Cincinnati Quotations

I've always loved horses. I had one horse when I was in high school, but I had to sell him because we moved to Germany, and it ripped my heart out, so I never wanted to go through that pain again. When we moved to Cincinnati and Louisville, Kentucky, I was able to ride then.

I remember playing on pretty much an all-minority youth team and going to some of the tournaments north of Cincinnati and not being able to stay with host families where all the other teams were staying with host families.

We felt like we made a lot of strides and are beginning to put some things in place that are going to help us become a winning team. We know we have a long way to go.

In order for us to compete in our own division, we're going to have to get a lot better and a lot quicker.

We're right-sizing Cincinnati to better fit the local demand.

Nick Davila had a good day yesterday. He's another guy that's got game experience. Tony Pike for the first time since he's been here has made gains in winter conditioning and feels more confident as a player. He's a Cincinnati guy and he's got a lot of talent.

I don't know what I can say that wouldn't get me in trouble. He's a Cincinnati Red.

I am grateful for the opportunity to announce this unprecedented agreement between the Justice Department and the city of Cincinnati that improves law enforcement and helps prevent the kind of tragic deaths of citizens and police officers that have caused so much pain in Cincinnati during the past several years,

But the citizens of Cincinnati loved their Reds because they won, no matter what their addresses had been the year before. They rooted for the Old-English 'C' on the players' shirts.

Growing up, Cincinnati was tough, bad, in your face. We're getting it back. Back to the old days.

I don't want anyone to go out here in the city of Cincinnati or anyplace else, and claim they are representing my brother by acting violently. That's not what we're about.

Kansas City to Cincinnati to Indianapolis to Pittsburgh to New York City.

I thought they were supposed to pick teams, not conferences. Last year, the Big West got two (berths) because we deserved to go and Utah State won the tournament. This year, they were almost over fair. Utah State and Air Force had to be bubble teams, and if you have four or five bubble teams, you pick two and two or three don't get in. Cincinnati should have gotten in, but Syracuse ended up winning the (Big East) tournament. The Big East still got eight teams in. Cincinnati kicked itself out.

I think there's no doubt that if Cincinnati can get their attendance up ... then it all makes good sense and hockey will be here for a long time.

Our inability to make shots inside the 3-point line showed up again tonight. We made some plays defensively, but they stepped up at crunch time. I think Cincinnati should have been an NCAA Tournament team.

Our biggest concern was let's not let what happens at Cincinnati affect the next game. In the Big East, you can't let one game affect the next one, because if you've got any little hangover, you're going to get beat.

Playing here is a dream come true. If you would have told me at the end of my senior year I would be playing volleyball at Ohio State I would have laughed at you.

My wife and I were waiting all week. We were on pins and needles all week, trying to figure out if we were going back to Cincinnati or heading to Houston. We are very excited.

Look at Cincinnati last year. They won the division and went to the playoffs. That's the type of thing that gives hope.

It doesn't seem different to me; they're two national teams. Xavier should be ranked and Cincinnati has been ranked. If the selection committee met today, both would be NCAA tournament teams.

Well, we're just not good enough within the division overall. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are the measuring stick. They're playoff teams you're competing with, and we're not there yet.

We had more customers for the Indianapolis game than we did for the Cincinnati game, and I'm sure we're going to have more for the Denver game than we had for the Indianapolis game.

We're really overjoyed that the trust is coming to Cincinnati because it gives us a chance to showcase our architectural gems that we in the community have worked so hard to preserve.

We can't ignore initial Democrat polling, which shows Ken Lucas already ahead of Geoff Davis. And the GOP brand is getting killed right now in the Cincinnati media market, which might offset the automatic GOP advantage this district gives to Davis.

Yeah. We really wanted to win our division. Cincinnati came in and did what they had to do. Now, everything's on the line so loser go home. That's how we're approaching it.

We know that after the Colts signed (quarterback) Peyton (Manning) the way they did and gave him all of that money the next thing they did was go lock down the linemen. If Cincinnati wants to go that route and re-sign me and Levi and Willie and extend Bobbie, then I think that would be smart because with the offensive line the biggest thing is the chemistry and playing in unison like that.

You know, you walk into this place, it's not like walking into Cincinnati or Montreal. This is a Grand Slam. You know, this is what you play for. This is what tennis is all about. Yeah, not many people will remember what happened in Montreal or Cincinnati if you go out and win this tournament.

The Grand Marquee will have more than 25 fabulous gardens and single genus exhibits. The spotlight garden has an environmental theme. Green Power is being designed by the Cincinnati Park Board and will have a car made of corn, a water feature and is sure to delight visitors. The garden will highlight the power of plants to produce energy.

We were down by 12 at Cincinnati at the point where probably in the past they might have crumbled. The whole team stepped up and made some baskets and believed that they could win a basketball game like that. Even though at the end of it, it was like, 'Wow, we just won a basketball game.' But through that whole process, they believed in themselves.

While the team's still happy we're playing, I don't know if our fans are. But there's no doubt that (playing) Cincinnati makes it a little more intriguing.

This team from Cincinnati will be an older, more physical team. The spring is a time to try different things and experiment by giving different guys an opportunity to play and show what they can do.

We're going to ask that people reach out to (Ruffin) and make a donation to the University of Cincinnati Hurricane Katrina effort.

So let's try to do what we can for our own and help them move forward with their life.

We are very excited for our teams that have been invited to the NCAA Championship, but we are disappointed that Cincinnati was not included. They had some quality wins inside and outside the conference.

We went to New England and beat the AFC East leaders, we beat Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Knowing we can beat the good teams and defending our turf is a good feeling.

