Seasons Quotations | Page 2

He's been consistently among the best players at both Super 14 and Test level for a number of seasons and it is a huge boost to the team to have George with us for another three seasons.

He's been a good servant, a good player to have around and a good teammate. He can play in several positions for us and has been outstanding in the near two seasons I have been here.

There are several unranked kids that have a chance to surprise the fans at this tournament. Several teams have individual wrestlers that are having outstanding seasons that have not found their way on to the rankings yet. It should make for a great tournament.

We made the decision that this is the right guy for the right time. The last one worked out beautifully for us. We had three winning seasons and a championship. Joe is going to lead this very young club as we go forward.

He is the best Division II player in the country. ... I've seen some good Division I point guards (Steyn spent three seasons at Oklahoma State), but I'd take Sheldon every day.

He is still a few weeks away from being able to pitch effectively. We felt that he needed to take the extra time and fully allow his arm to gain strength before he pitched. I also believe it wasn't fair to him to bring him back for half a season when he can come back and pitch two full seasons at full strength.

Guillermo felt that this was the best time for him to enter the draft and I support that decision. In the two seasons I've been at Miami, he has been as exciting a player as I've been around.

I was just answering the phones, and the gentleman on the other end wanted to know when softball season was going to start. It was the fall, and he had a couple seasons to go. I told him what I knew about it, and he wanted to know where he could get the information. Then he told me he was calling from overseas.

Kevin has got one and a half seasons to go so we are not silly enough to sit back and say that we are not going to do anything.

I would watch the remaining 12 or so episodes of 'Breaking Bad' I haven't seen by noon tomorrow, but my wife would kill me. I watched all five seasons of 'The Wire' in a month, and she was not happy about it.

Josef is coming off two very good seasons and is approaching the prime of his career. We are very happy to have him signed to a multiyear deal.

Joel gave another strong performance, of which there were many in the two seasons he played for me.

John is a very emotional player, and early on would get out of control. Not to the point of hurting the team but hurting himself. His production has matured the last two seasons because his maturity has seen a gradual increase.

I thought all 15 practices were exactly what I wanted to accomplish. Just knowing what's going on and being a lot more comfortable in the huddle is where I've improved the most. Me and coach Groh talked and just said you don't have to go out there and make up for three seasons in one season or one throw. I'm going to do whatever I can to help this team win.

I think all those guys that didn't get a chance to move ... they all had solid seasons here, they could have easily went up. It wasn't so much that they failed here, was the reason they repeated, it was because, basically, the people above them didn't move up. Which is maybe a good sign for our system as far as we're getting some guys that are staying a while and can play.

I think anybody that feels like we've slipped on the restrictor-plate tracks hasn't seen restrictor-plate racing for the last couple of years. I mean, I think that no matter what our seasons are like, what's happening with our team, we always seem to be pretty steady at restrictor-plate tracks.

It has been a goal of our program to recruit the best distance runners in Ohio. The past two seasons we have qualified for the NCAA championships with a roster made up of Ohio only athletes. I feel we got the best this year and am very excited to add him to a very young team.

Last year, I ran with a fever. I haven't been competitively running lately. It's sort of between seasons for me and I was just using it to get ready for track, because I'll probably be doing the mile and 2-mile.

I want to thank Chris on behalf of our entire organization for his eight seasons in Kansas City. He is a very talented player and an even better person. We wish he and his family all the best.

I will be the first to say, when I started, I was the worst on the runway ever. I feel like I try to keep learning every time I step off a runway; I try to get better with each one. I hope that I'm getting better as I go - it takes a few seasons to get your Karlie Kloss walk on.

I think there's always been great talent in the WNBA, ... I think there are so many players this year that had incredible seasons and fortunately, or unfortunately, there's only one MVP.

Just get in. Just get in, and the postseason starts a new season. We get hot, who knows what happens? You throw out 100-win seasons come October.

