Missed Quotations | Page 7

It is about time. I've had a couple chances called back and in the first half I missed one I should have scored on. The first one is always the hardest, but now I can relax a little bit.

I think the kids played really hard. But we missed some shots there that we normally make. That was the difference in the game.

I thought he did a great job. He missed a couple (of passes) and he forced one that was a bonehead play. Other than that, he did a great job running the offense.

I thought he did a great job, ... He missed a couple (of passes) and he forced one that was a bonehead play. Other than that, he did a great job running the offense.

I thought early on we missed a few shots that we'd been making normally. We lost a little composure early on and became hesitant.

I thought, defensively, we were good enough to win the game. We had a lot of opportunities offensively and just missed some baskets we normally have made.

I thought Carrie Mason was the best I've ever seen her. Obviously, she missed just one shot. Her shot selection was tremendous. She hit big shots when she need to. She hit all of her free throws. She ran the team and she did a great job. Virginia Tech did a good job of making the extra pass which is shown by the 18 assists. That's what you've got to do against a defense that's going to come at you. That's to penetrate and then find the next one. They did a tremendous job of that.

I thought a couple of times we had mental lapses, and (Tattnall Square) took advantage of those couple of times. Overall, I thought we played well. We had a few missed assignments, and we left them open for 3-pointers and they hit every one we left them open for.

I think the European finance ministers had an opportunity on Monday to scare off bullish euro investors by threatening intervention or rate cuts to undo euro strength. They missed that opportunity.

I think the big play was when they had the ball on the goal line and we stood them up three plays and shut them down. The missed field goal turned things right there.

I think the biggest issue is that men historically have had opportunities to start developing competitive skills at a very young age, whereas most women didn't. So a lot of women athletes missed out on the opportunity to work out all those complex emotions that happen in fierce competition. Rather than genetic differences, I've found that the real differences go away when males and females have equal competitive experiences beginning at a young age. That's happening more in our culture, and no question the top women athletes of the future are going to be just as tough and focused as the top men.

It is funny, we were in almost the identical situation last year and didn't recover. Last year, though, we kind of went in the tank and missed the playoffs because of that. We put ourselves in the same situation as last year, but this time, we responded the way we needed to.

It is good to get the first win. We did well offensively, but made some base running errors and missed some execution. But you expect that in the first game.

Lake Stevens came out tonight and played mistake-free basketball. We committed too many turnovers and missed a lot of shots that we have been making in the past.

I was a farmer during the Depression and didn't have many toys-and I missed that. We decided to collect toys because it's a lot larger hobby and the items hold their value so much better than other things.

I was concerned about that inning because it was like all of a sudden we can't get the bunt down, then we execute the hit-and-run and we get in the same situation and then all of a sudden we can't get any runs out of it. It was frustrating. We missed a squeeze play, so we've got to get better on those types of plays.

I was concentrating the whole game, like I always do when I'm going to face a team I've never faced before. I just wanted to get ahead, and I think I was doing that. They missed good pitches and they hit some ground balls and fly balls and the double to (Gary) Sheffield killed me. You always want to get the first hitter.

I thought we came out on fire at first. Then we let them get back into the game with a lot of lapses defensively. We were hot with the three and then we missed a few and kept shooting them. But once we gathered our heads, we made it a 14- to 18-point game the rest of the way and I thought we played a great game.

I thought we played really hard tonight. Even though we have had some disappointing losses the kids still fought. We played well we just missed some open shots.

I thought we played pretty well tonight. We had our chances in Game 1 but missed a serve and had two bad passes.

I thought we played much better in the second half, but we missed bunnies, shots our players would normally make, late in the game. These things happen. It's not the end of the world. You just change your focus and get ready for the next game. Like with a win, you have to forget about it and move on to the next game. You have to do the same with a loss like this.

I thought we played hard tonight. We kind of had a pop to our step most of the game. We made too many mistakes and missed too many shots.

I thought we got off to a really slow start. We missed a lot of shots and that took us out of it.

I thought we did some good things defensively. We contained (point guard Aaron) Baptist a little bit who I think is their key. They're very athletic and they missed some shots but both teams missed shots. They're a good basketball team. I'm proud of our effort. I just want us to keep working hard against good teams like this.

I thought we missed too many easy shots. We made some good shots, but we missed a lot of easy ones.

I thought we missed a lot of shots that put us in a bind. We did not execute too well on offense, but I think our teamwork and the hustle were the difference in the game.

I thought we missed a lot of good shots.

I thought we had the better chances. We had one wide open shot that we missed and a couple of chances on breakaways.

I thought the kids played hard. We had couple that missed some days of practice. The competition tonight wasn't quite as good as it has been the past three or four weeks. But the kids played clean and did a good job.

I thought the first half defense was very good. I wish we could have scored some points there to get a lead. We missed our first 10 shots to start the game, we had good shots that we have to be able to make. We didn't make them and kept them in the game.