Everybody in that locker room wearing a Cincinnati jersey wants to win. There's not a lot of teams still playing now, not a lot of teams still practicing. It's not ideally where we want to be, but if we play our game the way we should, we can win the NIT.

I've been speaking at a lot of clinics. I have to go to Cincinnati for one; I'm going to St. Thomas. Can you imagine that? I'm doing one in the islands.

I've been close to this situation several times in games I've coached. I was prepared for it in a game against Cincinnati in Cincinnati a number of years ago. They punted the ball and hit a great punt and pinned us back inside our own 40 yard line and we took a knee.

They are a big, physical team that averages about 275 pounds on the offensive line, ... They are coached by former Cincinnati Bengal Bruce Kozerski so it should be a really interesting game.

Norman deserved that award; he's a damn good director, ... The Cincinnati Kid.

A flash flood, by definition -- no matter how much capacity you have -- is a large amount of rainfall in a short amount of time. It would've been the same result in Cleveland as it was in Lorain as it would be in Cincinnati or Columbus. A flash flood is a flash flood.

Companies of all sizes as well as consumers in Cincinnati now can conduct business faster than ever before with the same UPS convenience and reliability they have come to expect. And the enhancements work in both directions because our customers will benefit from this network upgrade when they receive packages coming into Cincinnati as well.

The University of Cincinnati and Bob Huggins reached a tentative mutual agreement in principle to mutually terminate his employment contract. ... It's not a resignation and it wasn't a termination without cause.

They're trying to bring the whole team. I wouldn't be surprised if they bring (former Cincinnati coach Bob) Huggins up here.

This is the result of plenty of advance publicity and the fact that people in Cincinnati just love Marge Schott. She's kind of like the aunt you had who said some embarrassing things, but you still loved her.

There's a risk when you make deals. When I made the Ken Griffey Jr. trade in Cincinnati everybody said, 'This is one of the best trades in baseball. Congratulations.' Then he was hurt for four years and it was a horrible trade. That's part of the game. Obviously, if we knew this trade was going to play out this way, we wouldn't have done it.

There is very, very little market share that we are backhauling from Cincinnati through JFK. To do anything more than that would not be logical. ... The major restructuring that we did is exceeding our expectation, and we are very pleased with it.

There is very little overlap but the biggest challenge would be rationalizing flights in and out of Cincinnati and Detroit. What Northwest really brings is immediate access to the Pacific Rim.

A string of tornados hit right at show time. Nashville was down 22 percent. Cincinnati was down 13 percent. There was no increase in Louisville, Ky., and Indianapolis, where we thought we would have gained ground.

It was crucial for us that he step up. He struggled some late last week against Cincinnati (a 28-26 loss), but he came through at some crucial times for us today. And it always helps when you can start off good and fast like we did.

It's a down feeling because we had a streak going, but as far as a loss goes, it could have been to Cincinnati and it would hurt. A loss is a loss. We played our hearts out and made some mistakes. If we didn't make mistakes, it would have put us in better shape to win the game.

For a guy who is supposed to be very tough, he's got a lot of cupcake in him. I saw him in an afternoon game in Cincinnati and he had his full beard on, but his wife didn't like it so he shaved it. He's macho with an asterisk.

It's funny, Rudi is putting down roots in Cincinnati like an old oak tree,

It's been a good show and that flat wall cupboard will be on its way to Cincinnati after the show.

Dan knows the national business climate, and he knows Cincinnati USA. He knows the strengths we bring to the national arena, and he understands the challenges in today's competitive marketplace.

Then when he got a chance to be a running back, in the Cincinnati game, he did very well. In this league, you've got to do that about 100 games in a row.

Nothing replaced the competitiveness, what you feel after a game like the Cincinnati game. I started to miss that on Saturdays and Sundays. After so many years of playing, you had that void. I didn't know I was going to enjoy coaching until I got into it.

It was a great atmosphere ... a bit more laid back. It was different from a lot of the other places in Cincinnati at that time.

It was a good day on the water for us. We had some good results and we are happy with the output after a tough meet last weekend. Both Kansas and Cincinnati are good programs and each race was a tough test. This was great competition for us leading into the Crew Classic.

It's your typical Cincinnati team from what I've known in the past. They're very athletic and they're very experienced.

They aren't as deep, but those kids that are out there know they are going to be out there. They're a very athletic team, long and rangy. I think they're a very confident team. They play with a great deal of confidence and you're able to see that. Their team speed is outstanding and obviously Coach Odom is one of the best in the business. They've been on a tear here down the stretch and they were on the verge of winning their conference tournament before coming up a little short. They've gone on the road to win some big-time games in this tournament, at Cincinnati and at Florida State . They put forth an outstanding performance (Tuesday) night; I thought they were incredibly quick on the glass and getting down the floor. They are a very confident group that seems to play well together.

They are mostly a triple-option type of team. They have a veteran quarterback as one of their captains. They have had a number of transfers. The advantage of being I-AA is that there are guys from LSU, Toledo and Cincinnati that are eligible to play on their team.

They want other branches and roots to flourish. I actually take this as a sign of Delta's commitment to Cincinnati over the long term. Cincinnati as a hub is not going away, and this is just tweaking it to make it more effective.

They whooped our butts, they took it from us. Games like Cincinnati and Villanova, those games we let get away from us. This one, they beat us, I can't say anything else.

They look excited that they are where they are. I think they're looking forward to the challenge and they know they have a challenge. I think they're looking forward to bringing back the old aura of what it was like to be a Cincinnati Red.

Not only has Cincinnati lost a great leader, I have lost my best friend. My brother did fight a very, very valiant fight. He died with dignity.
