'm hoping to keep it up.

I was pleased with our effort in the first half. Norristown's a dangerous team and our hats are off to them. I was just hoping we could hold on, because the last two weeks we've lost some real heartbreakers and this would have sent us into cardiac, I think, if we lost this one here.

I guess I'm hoping I'll get hit or something, and then I'll have to put it on.

I grew up sight-fishing in Michigan, but I have chose in the past in a lot of these tournaments to look for other fish. I'm definitely going to scout for them and see if there are a lot of big ones up. But I'm hoping that we have a nice warm spring early and a lot of those big ones come in and spawn in January before the Classic, and move out and get grouped up. That's the kind of fish that I like to fish for.

If we don't respond on the road, we don't deserve to go anywhere. But we're in the (WAC) race, so I'm hoping we turn it around here.

If we're hoping to spoil their season ... , ... well, we're just trying to win.

I got scared. I was hoping that he would throw up.

If they don't have access to a computer, they can come to the Housing Authority and we will help them. We're hoping people take the opportunity to go online and fill it out there.

I have faith in the bargaining committee, so I'm hoping it was a fair deal,

I don't have a lot of answers today. I was hoping to be a little farther along than this at this point in the season.

I don't have anything to prove. I don't think I will be judged by this game. I'm hoping the rest of the season counts more, mostly the league.

I don't have kids, but I know that you want them to follow their dreams, while at the same time, you don't want them to be sitting around, hoping that dream is just going to come. I'm sure that's hard to tell your kids.

I didn't want to be on the court so long. I was hoping I would have an easier match, I mean a shorter one. Conditions were very difficult and I'm just happy to get through. The wind was really swirling around and it was difficult to play at both ends of the court.

I don't get many chances like that, but I'll take them. I was hoping for a rebound. I didn't expect a layup.

I'd like to have a third and a fourth. I'm hoping to stay away from injuries. We need more bodies because we barely have enough to perform.

I'd love to win, there's no doubt about it. I'm hoping that I'm going to win and win many times and win big tournaments.

I'd like to run in the Travers. I was hoping he would step up today. He's got a great style now. He's got a great burst of speed. It was tough to get him here. But I think we've got a good thing lined up.

I'd like to keep the combination going and I'm hoping he runs the following week.

I don't know what to expect, I really don't, ... I hope it's electrifying. I hope the fans are in it and they cheer a lot and they're loud when Buffalo's offense is out there, so they can't hear the signals. We're hoping for a great environment, and I think they're going to like what they see.

I don't know what the future holds, I'm just hoping for a fair go from people. I haven't done anything wrong for 10 years now.

I don't know that has an effect whatsoever on David. I'm not an advocate of lifetime deals. David is 25. If he signs a five-year deal now, he's hoping to get another.

I don't know what happened. I came ready to play and was hoping for another result. ... Everything was laid out for us, we just didn't get it done.

I don't know when those other egg-lings were laid. I'm just hoping it was three weeks ago, and they're going to hatch in a week, and we can start pumping.

I don't know whether we'll get them done. I'm hoping we can.

I don't know what's behind it all. I'm hoping some of the tests will be definitive one way or the other.

I don't know what I was thinking - my mind was pretty much blank, hoping that I'd make the shot. But when I let that one go, I felt pretty good about it.

I couldn't imagine Darwin hoping for a stronger confirmation of his ideas than what we see when we compare the human and chimp genomes.

I coached PL back in season 1997-98 and really enjoyed it. I have happy memories of my time there. We've not got our troubles to seek with injuries just now so I'm hoping there are no shocks this weekend.

I am expecting six medals and hoping for eight. Our Sport England target is eight, which is very stiff indeed but it is up to us to rise to the challenge.

I am confident we will succeed in forming the national unity government that all Iraqis are hoping for.

I am greatly honored to be here. I was anticipating this and hoping they would contact me. I am glad they did.

I am kind of hoping he has a better year this year. If Dale Jr. wins, I always buy a round on the house.

