Averaged Quotations

I only did about one novel a year while I was working full time, but since 1993, I've averaged two and a half books a year.

After almost 50 years in which federal spending averaged about 20 percent of GDP, Joe Sestak and Nancy Pelosi took federal spending to 25 percent. You know, that's a 25 percent increase in the size of the government overnight. That's what we - that's what we've got to rein in.

We are looking to be more controlled. We hope to play smart, controlled games. We hope to cut down on our errors. Last year we averaged just over four a game. We want to cut that in half to two or less per game.

We spread the wealth pretty well. This was really a special year, because we had kids that understood and were happy if they averaged eight or 10 points a game, just as long as we were 25-4 and had a shot to go far.

We've averaged 20-plus wins a year for the last five years, five straight NCAA tournaments. Kids graduate. Hey, that's a successful program.

We've scored under 200 in all of our matches. Last year we averaged 220. We're striking the ball really well. We need some work on our short game. We kind of lost our focus around the greens lately, but I think that will come back.

She's averaged 22 points a game over four years. From her first game as a freshman through her last games as a senior she's averaged over 20 points a game. She's a great practice player and really understands the game.

She's a phenomenal passer. She averaged four or five assists, but she could have averaged a lot more than that if some of the passes she made were finished or caught. She catches so many people off guard with some of those passes.

She's an awesome player. As a freshman, she's averaged in double figures. She's great. She's not afraid to shoot it. She's a big part of this team.

She actually averaged two points per game more against Class AA teams than Class A teams, and 45 percent of our games are against ranked teams. Her consistency is what's unbelievable to me.

I have certainly made mistakes in the past by not being more assertive when bumps in the road appeared. Larry, Theo and other managers in the organization do not need me in order to excel at what they do, but I have a responsibility to ensure that divergent views and our overall direction lead to a better and stronger organization. We've averaged winning more than 95 games a year since we purchased the club. We've listened to the fans and improved the fan experience greatly. We have provided excitement during the season as well as the off-season.

From 1965 to 1982, the yield curve in this country was inverted 47 percent of the time, yet bank earnings averaged a more rapid increase than non-bank earnings. Bank stocks also outperformed the S&P 500, on average, over that period.

He had some success when he was at Wisconsin. I think they averaged like 450 yards of total offense. Obviously, Philadelphia, he had success there. That's about as much of him I know. Obviously, I want to get a chance to know him. The main thing for me is to get the playbook and get ready to roll.

We looked at companies that got the most A's and the most F's. What we do is we collect on an A to F scale and so we averaged those reports together and a company's rating is an average of those reports.

He could make a run for it. He's averaged about 25 points a game this season, so who knows.

Jarvis is doing really well. He is doing a lot more offensively. Last year we were very well-balanced and nobody averaged more than 14 points per game, but now we are young and need him to step up.

Irene averaged more than 10 points per game this past season and I believe that her best basketball is still ahead of her. We are excited about the physical presence that she brings to our low post game.

Our imports of gasoline averaged close to 1.0 million barrels per day in the last four weeks, which is very high for February.

Our studies show that, averaged across all users, the utilization is less than 1 percent of the total capacity.

Overall, most locations averaged 13 to 16 degrees above normal for the month. That's just amazing.

Our boys averaged 193. It was one of the top averages. We didn't make it.

Retail gasoline prices have moved higher against a backdrop of increased crude oil prices. A year ago, crude oil traded at $49 a barrel and gas prices averaged $1.792--49 cents lower than the current average of $2.283. This week, crude hovers around $66 a barrel.

Our offensive linemen have decent size. The 2000 state championship team averaged 260 pounds up front. We're pretty close to that average (257 pounds) this year.

My only claim to fame was being all-conference and that came from leading the league in fouls. I averaged 4 a game. Thank God Joe doesn't foul much.

My reputation is as a defender, ... But I tell people there were times that I averaged 19 points, 18.5 points. If you watched me play, or watched the guys I played with, nobody ever did one thing. That's what made us successful.

I stupidly switched drivers the first day and I was snipe-hooking it. The second day I hit my regular driver and averaged 305 yards.

I stupidly switched drivers the first day and I was snipe-hooking it, ... The second day I hit my regular driver and averaged 305 yards.

Justin averaged 21.5 points and was 11 of 19 on threes and didn't get named last week.

The 1940s through the 1960s experienced an above-average number of major hurricanes, while the 1970s into the mid-1990s averaged fewer hurricanes.

That's the way it should be. I learned that my rookie year. I averaged 20 and 10, while Dale Davis averaged nine and eight. He was on Indiana and they were in second place in the East or whatever and he got the All-Star nod. This time we're the fourth best team in the West, I expect to be there.

Two years ago the sessions averaged 8-12 players. This fall we averaged no less than 20 guys per session. The enthusiasm for the game is constantly growing. I see kids with sticks all the time.

