Eighth Quotations | Page 3

At 5:20 am (0120 GMT) the divers finished their work making a ... hole in the eighth section of the rigid hull of the submarine.

Cory is a real good person and he'll be good for our team chemistry. It's an opportunity for Cory. I can't tell you whether he'll be the sixth, or seventh or eighth defenseman, I can't tell you. That'll be decided over the next 20 games.

Cuthbertson did an outstanding job as a closer. In the eighth inning they had the bases loaded and he shut them down. We tip our hat to him for keeping us in the game.

As I got older, I'd say probably when I got to, like, seventh or eighth grade, I was living in Atlanta, Georgia at the time, and I went for an open call for an agent, a local agent out there, a woman named Joy Purvis, and she ended up picking me up.

Even as an eighth grader he was calm and ready. My assistant coach said I had better get Zach ready, because he was just sitting in a chair before the (eighth-grade) match. But I knew I didn't have to get him ready. Zach gets himself ready.

First of all it's going to be a tremendous challenge. They are ranked third in the RPI and eighth in the AP. They are very underrated and will pose problems for us. On the other hand, our guys are very excited about having the chance to upset a team that is highly ranked.

There was a lot of extraordinary efforts tonight by a lot of people. We got ourselves in a position where one slip-up and we lose. We actually put ourselves in a position where we could win in the eighth and we didn't.

There's guys hitting at the lower end of our order here hitting seventh, eighth and ninth that when they were in high school were their No. 3 hitter and were their star high school player.

I see no reason whatsoever why there should be British troops in any part of my country, and particularly in the almost eighth year of two IRA decisions, why people should have more contact with British troops than they had previously,

I shook the stick at him and boy, he gave me a good little punch. About a dozen lengths later he just quit. Just inside the eighth pole, I had nothing left.

I've been waiting two months to get to this race. I've been saying the mile and an eighth can't get here fast enough for this horse.

The wind came up about the seventh hole. Fortunately, I was four-under before that. I had the eighth hole, a long par three, and it was straight downwind. That actually helped on that hole.

The work was great. It was a little faster than I wanted, but he did it easy, so it was fine. He couldn't have looked any better. He went off the first eighth easily, and he finished his last eighth in 11 and change without Alex even asking him.

I've seen a guy who may or may not pinch hit in the eighth or ninth inning pop two before the game and another in the fifth inning. It's part of their pre-game ritual. Some guys have to have it.

I've always loved doing research. I remember doing a research project on the Babylonian numeral system in the eighth grade and thinking, 'This is pretty awesome - is this really a job you can have?' This led me toward a career as an academic, although it took me until college to realise that economics was the right field.

I've been .500 or better my whole career so to do that nine straight years in a row would be important for me. I think, beyond that, it's really just a matter of playoff seeding at this point; do anything to stay out of that eighth position would be the goal.

Put it this way. We were looking more at the eighth spot than at anybody in our division.

Our eighth and ninth guys in our rotation were starters today and they played really well. It was a sloppy game, but we keep finding ways to win. We knew not to overlook Hickman County.

Of our 49 boys, 17 are freshmen, so we're still teaching some of the guys this isn't middle school anymore. Some of the freshmen are helping in relays and others are challenging in open events. Six or seven will make an immediate impact. We're talking about kids that maybe lost one meet in seventh and eighth grade, so they're good athletes.

North Andover is probably the top team in the league. Their seventh and eighth golfers came through with 27 and 33 points, and when that happens it is tough to overcome.

Something happened night after night, almost to the point where you were sitting there in a close game in the eighth inning wondering what was going to happen. It was good to get it over with. We didn't need the attention. At that point, our locker room had become like a World Series locker room. People we'd never seen before wanted us. National attention is one thing. For the wrong reason isn't good.

Once we got (to state), we wanted to qualify for Saturday's finals. Then, we made the most of it and made the jump to eighth place (after Saturday's final two rounds). I'm proud of each and every one of them.

Compared to yesterday the front end was in bad condition. During the race I felt vibration and the bike didn't allow me to ride well. Then all of a sudden the bike switched off and that's when my race ended. The only thing we can do is to analyse the data to find the problem. This is a weekend to put in the archive and hope for a better performance at Phillip Island where I finished eighth last year.

Annie has been really moving up in the Morse Top-10 times of all-time. Right now she's fifth all-time in the 100 breaststroke, eighth in the 200 IM and sixth in the 200 freestyle.

An examination of the exterior of the building would show some form of small missile hit the building at around the eighth floor. It caused minimal damage.

As a team, I think we came out with a lot more intensity and a lot more focus tonight. We wanted to come and prove that our offense can get some runs, especially after getting shut down into the eighth (on Friday).