I am going into the talks totally confident, hoping that we will re-establish the legal republican order throughout Ivory Coast,

I am hoping we won't have that (many unidentified bodies), but I think we will,

I am hoping we still have a chance of getting him. The chairman is working on it and that's all you can ask.

I am hoping we can get close to that this year and hopefully play a little bit smarter. And be able to play within our own game. Some of the them don't have the best strokes, but be able to play a game that they can win even though they don't have the fanciest strokes and foot work.

I am hoping to work with writers publishing books for first time, since I of course remember what that experience is like. It's all a bit of a mystery for new authors who don't know what to expect.

I am hoping to keep every kid on the team moving forward. I just want the kids to do well.

I am hoping to have a less dramatic race this year.

I am hoping to do the same dunks I did last year. Hopefully I will perfect them.

I am hoping this is my year to have children. I understand that I am possibly more European in my views of marriage. I am not going to say I'm not going to get married, but it's not my priority.

I am hoping they will both get a full 90 minutes under their belts.

I am hoping there will be enough demand where I can move from one performance Saturday night to additional late-night shows. Eventually, I'd love to have Cabaret, other shows and stand up (comedy). I want to see a lot of different art forms using this place constantly.

I am hoping that we will be able to seriously find out who exactly they were and what they were doing.

I am hoping that Wayne will ask to coach again next year.

I am hoping I can turn my form around as it is a lifelong ambition of mine to represent Europe in the Ryder Cup. The first European Tour event I will play in is the South African Open, but in the meantime I will be trying to improve my world ranking as that's another way of qualifying.

I am hoping for the same here. I have a lot to prove and am still ambitious. A new club is just what I needed.

I am hoping for a big year out of Cory. He had a great year last year and has worked hard to improve.

I am hoping and praying they open school (on time), ... You have to try and compromise and work together, but don't let the kids suffer.

I am just hoping we play well. If we play well it will be a good game. If we don't it could get ugly pretty quick. They (the players) are prepared and in shape. It is up the kids now. The coaches can't go out and play the game. All we can do is prepare them the best we can.

I am just hoping we can get a picture together after the game. Twenty years down the line it's going to be really neat that we played against each other and that we spent the week together.

I am just hoping to start playing a little bit more and get my momentum, timing, position and patience back, ... It feels good just being out there.

I am just hoping to get to conference play on a positive note. A win tomorrow (Wednesday) will hopefully set us on the right path.

I am amazed by the response. There are more volunteers than there are people actually displaced. People stood in lines in the parking lot hoping to get in to have the chance to volunteer.

I bet $5,000, ... Kido calls and raises $20,000. The other guy and I call the $20,000 rather quickly, hoping that it goes check-check on the river.

I am running for mayor of this great town because clearly Herndon is at a crossroads, from which we desperately need to move towards a more united direction. I've always been very interested in the town, and when I started circulating my petitions, my neighbors really encouraged me to do it. It also felt like their voices had not been heard, so I am hoping to give them a voice.

I am red-hot now on challenges. That was a big play. . . We didn't get a chance to really look at it, but we kind of threw that flag hoping the ball hit the ground.

I am really hoping for a trouble-free weekend as the car feels good and I feel I can get some good results in it.

I am really excited about the fact that Ohio State is honoring Woody Hayes while Coach Royal will be there. I think that is really cool. I am hoping that Earl Campbell goes up and sits with Archie Griffin. That is good stuff for college football fans.

I am ready for the return leg. I will give everything I have to help my team win, hoping that it will be sufficient.

I am quite happy to be back here after my victory two years ago and I am hoping to go to Shanghai, ... It is extra motivation to be top seed. But there are still other players who can win here and who I still need to beat.

I am pumped to come back to Laredo because this is where I wanted to be, ... Losing in the Finals last season left a bitter taste in my mouth and we are hoping to win it all this year.

I am so thankful we didn't trade him. I was always hoping that it wouldn't happen.

I am still speaking to people in Spain and I am still hoping we can do a deal, but it has become a drawn-out process. The fact almost everyone here is heading for Finland in the next few hours has made it more difficult, but it might still be done.

Cassie is able to draw so much attention so every game someone else steps up and Brede was that one tonight. We were hoping someone would be on. She had some huge shots for us.