I thought they played very hard and were executing. We had very few missed tackles, which is very big this time of year. We made some plays, came up with some takeaways. You can see the effort was just tremendous.

I thought they did OK. I thought they missed some calls, but they missed calls both ways. I don't think it affected the outcome of the game.

I thought there were times (against South Carolina) when guys created off the dribble and didn't find him. I thought he should have gotten up 10 or 11 shots. There was three or four or five times when our guys missed him. Our team has got to do a better job of recognizing when he's open and getting him the basketball.

I thought that we missed an opportunity, we out shot Racine Park but we are not disciplined playing defense. We took third place in the tournament, but we could have done better, we came out with a winning record, but it was disappointing as a whole.

I thought that we made that play at first on Erstad's at-bat, but the umpire said we missed the bag.

I thought that was the difference. We missed a quick shot then he made six in a row and that gets it to nine. You hate them making a run at the end of a quarter because you have to sub and it just gets worse from there.

I thought (Stafford) looked good, threw the ball well. He missed a couple, rushed it with his feet, but for his first time going out there in the stadium, I thought he was calm and didn't show any signs of being nervous. He was ready to play.

I thought she was driving off and had missed our stop. I went down immediately and slammed the brake hard (with my hand).

I think we had some good looks early. We just missed them. If we make those shots we might get off on a roll.

I think we had missed a loose ball and he just dove in the middle of the huddle.

I think we got very tentative after some individuals missed their first shots. I told them that as long as they are good shots, they have to keep shooting. We need them to.

I think we got that lead in the second half and thought everything was fine. Instead, we need to build on that. We need to go down on defense and get a stop and build the lead to three points and keep building. Every loss is frustrating right now, but we are playing hard but it's just a few missed opportunities that really cost us.

I think we moved the ball, but something would bog the drive down. Either it was a penalty or a turnover or something. We definitely missed some opportunities.

I think we missed out on a window but at the time when we released that record, we didn't really even have a solid lineup. Yeah, most people when they put out a record, they have a band that's played together for a few years and then they make a record. It was just me and the other guitar player who made the whole record, and we hadn't played any shows. I met the bass player at the photo shoot. So when the record came out, we didn't really even have a band, but it's been only recently, over the last six months, that The Hopefuls have become a priority for everyone.

I think we missed at least three tackles. The first gunner (Hawkins), a guy behind him and the guy behind him. It was a good punt.

I think we kind of hung our heads after we missed a couple of shots early on. It affected us on both ends of the court.

I think we just had a couple of missed opportunities.

I think we did a great job of not giving up the big play. There were some missed tackles, but overall I was pleased. I keep telling people that we are going to be solid on defense, and if we can build on today's performance, we will be in good shape.

I think we outplayed them. We had tons of shots; they didn't go in for us. We missed the net and hit the pipe I don't know how many times. The goalie stood on her head. We had our chances.

I thought out guys played hard. We missed ton of shots in the last seven minutes, open shots.

I thought our guys really battled. We're obviously disappointed by the result. We missed some opportunities late, and Heath made some big shots.

I think we were anxious. Anxious is a great word for that. We missed some easy baskets, missed some free throws, made turnovers on the fast break, things like that, some things we normally don't do.

I think we showed a little character. We kind of hung in there and that was nice to see. We missed some shots and made some funny choices with what we wanted to do with the basketball, but we managed to win the game.

I think that first game was a bit of an anomaly. We shot like 20 percent from the field and missed our first 10 shots. We were just out of it.

I think a lot of them are wondering if they may have missed out on him.

I think anxious is a great word for that. We missed some easy baskets and some free throws...things we don't normally do. But once we settled down, we were fine.

I think after a while, after we start missing the easy shots, I think we start pressing a little bit and trying to make up for the easy shots that we missed and we just continued to miss. At one point I remember looking at the clock when we had 33 points and I don't remember the next time we scored. Then, the same thing happened in the third quarter when we just could not make a shot.

I think a couple of times he missed his shot.

I think it was a situation on this night that (Tech) missed a lot of shots. We were obviously taller and longer, so we could get those rebounds.

It happens. We missed some shots and they hit some shots. It's a tough loss, but it's not like an end-of-the-season loss. We just have to go back into the gym and get ready for New Jersey on Tuesday.

I think we came out of halftime a little flat. They came out and attacked us. We missed a couple key shots that I thought we should have made and we didn't react well to that.

I think us sitting out together, watching the Phoenix game, we really both couldn't wait to get back in and help our team. I think it showed that we missed being out there and we wanted to do whatever we could to help the team get a win.

It is not really responsible behavior. It is not well brought-up behavior. They missed a good opportunity to keep quiet.

I think that's what made me better. That year off, seeing other guys play, knowing I'd missed the opportunity to be out there. After that, I couldn't quit. I won't quit. I can't put my head down after that.

I think that we can all go home until after Thanksgiving and we probably won't have missed much. We are probably going to go sideways to downwards for the next week or so.