The decline in job cuts is certainly welcome news, but it is difficult to get too excited about a year in which more than 1.2 million people fell victim to downsizing, ... That is more than double the 553,044 job cuts averaged annually during the six-year period before the recession.

Walk-up (ticket sales) for the first (Stockton Thunder) hockey game was huge. We averaged 8,300 fans for Saturday hockey games, so I suspect we'll do that for football.

We knew we didn't have guys who had averaged a lot of points at this level. We didn't have one player who had averaged double figures at this level. But you have to give the guys credit because their attitude and resiliency. Every day they come in trying to win games.

This young man averaged 1.87 (seconds) get-off in the game. Virtually, you could have a guy run free and he can't block the kick. So that's the great thing.

We averaged one or two fish on each trip this past week, and we fished Columbia Beach and Possession Bar. Some bait finally showed off Possession.

We averaged 60 points per game this season and that was all due to getting turnovers. Our full-court press didn't hurt them at all, today. They were poised.

We averaged 43.5 points a game this year and they came up with 29 of those so it's obvious how important they were. As the season wore on, we developed other options, but they were definitely the leaders. They received a lot of attention from the other team's defense all year and they were still able to do well.

We averaged 19.35 tons per acre, which is about average.

We've played 33 games now. I think we averaged right around this every year (at North Dakota). But it's kind of a different schedule. There are so many games, you don't really think about it. You just come to the rink and it's, 'Oh, we've got a game tonight.' It's just routine now.

We've been a good shooting team all season. We've averaged right around 50 percent. But they really made it hard for us to get anything inside today, and we just couldn't make anything from outside.

This team averaged 37 points a game last year, so to shut a team out like that is a credit to these guys.

We are very pleased to add a dependable starter such as Brian Lawrence to our rotation. No only does he have a reputation of going deep into games, but he has averaged 34 starts the last four seasons.

At the end of last year when I found out I got third I set one of my main goals to win the award this year. I wasn't even expecting that last year and was cool about it because there was Cookie Miller and Adam Fletcher who were great players and averaged like 25 points per game.

The students averaged about eight days absent each. That's a lot and it's one of the main challenges of summer school programming. If the kids don't come, they can't learn. However, for the kids that were there, I think it worked out great. They learned a lot.

I've lived nearby since 1981 and probably have averaged one run a week there. That's more than 1000 repetitions, and I have yet to tire of this course.

I've averaged more here than I did in high school because they ask me to do more. I still score, but not as much as I did in the beginning because they don't need me to.

I volunteered for it; I wanted to help out any way I could. Last year we averaged 4.8 on punt returns and 19.1 on kickoffs. That's horrible. But we have worked hard on it this year, and Johnny and I are ready to go. There are no excuses this year.

Some people say I may have underachieved when I was in Pittsburgh, ... But you have to have the opportunity to achieve anything, period, much less overachieve. And I think I was a big-play receiver in Pittsburgh. I only averaged 20 yards per catch (actually 19.8 in 11 games last year).

Prices remain on the rise but there is hope that we may be nearing a peak. Wholesale gas prices have averaged about $2.60 per gallon for the past week. Taxes add about 60 cents to that, transportation and dealer profit is another 5-10 cents. Prices in the L.A./Long Beach area could peak at $3.25-$3.30 by mid-May then they could decline after Memorial Day.

Cody continued to run the ball hard and he had several carries of between 15 and 20 yards. He averaged about six yards a pop. Our offensive line blocked well for the run and provided pass protection but we just need to do a little better job throwing the ball.

Although he's 41 years old and approaching the twilight of his career, Barry Bonds is still the most dominant offensive player in the game today. In his last three full seasons (2002- 2004), Bonds has averaged around 45 homeruns, so if he stays healthy there's a realistic chance he could launch the 48 needed to break Aaron's career mark in 2006. Even if he finishes the season just short of the most sacred record in baseball, Bonds has indicated his health will dictate whether he returns for a 22nd big league season in 2007.

Aaron (Jackson) has really started to shoot the ball better of late. He had a good tournament and he has really emerged as a solid third scorer for us. He has averaged double digits over the past few games.

A BBB/Javelin study found that identity theft victims who discovered the crime through electronic means averaged a smaller monetary loss than those who found the theft on their paper statements. By contrast, consumers who rely on paper statements might have to wait days or even weeks, depending on the statement cycle, before learning that a theft had occurred, increasing the chance that larger sums could be stolen.

It wasn't like we had a total letdown or anything; we just softened up enough to let him get going. And once he got going, it was very difficult to get any momentum back. Early in the third, we went under a couple of times on screens. He made one, and that really opened his eyes. He put one right in the middle. That's a lesson that needs to be learned -- playing against great players like that, just one possession can get them going. Obviously, if you look at the whole year, the four games we played them, he's averaged well over 30 points against us. We didn't get it done against him this year.

