To win, we knew we had to take the back places, ... We didn't have enough with what he (Washingtonville coach Pat Ryan) had left.

What I think Pat is doing is he's trying to get us perfect. There's no coach that would come out and say, 'You're perfect,' because once you hear your coach say that, then we'll slip up and we'll start slacking. He's doing what he's supposed to. He's supposed to stay on us like that.

There certainly wouldn't be any votes cast accidentally for Pat Buchanan on our system.

Whenever I was open, I was taking the shot. Pat felt like he was hot. He was confident, and I was confident. When we run like that, there's not too many teams that can beat us.

TrŽ: I told my dad "Yeah Im going to be a drummer" and he said "well you can if you can rub your stomach at the same time as you pat your head at the same time youre standing on one leg and kicking the other one out in a circle and say the pledge of allegiance". And I did all that just like bam you know?

You can't be Eazy-E and not move a certain way, basically. So, I studied the culture of it, and also, one of my uncles is from L.A., and he's great. He was like my performance coach.

To sit here and think that we're going to stand pat is kind of silly.

We all wanted to show our support, just pat him on the back and wish him the best. We're all a big family in the ACC, even though we compete hard.

Those seniors, Russ Beeler, Aaron Akers, Steve Cole, and Pat McDonough have set a foundation that we wanted. The freshmen, sophomores and even juniors look up to them and they now know what's expected.

Unconscious. Mary Pat wanted to win this game so bad, it was written all over her face. Every inning, every pitch, she was humming the ball in there and hitting her spots. She was in command, but she was psyched up to play and she showed such emotion. You could tell, every batter, she was fired up. It was awesome.

We don't say much to each other on the sidelines. But he's a great team player, a positive guy who will do anything for the team and doesn't ask for a pat on the back. He's got great hands for a fullback - it's nice to have.

We talked to a lot of very talented people and when all was said and done, we wanted someone with a deep frozen food background and someone that would fit in Jackson County. Pat has a tremendous background in the frozen food industry and has been with major food manufacturers over the last 25 years.

We lost a unique individual that touched the lives of many with his love for life, his toughness, his intellect. Pat Tillman lived life to the fullest and will be remembered forever in my heart and mind.

We went for the quick pass after their score and Pat made a great catch.

We got Pat Bergmann the ball a lot more and he finished a lot more. It was a great team win. We pretty much got ourselves pumped up for this one.

We hit really big shots, I did, Pat did, everybody did. We have to take the winning streak further. It's really big for us to have a team effort like we did tonight.

You'd think we gave them $100. It's probably the first time in a long time anyone has given them a pat on the back.

Brent played a great game. We knew what he could do, but I was glad to see the younger guys like Pat McDermott get in there and do something.

Everyone throws their best shot at you every race, they know what to expect when they run us, and regardless of how good our car runs, we can still lose. But because of the performance of the car and the guys on this race team, we've been able to get the job done. Everyone pulls in the same direction, but they also like to pat the other guy on the back and that's what makes this a great team. They dig and dig and work, and they don't stop until they get results.

Every kid on this team has been in the weight room since January 3. Every kid on this team wants to win as much as Pat Devlin does.

Even a mosquito doesn't get a pat on the back until he's well into his work.

Everything is minor in my mind right now. The worst right now is Pat Clark.

The whole project is being re-evaluated at this stage. But we will most likely go forward without Pat Robertson.

The Worcester coach called in Pat and told him to take a look at this gobby bugger he'd be playing against, ... Needed taking down a peg or two. It was me. I've got rugby Tourette's syndrome, can't stop shouting. All that pent up adrenalin. I've only played against Pat once, when he was at Harlequins and me at Sale.

I've seen it before so no one should be surprised. When he's shooting the ball, he's one of the best in the country. I love to see any of our guys get it going, but especially Pat when he's nodding his head and he's got that hunched back. It's a little dangerous because everybody wants to watch him.

It was very down to earth. Nobody felt awkward that they didn't know how to act in front of royalty. Pat felt like we're all human beings.

