Crowd Quotations | Page 5

We had great crowd support. I think that it definitely had something to do with it.

We have a lot of performers and they like to play in front of a crowd. Anytime you play in front of a crowd and you jump a little higher, it just keeps the juices flowing.

We wanted to make the map more prominent in the interface but not crowd out all the content.

We wanted to make sure the crowd saw them come in. We decided to capitalize on it. When they saw him, the place went into a frenzy. It gave us a spark and we went off from there.

We have to keep the crowd on their toes,

With the crowd out there and the motivation with charity and people being behind him, he will definitely finish. Even if he has to crawl, he is going to finish.

With the crowd noise, I thought it would be chaos out there. But our hand signals worked pretty well.

We're really looking forward to coming down to Newcastle, playing in front of a big crowd and showing how much we have improved as a side since October.

We will also be needing about 600-700 crowd workers (extras).

We could have easily folded. I mean, we're 1-4, we haven't been playing well, and we're down 17-0 at home, with the crowd booing us. But guys took it to heart that we needed to make a few more plays to get back into the game.

We know that some of these fugitives might come to New York to blend into the crowd or hide in plain sight.

We have traditional college-age students in the day, and at night a different crowd comes in.

We have to win the tough ones to win the dual. Our guys did a good job. You have to get on a roll to get the crowd out of it and get some momentum.

We came out putting the pressure on. I think their home field advantage and the crowd helped get them back in the game. The momentum shifted, but we fought to the end. It's a shame it had to come down to penalty kicks, but that's the way it goes. Both teams did a phenomenal job.

We came out hard and did a good job of taking the crowd out of it. Getting that first goal was huge. We're just getting better every game and improving as a team.

We came out and we were playing at home, we had a strong crowd and we were getting our rings. I don't know if because of that we thought we were just going to come out and win the game - but it doesn't happen that way. Not against a team like that. We better learn fast, or we are going to struggle. Teams come here and they want to win, especially New England. Our attitude wasn't urgent enough and it comes down to people making plays and we didn't make plays. Everybody needs to do that, and tonight they made the play to change the game.

We were going to lay off (Snell), and (Gonzalez) hadn't played much, but once they hit a shot or two, we had to guard them. When you play at home and you hit a couple of those, you get momentum and the crowd gets excited. If they don't have that stretch when they hit those, we would have been right there.

Today was as close as I'm going to get to a regular season game in spring training. It was in front of a crowd that I enjoy playing in front of.

Today was a great day. I want to win, so I'm going to do whatever it takes to get everyone involved and having fun and getting the crowd involved and just playing hard to help out the team.

Yeah, well that's probably the biggest crowd I've ever addressed I can assure you.

When I first did Woodstock many, many years ago, my initial impression when I went to California to look at the rushes . . . was I was appalled. I knew the performance was OK, but the visual of the crowd walking away in the mud and the way they cut it together was kind of depressing,

When I first came to Cleveland, everyone said I would add shooting to the mix. I missed my first five shots (Thursday), so I had to get the crowd into it the best way I can. So I had to pull out my Harlem Globetrotters tricks and hopefully I can swing the fans back in my favor knowing that I can make shots.

We needed to shoot better to get the crowd in the game and go with them. They're tough.

We got to play to a crowd of Lucasfilm, LucasArts and ILM employees straight after their work hours and it was surprisingly good fun, ... Our song 'Clones' from Republic Commando and our cover of ' Cantina Band ' went down like a storm. We had props of Darth Vader , a stormtrooper and R2-D2 brought out of the archives and put on stage with us, as we played a short half hour set. Artoo is well aware he's my favorite so he obviously had to hang out stage left.

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 got off to a great start. They were feeding off the emotion from the crowd I think. It was great to see Jake hit some shots. He's been struggling lately and to see him shoot like that was fun to watch.

We have another very enthusiastic crowd this year and we hope to raise well in excess of last year's total, but we should do as there are more climbers!

We haven't been very good on the road, and I don't know what's contributing to that. We've handled it the same way. We just haven't done the things that you have to do on the road to win. One of them is you've got to get the crowd out of it. We've always been behind, and that's a little bit of our problem, too.

The only difference between McDonalds customers and the dinner crowd is that the latter dine on tablecloths. The powerful are as likely to be as portly as the plebes.

The pressure will really be on them because if we get an early goal the crowd will be on their backs.

Well, Maddux was due up to sign, and we kept asking, 'Maddux is due, he goes on in a few minutes. Where's Greg? Where's Greg.' And we turned around, and he's there. He had come up, his glasses on, and he walked right through the crowd and nobody saw that it was Greg Maddux. He didn't put on any airs. He was so natural.

We were involved last year ... and we did not have the crowd that we expected. (But) I know there's several of us that want to do it.