It was down last year, but just looking at the stats, they've got five players back who averaged double figures,

It's easy to make a lightweight calf gain 3.5 lbs./day. If you've averaged 1.8 lbs. historically and were always trying to get 2.0 lbs., it's hard to change your mindset to restricting gain rather than maximizing it.

That's a difference maker. She averaged 24 against us this season. She only had 15, but she can erupt for 40.

It's not going to be easy for someone to step up and do the things Armon did. The other thing is that, counting our overtime games, he probably averaged 32 minutes a game for us.

Everybody says we don't have no superstars. No, we've got five superstars. If we wanted to have a guy averaged 30 points a game, we could do that. But we want bigger things. We want a championship and we know one guy can't guard five.

Summer prices may be a bit discouraging this year having averaged above $50 for the past two years.

It's an adjustment; it's a lot different than back home. My role has changed a lot from last year to this year. I averaged 20 points a game last year but this year I have to score a lot more.

I've experienced several dry years where no-till soybeans substantially out-yielded conventionally planted soybeans. One year in particular was 1991, when no-till soybeans averaged over 40 bushels per acre, and conventional soybeans were about 12 bushels per acre. The difference was in the saved soil moisture.

Oh, man, he's done that all year, particularly at the end of games. He's averaged four blocks a game. He's an outstanding kid and an outstanding athlete.

It was a big change. It's a whole lot more open now. Brian averaged 16 points for us, and losing that, we have to make up for it. Everybody was looking to be more aggressive.

It went really well. Each of our swimmers averaged 13,000 meters a practice and we had near-perfect attendance.

Their five starters averaged about 70 points a game. We averaged around 50, so we didn't want to get in a running game with them.

The costs we incur for paying for natural gas we have to pass on to the customer. We do everything we can to keep prices down because of our customers. One of the things we suggest to our customers is average billing. This is where your bill can be averaged out over 12 months. It is a big help and a good thing to do for our customers.

Indirect bidders in the two-year sales have averaged 38 percent or so the past seven, eight auctions; anything less than that today will feed people's fears about foreign demand waning.

I knew from the first day that we would have a lot of players coming up from junior varsity. Without Nicole and Christie, who both averaged double figures, someone would have to pick some of those points up. I knew I would have to score in different ways.

I had teams in Tennessee that averaged 34-35 wins a season and (WSU) is comparable. They're really talented. They really have a nice team.

In past years, the NCAA Qualifier alone determined team NCAA ranking and invitations to the NCAA Championships. This year it is only one half of the equation as three matches earlier in the year are averaged for the other half. However, for individuals, the qualifier is it. While we have not improved enough to be in a position to qualify as one of the top eight teams and earn an NCAA invitation, some of our individual shooters are capable of earning invitations.

Certainly we've had some stints where we averaged over 25 knots for an hour, and then you're up to the 600-mile day scenario. A lot of the guys here were the first to do 500 miles, and it would be nice to get the 600 but as always we're here to win points. We keep reminding ourselves that we don't need to win this leg where perhaps other boats do, and so we mustn't allow ourselves to be pressured into pushing the boat too hard.

He's a playmaker. He averaged 48 yards per touchdown and is a tremendous athlete and has a great work ethic.

If he had that mentality, he could have averaged 20 (points) and 10 (rebounds). Physically, there wasn't anyone who could match up with him. He could run the floor. He could finish. He was unselfish. He was a shot blocker.

I averaged about 10-15 hours of work a week, ... But it was more motivation for me to get in there and improve my work.

Collin was a great player for us, obviously -- he is at Duke. He was a good student. I'd say his grades averaged in the mid-90s. He was one of those kids who didn't need athletics to get into Duke.

He averaged 20 points a game despite every opponent's defense being geared to stop him. The big thing was he had such a quick release. He could get off any shot he wanted to.

The emphasis isn't on companies' outlook for future growth. Rather, investors are picking stocks with low (price-to-earnings) ratios, or companies that averaged safe revenue growth over the last five years.

You've got Lowry, who is willing to go in there and get rebounds. He averaged at least six a game. So I don't think that will be a big problem for them. Florida will have to keep Villanova from getting offensive rebounds, because that's a big thing for them.

The last four months of the (fiscal) year, we averaged about 8,000 recruits. We have a good momentum going right now,

The last four games, Darrel Mitchell has averaged about 26 or 27 points a game (actually 24.5), and we felt like against a zone he would find too many holes and get loose. We went to the zone once in the first half and he buried a 3 on us. I just felt like with Darrel Mitchell, right now, at the level he's been playing, we just needed to be body to body with him for 40 minutes.

I have close to 30,000 now. At this rate we'll have in excess of 40,000. Last year we had 33,000 season seats and averaged about 40,000 fans per game.