Back in eighth grade, I remember going to school with a Mohawk and Ozzie Smith's name carved into the side of my head, and no one said anything to me. When I heard about it, I thought it was unfortunate that he got sent home, but it was also funny because he was trying to have his hair like me.

Back in eighth grade, I'd seen nothing but small-town Georgia when I left the U.S. for the first time and went to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China.

That one where five roads come together (North Eighth and E streets), to me, that's the worst, But you never know who gets to go next.

This is huge for our confidence. We're in a tough situation right now where we are trying to fight for the eighth spot in the playoffs. We knew we had Detroit coming up so we really needed this one.

This is great for an eighth grader in an event like the shot put.

This is something a lot of these kids have dreamed about since eighth grade. They've stuck together and kept working and working, and all that hard work has paid off for them. I'm very proud of them.

This is the eighth year I've been involved in the Rube Goldberg contest, and the competition is played at a much higher level than when I began. The machines are better designed and use many more steps. I am just amazed at how the quality of the machines has increased.

This is the eighth truck for the Gulf Coast that Kathy has sponsored. And it further illustrates Kathy's dedication to helping those in need following the greatest natural disaster in the history of our country.

This is the eighth game that we'll play where we had no margin for error. So it will be a constant reminder about not so much where we are right now, but where we started from. That in itself puts a lot of things into perspective.

This is the best venture I've ever gone into, when it comes to actually getting something out of a program and seeing the kids grow and watching it's eighth year now. It's amazing and great to see.

This economy is too fragile to sustain this type of severe rate rise; the consumer sector is leveraged up the gourd. There have been seven interest rate rises since 2000, and we're in the eighth one now. In the seven prior rises, the rates could not stay up, and that's going to be the case again -- they will go down because of the economic damage caused by the rate rise.

This fuel price increase is the eighth in six years and life has become expensive for Nigerians who are dying from hunger and hardship.

They were hitting some balls at some people. Guys made some big plays for me. The double play in the eighth was huge for me, to get through that.

This is about the six, seventh, eighth time this has happened. We do the dumbest things that keep us from winning. It's been the same story all year. I think we prepare harder than any team in the NBA. We go over the same things over and over, and we still make the same mistakes.

They've got a lot of talent and, being the eighth seed, they don't get as much respect as they deserve.

They told me I needed some ice time because I hadn't played a lot on Long Island. I agree. I don't want to sit there and be a seventh or eighth defenseman.

They (the Pirates) are a good team. They're not ranked eighth in the country with only one loss for nothing. I'm proud of our guys for not giving up and battling right to the end.

They're young and they're just enjoying the sport. They're just having fun with it and paying attention so I think more eighth graders will come out for the team. Pus, football players who see what great shape their teammates are in during fall workouts will want to come out too.

They're very sincere and want to improve the process. We want to take a look at the four-year plans and how they're being used. We're going to be having conversations with middle school principals very soon, because that's when they start, in the eighth grade.

They used to call the Astrodome the eighth wonder of the world, but for my money, it's Mike Tice still having his job as head coach of the Vikings.

They started giving ribbons instead of medals for three years between the eighth and 10th grades, then they started giving medals again.

A lot of people didn't think we were good enough this year to reach eighth place. We only missed sixth place by a couple of points.

A lot of them have been team players. They're trying to step up and do events that maybe they haven't done since maybe seventh or eighth grade.

They played like they wanted that eighth seed. We had some kids not ready to play.

They did real well, were at eighth place, and the young guys stepped it up big time to get us to third. Everyone finished great. We'll have a better shot at state after this tournament.

You don't want to let him have 70 pitches in the eighth inning, which he did, but at the same time you want to .attack him.

There was no selfishness. You'd have Robin Ventura oh-for-four with three K's coming in in the eighth inning saying, 'Come on, boys, don't wait for me to carry you.' Just things like that where when he said that, you knew things were OK,

There were many times last year that I had to wait until the eighth inning to get him that fourth at-bat and get him out of the game.

This marks the eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year top-line growth for Cisco.

There seems to be a drop in performance at transition years, from fifth to sixth grade and eighth to ninth.

Aaron Shafer continues to be a rock-solid pitcher. We should have been out of the inning in the eighth with nobody on. He deserved to have at least eight complete. That's frustrating, because we need to make that play.

It's just a miracle to see this kid. He would give a lot of kids hope that have trouble. In sixth through eighth grade he was just wiped out with all the seizures and medication. He was just trying to cope with life. To see where he is now is just amazing.

It's just amazing to me. My best game had been 55 points in eighth grade.

It's just one of those things. Maybe we need to just get out there and relax and not worry about whether it's the first inning or the eighth inning.

It's a shame the little things we didn't do in the eighth cost us.

It's a tremendous program. I've been here for 11 years and we've seen some of the youngsters who have come through the program and graduated college. It's very successful. It's kind of neat to see kids at this age, in the eighth grade, ready to embark into their high school years and be able to feel that the Padres have had something to do with it, which can lead to very long and successful careers.