We don't have the home crowd this time. But we have a great team, a bonded team.

We don't have quitters on this team. That's why I love playing with these guys. No one was just going to lay down or give up. After the Pittsburgh game, we wanted to get that taste out of our mouths. Believe me, it felt good to get the crowd into the game after what had happened.

Whether it is your home crowd or an away crowd, it is fun playing in front of a lot of people. They will remember that Kentucky game and it will be something that they will use in a very positive way at Tennessee.

The police were worried by the size of the crowd we were attracting.

The Peace House was opened on Easter three years ago. We're hoping to meet a large crowd there on April 14 to celebrate.

We did what we needed to do to get back in the (WIAC) race. It's huge for us. We have a chance to redeem ourselves at home and the big crowd gave us a lot of energy. We've put ourselves in a good spot now.

We did what we needed to do, ... And the crowd was great today, so much better than yesterday.

When they did this in the 18th century, it was fun and the purpose was to make the crowd have fun. ... If you didn't make the crowds happy, they wouldn't throw any money in your hat. 'Punch and Judy' hasn't lasted 300 and some years because it wasn't fun to watch.

When we're in Ann Arbor, it tends to be more of a 50/50 crowd which is unusual anywhere else we're visiting. It always rocks, and it's always very intense. It gives you some extra voltage when you wrestle.

When you're on the road, you have to focus on the task at hand. You can't worry about the crowd and you can't worry about the referees or anything that's going on besides what's between the lines.

We played an inspired game that night. It's hard not to when you play in front of a crowd like that.

When April hit that shot the crowd erupted. At times, it was so loud in there that the kids couldn't hear me so they had to call a lot of the plays on the floor. But that's something we work on in practice and I was so proud of how the girls handled the situation. They didn't panic and I think that was the key.

We didn't play well that game and I didn't play well that game so I really want to find a way to avenge that loss. We need to have a good game in front of our home crowd and get another win.

We are going to try and crowd the line of scrimmage.

We still have our destiny in our own hands; we just have to bring it every night, especially at home. I don't know what our problem has been. We can't come and disappoint our crowd like this. For the rest of the season, we've got to show up in games.

(Webb) blocked a shot and sent it back into the stands after play had already stopped on a personal foul. It was an accident; he didn't mean to do it. But the call on him really fired our crowd up, which got us going.

To me, you can look like every other person or stand out in a crowd by yourself. And if what you enjoy just happens to be trendy, go for it.

Those were huge, huge points. They've got the momentum, their crowd is getting into it and we needed a bucket and he gave it to us.

Traditionally, Batavia versus Sycamore has been a dogfight out here, and tonight, it was no different. We had a great crowd here, they had a great crowd here, and I told the kids to embrace it. Not every high school player gets to experience that. This was a state-tournament type of atmosphere.

You don't need to rub it in. I love our crowd but I don't like putting other people down.

We were all excited. This is the playoffs. We're at home in front of our crowd and the whole city is alive and buzzing with enthusiasm. We all had to take a deep breath and just relax and get into our groove and start playing the game.

We were a little sluggish at first, but there are no excuses. The home crowd was an awesome environment. I kept telling my team to focus on the task at hand.

We do expect a big crowd we have a lot of friends and family coming to support, and the rest of the athletic community is always really good at supporting our team,

We are most appreciative that Major League Soccer has chosen Frisco and Pizza Hut Park as the location for the 11th MLS Cup. The 2005 event was an unqualified success with exceptional weather and a standing-room only crowd for the game.

Wyoming is a very good team and we knew that coming into the game. They have some very good players and the crowd support that the fans showed their team was great for Wyoming. This is a tough place to play.

We stayed composed because we know what we can do, and we just want to stay within ourselves and play our game. We didn't let the crowd or the atmosphere rattle us. We just did what we do.

The experience in Mexico City has been wonderful, and this capped it off. It was wonderful. They're great fans, really into the game, more knowledgeable than I thought they would be. It was probably the best crowd I've been around.

We used to do seven shows at day at the Capitol Theater in Washington and the Paramount in New York. The manager said you are doing the young crowd in the morning, the senior citizens in the afternoon, the engaged and married couples in the evening. And he said just sing good songs and everyone would like it. I stayed with that.

We shot some bad shots. We let the crowd get into it, and they got into our heads a bit. We just shut down. For us to do that, that's not acceptable.

We came in knowing they're an hour away from this campus. We knew they'd have a large fan base. But we've played in conditions where the crowd is against us. We came together.

While people are quick to praise the wisdom of the crowd, being an old-school journalist, I look at the wisdom of the crowd and know it can quickly turn into a mob mentality.

We have given Portugal a day of joy. We gave everything we had to give. Without this crowd behind us and the Portuguese people, we wouldn't have been able to do it. The team is more competitive. It showed what we need to go farther.