Last year (Carpenter) learned to pitch with no pain. Now he's coming out this year and throwing at his best. He's just stronger. You take that whole group of guys and the seasons they all had last year, and they just took all that confidence into this year. Add Mark Mulder to that mix and there are five guys who can win every night.

Overall we played well, ... This is an exciting time for girls sports at Joel E Barber due to the fact we changed the sports seasons in volleyball and basketball to play the larger schools. It will take some time to adapt to the level of competition.

Over the past four seasons of The Apprentice , Donald Trump has used the final episode to hire candidates with advice only from George and Carolyn. This year we thought it would be interesting to discover what America has to say about the candidates, incorporating our fans and viewers as virtual judges. While Trump will still be the final arbiter of who he hires, America's feedback is certain to have an impact on his decision.

Over the past 25 seasons we have grown to be one of the most well known and highly respected wrestling programs in the state. We would like to take a moment to acknowledge all of the wrestlers and coaches that have worked so hard to build that reputation.

Our field-goal team has really stepped up to the plate and answered all the criticism that they had. Closing out games, whether it's kicking offense or defense, that's something that we haven't done well in the past two seasons and that's something we've done well this year. Obviously, it's the difference in three or four wins.

Our three teams the last three seasons have been remarkably different. We lost nearly half our team from last season, eight players, and we've had to become much more of a three-line team.

Our commitment is to bring a WNBA Championship to Phoenix. In the last two seasons the Mercury have gone from a team that won just eight games to the doorstep of the playoffs. We will begin the search immediately for the person who can take us to the next level in our effort to bring a championship to our very loyal fans.

Ritz-Carlton had the highest number of wealthy consumers reporting stays in the past 18 months (26.9%), with Four Seasons second (21.6 %). However, Mandarin Oriental, with only 5.1% reported stays, received the highest Customer Experience Index score, 89, edging out Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons, both at 87.

Recalling the pleasures of growing and gathering foods and preparing them with care, of relishing the changing seasons ... was her way of preserving an important part of American life and sharing its rewards with others.

Previous research and an independent scientific review have confirmed our harvest estimates are valid. However, survival outside of hunting seasons and the factors affecting it are not well known in Pennsylvania deer.

'Party Down' is the most fun I've ever had working in my life. We shoot 10-episode seasons and we shoot it in 10 weeks, so it's very brief: 4-day episode shoots. You never get sick of anybody, and it never feels like a drag. It's way, way, way too short.

Our main objective as a group was to respond to any adversity that we faced all year. That's where I think our major accomplishment was, we battled injuries, we battled people putting us down, we battled a dry spell a few weeks ago. So it may have surprised other people but we knew in our dressing room that we had character, leadership - a lot more maturity than we had two, three seasons ago.

Successive seasons of drought in the worst-affected areas have now eroded many households' assets to the point of destitution. A range of appropriate emergency interventions need to be put in place as quickly as possible before the already alarming conditions become much worse.

Marty has demonstrated that he is one of the top offensive minds in the game and he's proven that throughout his NFL coaching career. We're happy to have had him on staff for the past three seasons and with that we feel this transition will be seamless for him and for the rest of the coaching staff.

Like the seasons of the year, like history, truth also repeats itself. But we seldom recognize it when great poets or true artists - the prophets and the priests of our day - present it to us in garments spick and span, following the fashion of the age, the slant of its fancy, the turn and temper of its mind.

July, the air grassy and mild, the sort of morning Sadie waits for through the deep of Buffalo winters - mornings when it seems the city has surrendered to pleasure, to color and light. The harsh seasons are unimaginable. It's as if this is how all of life is meant to be ...

It is bizarre going into the first game thinking you cannot afford to lose but that is how far the standards have been raised. We have gone into seasons past, had a poor start and still gone on to win the league. But we got 41 points out of 45 at one stage last year. If that is not championship form I don't know what is but we still didn't get close to Chelsea, so we must do better.

It is difficult to make any kind of an accurate prediction of how many of these will strike land, ... But I think statistically you can look at the fact that when seasons are more active, and we have a higher level of hurricanes, you have a higher chance of hurricanes striking the United States.