Ten years ago, if I was sitting outside of the Jets stadium saying, 'I want to buy the Jets,' I'd get a pat on the head: 'Good luck, kid.' But with the technology now available, you can do something about it,

Sometimes that's a lot to ask, so I'm not going to pressure them into being at a certain stage. As a coach and a teacher I learned a long time ago you've got to bring them along, and then when they're ready they'll show what they can do. You push, you prod, you pat and you do the other things that everybody does in teaching, and it's amazing how our guys over the years have kind of stepped forward and picked up and filled that void.

Sometimes I think being an actor is like being a dog for a director; it's like they throw a stick, and you want to fetch it and bring it back to them. You want a pat on the head for it.

Ron McBride is more like my father than a father-in-law, ... Pat would say the same thing. He has influenced my style of coaching more than any other person; the way he gets guys to play hard and cultivates good, long relationships.

Running away with it is the last thing we need to do. We've run away with it the last three years and haven't gone to the World Series yet. I think we get a little too caught up in winning the division. We always want to pat ourselves on the back ... for winning 13 in a row. Let's see how many World Series we can win in a row, or even get to.

said Pat Calhoun with a laugh. ''It doesn't matter to him whether he was playing for a state championship or a national championship.

Of course you're surprised after the season we had, a heartbeat away from the finals. But you know, Pat Riley seemed to change. He seemed to change from the year before when we were excited about our young team, and it did us good ? so I'm sure this will do us good also.

No Republican can win their party's presidential nomination without the institutional backing of Republican power-brokers like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson.

Adam definitely has some wheels, ... I think he's going to be all right, along with Pat White.

Some people have a particular race goal, but others are just doing it for lifestyle reasons and need someone to pat them on the back. That pretty instant response you can get on e-mail is quite effective.

Anyone who knows Pat will know it's not about money. If it had been about money, this would have been resolved months ago.

As long as people are showing up, they are showing up for Pat Tillman.

You never know. I don't want to take anything away from Harvard. On that day they were obviously the better team. The extent that we were hurt by Pat not being there, it's hard to gauge. Obviously, you like to have your starting quarterback healthy for that game.

They showed some of their explosiveness. I thought Pat White played extremely well, ran the ball well and made some good decisions. And Steve Slaton, at times, he's got that burst that he can break one at any time.

They had only two field goals (a pair of three-pointers out of East's zone defense from Pat Cummings) in the fourth quarter. They had 21 free throws. That's what beat us. That's where we got beat. Our team knows it.

There were egos to salve. Guys to pat on the back. Some guys to kick in the butt. I really didn't have to crack a whip a whole lot, but ?

There's certain guys you need to go out there and pat on the back, there's certain guys you need to get up there, you know what, and get 'em going. Every guy has a different personality. Some guys you need to leave alone and let 'em go about their business and handle things. Some guys you need to constantly baby 'em. It's just personalities and that's how you figure out guys.

ABC Family strongly rejects the views expressed by Pat Robertson in the Aug. 22 telecast of the program.

It's just nice that someone thought our research would be interesting to someone else. And I suppose that's a pat on the back.

It seems they are shuffling their feet when they should be running away from what Pat Robertson said. That this president, who projects himself as brave and bold, doesn't want to stand up to his own right wing is ironic.

It's a terrible loss. I'm sorry Pat didn't do more to keep him. I think it creates a gaping, yawning hole in county leadership.

It was sort of one of these traditional romantic comedies. Even the reviewers said it seemed like such a pat formula, but they kind of liked it, ... And Reese Witherspoon is always a draw.

It's a continuous program that is run all year round. Pat O'Toole is always training the athletes in nutrition and safe training.

It's a pick-and-choose market here. My thought is that (the Fed) is going to stay pat and they're going to use some tough language. We're going to see a vigilant Fed, and that should keep the markets on the defensive.

It's a pat on his back, but I don't care about it, and I know he doesn't care about it, ... It's just good recognition for him for all the hard work he's put in. He's really done a great job of distributing the ball, and when that happens, we're even harder to defend.

It started with a couple of coyote hunters finding an elk that was alive but couldn't get up. Our people went out and found other elk down. They've look at you, but they couldn't move. You could pat them on the head.