We would like to get as close to our fans as possible, because that's our 12th man on the field. The more we can do that, the better we feel we have a chance of winning, because the crowd can play a huge role. We don't want to have to feel that we play on the road every Sunday, but that is a possibility.

We would have liked to give the crowd more to cheer at the other end of the field but it wasn't to be. England actually played extremely well in the first half-hour, which made it all the more rewarding.

There can be crowd issues everywhere in cycling. But it's a good thing for cycling that it's so accessible for spectators. That's why it's so popular - because fans can get close to the road and the race. But you also have to be aware of the dangers.

We're thrilled we got a win here. This is always a tough place to play. It's a hostile crowd and Navy is a good team.

We knew the crowd would be with us today and the volume was frightening. This is the best crowd in the country.

We think we're going to have a great crowd, we really do. We have almost three weeks and we're going to give this everything we can. We think it's very important to have a good crowd and make a good impression.

This tour is like a choose-your-own adventure book, ... Much of what we do depends on the crowd and crowd participation.

This time I fought a very good boxer in Casson, who had several fights under her belt, and I believe having so much support from the home crowd helped my cause. By fighting close to home again, I'll have my family and friends in my corner.

We attract a different crowd than mainstream sports. We tend to get the people who never exercised, or thought of themselves as athletes, or ever considered taking up any sport. It appeals to the romantic as well as the intellectual side in a lot of us. We get a decent cross mixture of people, a lot of dreamers, gamers and other types.

To tell you the truth, we didn't know he missed it until their crowd started cheering.

Without the support of the crowd today I would have been the victim, ... He played unbelievably well and I was under so much pressure.

The passion for winning in this locker room is so strong. The transition game is fun with this team, because everyone runs. Every play in transition, I've got like two or three options. ... You have so many options, you get to pick how you want to get the crowd going.

When you get on the field at West Lafayette, that crowd is intense. You can tell there's a hatred for you and you're backed into a corner, and the only thing you can do is fight your way out.

When you feel like that, you have to let it fly. I thought we were in control the whole game. It's always fun to silence a big crowd like that.

We love the challenge of it. It's when we play our best football. Guys are more focused. We can go in there and take the crowd out of it. We like that pressure. It allows us more attention to detail.

We love that. He takes the crowd out of the game and we don't have trouble hearing the calls.

We love having a huge crowd behind us. It gives us more confidence.

We love going to other people's stadiums and using the crowd against them.

When you leave the White House you wonder if you'll ever draw a crowd again.

When you have a big crowd and the music is going, warm-up is a great time.

When you get up 15 in your division through 45 games, what you're trying to do is you're focusing on what you have ahead and that's the playoffs. I think the players are going to be very focused and very excited about coming here Sunday night and playing in front of a great crowd in a great atmosphere.

While I applaud the role our student crowd played in supporting our team last night, we will meet to discuss and modify what occurred when many students rushed the floor.

With that loud crowd out there, I think we're going to have one of the loudest crowds in the NBA, if not the loudest.

We need to continually find performers that have that level of performance and expression on floor. It really brings the crowd into it. ... Once the drum roll in her floor routine starts, they really all get into it.

When you are in an away game like that, you are going to tip a bit because of crowd noise and you can't hear the snap count. You just have to go out there and play. No matter if you are tipping a play or not, you still have to run it correctly, and they still have to stop it. They are going to be guessing, as well. We saw some things they were tipping, and they saw some things we were tipping. That's just football.

When the crowd was behind me, and my teammates were behind me, it was really an amazing feeling. Just being out there and doing what I did, it made everything worthwhile.

We will meet a great crowd and a highly motivated team tonight. Dennis has built a very good program and has some great kids on his team, but we won't just roll over.

We will have a presence of our emergency response group. We will have some units out who will be looking at crowd control and what have you so we will provide an additional presence as well.

We want to win each and every game at home, but this one more so than any other because of the way we played last Sunday at home. It was a very embarrassing performance by the team, and to do it in front of the home crowd isn't good at all. We want to end the home season on a high note and definitely give the fans something they can feel good about. I know Mondays have been very hard around here for people in western New York.

We wanted to get on them early. Our first couple of shifts were huge, got the crowd into it. We created a lot of momentum with that.

We are drawing a more eclectic crowd now.

When someone like Cynthia Cooper comes, there should be a crowd on hand to see her.

When she got the stick she ran some people down and she got the crowd up. That let me know that she's going to stand up and perform when she knows that we're behind.

But the new stuff sounds like the Go-Go's, so the crowd isn't getting up and going to the bathroom every time we play a new song.

But, ... once the game gets started, I think the New York crowd will go back to being a New York crowd.

Both skiers were on edge and had small form breaks. ... The two athletes and the crowd waited in suspense to see who the judges would advance.