I think that was the highlight of the meet. He has missed state for three years. To get that pressure off for him is great.

I think that was an edge that we've missed, and missed a lot more than people think.

It is immensely disappointing to be knocked out of the Champions League but this evening part of our supporters also missed a great chance.

I think we're going to take one day at a time. I think that if he does what we expect him to do this year, no one's going to look back and say whether he missed a spring training game or not.

Last year I missed a free throw in a game against East. Just one, but we were down by two. So every single game now, I practice my free throws. I shot about 100 free throws this morning so just in case a situation like that came up in this game, I could knock them down.

I went into the training room after the game and Jon had tears in his eyes as I talked to him, ... I said, 'You must be in unbelievable pain.' He says, 'No, I was just thinking next Saturday is going to be the first Michigan football game I have missed in 30-some years.'

I was walking about 35, 40 minutes after surgery. They gave me a cane to walk out on and I carried it. It was pretty amazing. I got a little swelling, but it doesn't bother me to walk or do anything. The only day I missed throwing was the day I had the surgery.

I watched movies. It was boring. I thought it was way too long. I like the atmosphere at Western and I missed it at home.

I was always scheduled to be done Friday. I missed my two girls growing up, so if I have it in my control, I get here if I possibly can.

I was able to read the winds pretty well, but some of my shots only narrowly missed greens, adding to my frustration. I also missed some short putts, although those putts all seemed to be going into the cup moments after I hit them.

I will play. I have not missed a league game and I can have a weekend off when we play North Walsham in the cup final.

I was just trying to get on base. He fell behind, 3-0. On 3-1, I had a good pitch to hit, too, and I just missed it foul. He came back with the same pitch and I knew I got it that time.

I was just fortunate enough that he missed a spot on his fastball. I guess that's what you're supposed to do with it.

I was just disappointed. You know, Adam has been a big part of this team for a number of years and his game-winning kicks, Super Bowl kicks, and all that, so he will be missed by his teammates, but it's just the nature of the business. He will be forever etched in the memories of New England sports fans.

I think they did a good job defensively, but we just didn't shoot that well. Some of the shots were contested, but we missed a lot of wide-open shots.

I think the turning point was the missed PK. That made a difference.

I think the whole company is too complicated, and they missed every opportunity with AOL. I don't like Carl Icahn, either.

I think the missed free throws hurt us worse than the turnovers did.

It is a problem that is solvable, ... They (Iraq) had a chance to do it and missed it. But I hope that they are serious about solving it through diplomatic means, that they will make the right gestures.

It is a pity that we missed out on the points but that was not the best afternoon for me.

I think there's a lot of (college) coaches at this tournament that are wondering where they missed her.

I think there were times when we definitely missed Ben. It seemed like we'd make a stop on defense, but we couldn't convert on the other end. I think if we had Ben in there, we would have had more of a flow on offense and he could have helped us get some better shots.

I thought we were a little intimidated inside. They were guarding us one-on-one and daring us to go to the basket. We missed way too many inside shots.

I thought we were a little bit overwhelmed early. We had some unforced turnovers and missed some open shots. But they're big, strong and intimidating.

Just because you weren't alive during that period doesn't mean that you can't go back and love it. We all love the same bands ? The Clash, Public Image, The Police, Minor Threat and Joy Division. We missed out on that golden era, but we love what was recorded then.

Just finishing my chances and making better passes. I don't think I've done anything differently. I've been working harder and harder because I've been missing chances. I've been creating them, but I haven't been scoring them. I was a little frustrated today that I missed the first two, but then I was relieved to get the goal and help out on the third one.

Jermaine is a top player in this league. He missed a lot of games (this season) and it's taken him a while to get his conditioning and his rhythm back. Fortunately for us, he's hitting his stride at a good time.

Jermaine is a top player in this league and we all know he's missed a lot of games. Fortunately he's hitting his stride at a good time. We need him to continue to play at that kind of level for us to have success in the series.

Jason got hurt again in practice last week and missed three days. He played pretty well in the second half against Clarksville and we're confident that he'll be all right to start against Bentonville.

Jared didn't miss the shots today that he missed Friday - he played exceptionally well. The kid from Quincy didn't play as well - he was trying to hit it too hard. But Jared did a good job of staying patient and under control.

Jessica showed tremendous leadership tonight. Taylor has missed some time, but she has come on and gave us a big spark tonight.

Jessica is the true example of a Virginia student-athlete. Her passion and love for the University of Virginia and the softball program is unmatched. Her leadership will be greatly missed when she leaves.

Kyle is a good athlete with good speed and he has worked hard in the off-season. Pat has excellent size and has also worked hard. Phil missed last year because of an injury but is athletic and has played well.

Kumble came in front of me in his follow through and it was not possible for me to run the quick single, it was unfortunate that he missed the double hundred.

Kristen stayed in her game. She missed a couple of pitches, and Bartow took advantage of. But she stayed in her game to the very end.