But they've just taken that out now so we're hoping it won't be too long before we can take her home,

But, it was a road he had the physical ability to travel. Once again, at this point it was a question more of his personality than his ability. We were hoping and still hope we could send him to Europe and he could show he'd fit in socially and physically.

But that's not me. I feel most alive when I'm being challenged, when there is pressure involved. I felt like I was dying as a football player. And I always felt that I've never met my potential as a football player in this league. I was hoping to get one more chance. I didn't think I would.

Butt has a chance and we are hoping he can join in full training towards the end of the week.

Burrell has been in a slump, but he's playing out of it. I'm hoping he's getting back to his old self.

Bullying is a national problem. Middle school seems to be the time that bullying (by males) and relational aggression (by females) is at its worst and is most painful for kids. While there are programs to help curb bullying, we're hoping to help teachers build character in fourth and fifth grade students to prevent bullying in middle school.

But even if they have a $7 ticket, if you take off a $10 penalty, that's more than a 50 percent savings from what they owe, and so I'm hoping it will get their attention and bring them in.

Basically, we're hoping the rain and snowmelt will subside enough to get the middle and lower rivers back in shape so we don't have to fish those terminal areas any longer. Hopefully we'll have some wild fish to catch and release.

Basically I was hoping there was going to be some slamming and banging and some guys getting knocked down and I was just waiting for holes to open up.

China firmly supports the WTO talks on the Doha Development Agenda, hoping the imminent Hong Kong meeting will achieve substantive progress.

Chris is new here and he has some great ideas. We're hoping to build a core strength program that will help our kids to accomplish their goals.

I'm a little surprised. I was struggling earlier. It's hard not to make a mistake. I was hoping to at least back up my time from the first run, but we'll take it. We're here for fun, but if we're not the fastest we're mad.

I have a great feeling here, I won last year and I am hoping to do the same again.

I have a great deal of respect for people who stay in a program without the benefit of a scholarship and go through the grind every day, just hoping for that one time when they are able to put a uniform on and play in the college game. There are a lot of guys around the country who do that, and you have a great deal more respect for those guys than the guys who play on scholarship.

I have kids sign the walls so they would feel like it's their place too. We get a lot of families and college students and we are hoping they will come back this year.

I felt, for the first time in my career, that I was directing a stage production more than a motion picture. Part of directing is psychotherapy. You're sitting there with a lot of very talented patients, and you're hoping your movie doesn't blow up in your face in anarchy.

I find out that I'm going to play a player that's totally different from him. I always wanted to play him as a kid. I'm hoping I get another chance.

I finished the game, I'm OK. I knew I was not going to be a big factor. I was hoping they'd play the checking line against us. It still didn't work.

I first went to India because of my interest in yoga, hoping to go to the Iyengar Centre in Pune for a while. That didn't work out, but I ended up on a beach in Goa, writing.

I feel that in my novel I'm trying to re-address that imbalance and allow people to see that Norma Jeane was quite sensitive and intelligent, ... She read a great deal, she tried to write poetry. She was hoping to be a serious actress. But in a sense, it was too late because the American public just wanted the stereotype from her.

I feel like it's getting better because it doesn't bother me as much when I put weight on it. I'm hoping within a week or two weeks after Tampa Bay, I'll be available.

I did my job last year, and I was hoping to stay in Chicago, ... I'm so happy right now.

I can't say that I am disappointed about anything with this team. I am hoping they can regroup as a team and play their best basketball in the tournament.

I can't get out of my head the visions of children and babies I saw sitting there, helpless, looking at me and hoping I could make a difference... .

I can't remember the last time we took a break midseason like this. I'm hoping we can step up and improve where we've been. We've run tired early in the season, more so than what I would have expected. We've had some good workouts and we've lightened up a little bit. It's time for the kids to start picking it up.

I can't say what happened before because I didn't know him then. And, you know, I kind of choose to leave him his privacy. But I know that right now we're hoping not to have a gap. We're planning to do another one soon.

I can't imagine Darwin hoping for a stronger confirmation of his ideas.