Most seasons we are going to get a hurricane hit the U.S. and probably more than half the time we will have a major hurricane hitting the U.S. as well.

The '04 version is one of the greatest comeback seasons in Cal State Fullerton history.

I would like nothing more than to be able to give Mr. Rooney the Super Bowl trophy. It would mean the world to me. He's been patient with me after we've had seasons where we didn't make the playoffs, and I'll always be grateful to him for that.

My body was taking quite the beating. In the Big Ten, you don't get a week off. The last few seasons we had the bye week at the end of the year. Now to have it right in the middle of the Big Ten season, it's a big help. It's pretty nice timing.

Mike has done a tremendous job over the past two seasons as a graduate assistant on both sides of the ball. His familiarity with and loyalty toward the program make him a great asset to Miami football as he takes over as our tight ends coach.

You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of mistakes he's made that have cost us goals. Over two and a half seasons for any manager to say that about his goalkeeper is exceptional. He's been top quality.

Winter and spring are peak seasons for bird flu, and 60 per cent of China's domestic birds are raised on backyard farms with inadequate management, making epidemic prevention difficult.

We're both in the same boat. Both teams are trying to get ready for their conference seasons and both teams are very young. This gives us an opportunity to just play some games.

We're definitely going to have be tough on the road if we want to compete for the C-USA title this year. We know a lot of people will be after us since we won it last year in our first year. Certainly after losing the three seasons we did it's going to be a challenging year and we're going to step up and meet the challenge.

We're certainly going to miss Tony Levine, who spent three productive seasons at the University of Louisville. We're excited about bringing Tom into our program. He's a dedicated and bright young coach. He'll bring a lot of enthusiasm and energy to our staff.

We really played our best basketball. It was one of the few games I can say you could just enjoy. It was just really a tremendous basketball game for us and hopefully it's a peek into what we're capable of. Seasons are really funny. But I think those things are good. We jump right now into a hot stove.

When you recruit high-profile kids, they usually don't make their decision until toward the end. Four losing seasons out of five might have caused (the Penn State coaches) to rethink their strategy slightly. That may have worked a couple times but overall, it wasn't the best strategy.

We had hoped to provide more advance notice of season dates to help them select their vacation days. That is what license buyers had asked for, however, since the deer data will not be available until mid-March and bear and wild turkey results were just made available, the board and staff concluded more time was needed before taking final action on the 2006-07 seasons and bag limits.

We had hoped to play this series sooner, but we wanted to play in back-to-back seasons and these were the first available dates.

Three 2-9 seasons wear on you. It got old real fast. I couldn't really stop it back then, but now that we're having some success, it's a job and I want it to be that way.

We have learned from the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons that hurricanes are becoming more frequent and more severe. There's widespread agreement among scientists that we've entered into a cycle of more active hurricanes.

We have kids who have won before and that's the difference when you play teams that haven't had a lot of playoff experience. Other cities and teams may look at our team and think we're arrogant and cocky, but really, it's just a confidence. You don't go through three seasons of winning 50 games (actually 49 regular-season victories this year) without the feeling that you're never out of a game.

We get a huge crowd of people that come, but the slopes never get too terribly crowded because a lot of people just come to hang out and kind of celebrate the change of the seasons outdoors.

We are disappointed. It was just two teams that didn't want their seasons to end, and I think that's why it went on for so long.

We are delighted to have increased our ownership stake in the Four Seasons Hotel in Damascus. This transaction is firmly in line with our strategy to acquire and consolidate the minority stakes in hotels that we already own.

The past two seasons have been great successes as far as overall improvement in times and getting kids qualified for state.

We are happy to have Harper back in 2006. Travis has been very versatile and durable in his seasons with the Rays. Travis pitched very well down the stretch and we expect him to be a positive contributor.

This season has really been a tale of two seasons for me,

We're coming off of two good seasons in a row, but defense is the difference between this team and those other teams. This team really takes a lot of pride covering people.

Upper Arlington and Grove City are both coming off good seasons and they're just going to make our league that much tougher.