It's always great when Pat comes out and is around us. He's a real good resource guy to have watching your hockey club. Any time he can give us a little bit of advice, we're sure prepared to listen.

It means I've been in the league a little bit. But I was looking tonight and (Toronto's) Pat Quinn has 640, Scotty Bowman has 1,200-and something. I'll be dead before then.

David will kick PATs and short field goals. I will be doing long field goals, all kick offs and situational punts. I was going to kick all backed-up punts and all pooched punts. Pat and I will alternate open field kicks.

Then, when I went to the BRAC Commission, they wanted me to separate myself from the task force, so Pat had to move down to the Chamber of Commerce.

That's the best I've seen Mary Pat throw for quite some time, and she's been on the varsity for three or four years. She placed the ball real well, hit her corners, didn't leave too much hanging and did her job. She shut our hitters down, and I think we have some good hitters, so ...

Everybody recognizes he is not a representative voice. He is a TV pundit and personality who is a Christian, ... Pat doesn't speak for evangelicals any more than Dr. Phil speaks for mental health professionals.

Everybody knows that when Pat has a great game like that, the whole team has a great game.

It's important (to keep Cole). The departure of Pat did not make things any easier. The board is there to build a competitive team.

It's hard. It hurts. It's a big void to fill because of what Pat and I have been able to do.

I've got a real hero, and that's Pat Collins. I thank God for Pat Collins and the job that he did, his character and the team of prosecutors.

I've got a real hero, and that's Pat Collins.

It's whatever Pat wants. If he wants me to play a lot I can do that because I've done that in the past. We have a few back-to-back games this year and Telly has played well this year. Everybody has confidence in Telly and we know that he competes hard and he's going to be solid when he's called upon.

I want to prove to the players already there (in the England team) that I deserve to be selected on merit. There's a window for me because Lewis Moody is suspended and Pat Sanderson is struggling with injury.

It will be hard to find someone as smart and people-smart as Pat Glass.

It will be very interesting to see Fed's decision today, which may include them standing pat in terms of no move on interest rates, and there is chance here they will now talk about risks being balanced between recession and recovery,

They changed the town and this is why this kind of thing would do well in Carnegie. PAT will give a power point presentation and residents will be able to present comments. Nothing has been decided and this will be a prelude to a planning session. We have not actually planned anything here.

They've had a full-court press on me for Contreras all year long, and when they called this morning, his name came up again. We were prepared to go with what we have. We were prepared to stand pat unless something came along that really made sense.

That's B.S. We lost. I don't pat myself on the back for that stuff. I don't need to make myself any excuses or any pick-me-ups. I can pick myself up. I'm a man and this is what happens. This is what comes with the game, all types of different situations and this is one of them.

The Minnesota Vikings went out and get Darren Sharper, Pat Williams, Napoleon Harris and Fred Smoot, ... And they still can't stop anybody.

The issues that we've all gone through about Pat Boone covering songs have been resolved. It's about time we let them go. Those were important and valid issues in the '50s but now we know Little Richard and we know his music. He's had a great career and is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I'm going to say that Pat Quinn can say what he wants. I don't care.

I'm going to look back at it as a learning tool. It was not as good as I think it could have been, but it was alright. Hopefully, by next year I will have (the offense) down pat for every position. We will see and I think as long as I keep making plays and cut down on mistakes, I will be alright.

In London we give ourselves a pat on the back, rightly, for not killing one another, for our prejudice being subtle rather than lethal.

I'm not always going to be the nicest guy in the world, but I do care very deeply about my players. As a coach, your job is to provide guidance. Sometimes that involves a pat on the back and sometimes that involves a kick in the behind.

I'm perfectly happy to eat organic food, but if I choose to pay more for it, I don't pat myself on the back ethically. Quite the reverse. I think I'm actually being quite greedy, because what I'm doing is essentially saying, 'I want more land to be devoted to growing my food.'

I'm just grateful for the opportunity to say thanks to Pat for the thousands of persons whose lives she has touched.