Those were some of the best seasons that we had. Hopefully the same trend will happen again this year.

To win this in a year (2005) when so many Canadians had good seasons is amazing. I'd love to win a World Series one day, but, on a personal level, it's very gratifying to recognized by your country.

It is always the season for the old to learn.

Time. There is much time left and lots of life seasons. There is much to see, to do, and to be.

There's no place like New York. And I found out that until you go through it for a season, you really don't know it.

Ah! well away! Seasons flower and fade.

A word in season is most precious.

Well, the 'Giuliana & Bill' show is a little bit different because Giuliana and I are the executive producers of the show, so certainly we have a lot of control and we have total, I guess if we wanted to, editing power, but I will say, in the seven seasons we've done the show, we've never used our executive producer powers to cut something out.

Instant gratification is not as good as that gratification which comes dripping slow, over the sere seasons.

Don't be in a hurry to change during the season.

I have no clue what my stats are. Records are for after the season.

Like the seasons of the year, like history, truth always repeats itself...

These are our few live seasons. Let us live them as purely as we can, in the present.

With every day that goes by, there will be further reductions on what's left of the season

Canadians complain too much. 'I like seasons.' So do I; that's why I live in a place that skips the [unpleasant] ones.

We shot 2 seasons back-to-back, and once you're sort of in a groove, it's easier to just keep going instead of stop shooting, so it's been kinda nice.

With 46 wins in the last two seasons and six straight winning seasons, they have contributed to a lot of the successes we have enjoyed. In my long term commitment towards the future, I ... felt these moves were necessary for the continued progress of the program.

We were real young two seasons ago and this inexperience carried over into last year as well, costing us some games. We expected to be a little better last year.

We are coming off our worst defensive effort in my five seasons here. We don't expect our press to get a lot of turnovers. But we normally see that it affects shooting percentages late in the game and wears on people.

We don't anticipate that we'll completely abandon that. The new brand is much broader. It addresses all four seasons and covers the state from top to bottom.

Too often, bridal shows are boring - I love including a small, unexpected element to make it interesting, like the removable skirts and umbrellas in seasons past.

We believe his return this year is unlikely, however, because we are certain Zach will show his new club the skill and leadership that made him successful for six seasons in Chicago.

There are seasons that you look at getting out of the gates quickly, winning your first couple games. And then there are other times where you have to forget about that. This is one of those seasons.

There are seasons in life. Don't ever let anyone try to deny you the joy of one season because they believe you should stay in another season... Listen to yourself. Trust your instincts. Keep your perspective.

When you have seasons like we're having, you have to win a couple of games like that. You don't win them all by the book, and this one wasn't certainly by the book that we would've liked. It certainly goes down in the record book as a win. That's the important thing.

Films go into vaults, art into museums, and music into halls of fame. Most fashion is worn for a few seasons and off-loaded into the recycling bin or, worse, some landfill.

Both teams had excellent seasons and having them at this showcase will be one of the biggest games here.

We've been a member of the Big East for nearly 11 seasons now, and we couldn't be more excited about the current state of the conference and its future prospects.

To do it in only three seasons was a goal of mine. In the beginning I was confident it would come, that I?d get it. But it?s just another step in my career.

We wanted the overall buzz for the show to build in general and create pent-up demand so that we would increase the odds of having a big success. Sometimes it's nice to have a few seasons go by and have it all resonate. It also takes time to do these things right.

We've had one of our best seasons in a number of years. It's a positive development for the boys' basketball program and for the school.

We've never won it before. We're having one of our best seasons and it was nice to see that we finished ahead of both Churchill and Plymouth, two teams that beat us in the Western Lakes (Activities Association) Relays.

You hope that you win. But when you're talking about the quality of seasons those other guys had, there's nothing you can say about it (if someone else won).

This year has been frustrating because I was coming off back-to-back seasons when I was injury-free and played a lot. Every year I've been healthy and had over 500 at-bats, it's been a good year. That's what I'm looking forward to next year.