It's a tough tournament. We're just gonna have to play hard and compete. I'm not so sure there's much of a gap, when it's all over, between the first place team and the eighth place team.

It was definitely a wake-up call for us, so I have to look back and take it as a positive. It wasn't a positive that night, but we thought of that game as a fluke. I mean, eighth graders don't shoot that bad.

It was really great to have people to look up to. The team we had when I was in eighth or ninth grade was so good. I really looked up to them.

It was a very important (game). They've got the eighth spot that we want. They came in here, played hard and they won the game.

It was a very hard fought game and the kids played hard. We didn't take care of the ball and didn't do a good job in the eighth inning. We did a great job up to that point.

It was a tough race. It was long and a lot of side-by-side racing action. It was a good race overall, though. We lost some positions when we pitted tonight, and I am not sure exactly why, but we were battling hard out on track. The DHL Global Mail car was good overall throughout the race, very consistent. It was fun at the end fighting with cars to earn my eighth place finish. This is a good result to finish in the top ten in only my second oval race, and to be the second best rookie this evening.

It was a very tight game. It was just 1-0 going into the sixth and they tied it up. They got a little sloppy in the eighth inning and we stretched it out a little.

It's about going out there, no matter who you're playing. People try to put hype on it like they did last week, like it was the biggest game ever. No it wasn't. It was the eighth game.

It's a great opportunity for me to help a young team teetering right on the cusp of staying in that eighth position and being able to take it to the next step. It's also an opportunity for me to come in and play some good minutes. I've got a lot left.

I told Garry Donna that physically, she was ahead of Stephanie going into the eighth grade, but not mentally and with her understanding of the game.

It's a really hard climb. The overall is separated by four seconds right now. Eighth is good. We're proving ourselves to be one of the best domestic teams. We still have a lot of room to grow.

I told the team the season is not over until after game 82. The eighth (playoff) spot to me is still anybody's and still up for grabs. Chicago doesn't think they are out of it, and we don't think we are out of it, either. We are just going to continue to play hard.

I told (the seniors) when they walked off the court (as eighth graders) that their time would come and we'd win the important one. We'll win when it means something.

It's very collaborative. We like to get everybody's opinion, just like we did we were in eighth grade. It's more fun that way. There's no ego. We like to split everything up evenly in everything we do.

For her to ski eighth is really overachieving for her. What she did was phenomenal.

For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.

It's time to walk the walk. Everyone has a clean slate now. There's no more first and eighth place. It's two teams going out and trying to win four games in seven tries. It's almost a trial by fire. Playoff players will stand out and those that aren't will stand out too.

It's been as smooth as you can expect for freshmen. It's hard to step in right away from going from eighth grade to varsity. That is a big jump. Good thing is they've all made huge strides in these first couple of weeks and I look for them to have bright futures.

Eighth isn't what we were looking for today, but at least Sebastien had some bad luck, too, so there's still hope for the championship,

Eighth-graders tend to be the first ones to show new trends. Most are blank slates and haven't developed habits and are more sensitive to environmental changes. As these eighth graders move up the age spectrum, the high school teenage smoking trends will follow.

Eighth grade is generally the end of most of their basketball careers and to win the top division and take home that big trophy is huge. It's the peak of their athletic careers.

Each of our core brand families contributed to this record achievement. In particular, Bud Light continued its outstanding sales performance, delivering its eighth consecutive year of double-digit growth.

The ball was flying today. Certainly, for us in the ninth, thankfully, it flew with Chipper's bat and Andruw's. That, hopefully, will erase what was an ugly eighth inning.

It's big for us because we know the other teams are right around us for the playoffs. (But) we are not approaching games like that. We are just trying to win the game. We don't feel like we need to settle for the eighth or seventh seed, we feel like we can get as high as we want to.

I've known him since I was in ninth grade and he was in eighth grade. We tried to be on the same team out here, but it didn't work out. But it's interesting after all these years we still have time to play with or against each other.

I've known him since eighth grade. He went to school on our campus and my two daughters went there and they'd see Glen walking down the hall every day, and they'd say, 'Please go play for my daddy.' So, I'd sic them on him.

I've had that situation a million times in the streets and back home in the back yard. There are so many at-bats in a year, but there are just a few at-bats you'll never forget for the rest of your life. Your first grand slam, you have in the bottom of the eighth and win the game. You never forget something like that.

No, it's his feet. He's always had the skills, he hasn't always been as big. But when I first saw him as an eighth grader, his feet could move. A lot of times, eighth graders stumble around. But he moved.

It was probably one of the best games of my career. We found my changeup in the middle innings and in the seventh and eighth innings I made a couple of key pitches and had a ground ball and a couple of outs. But it was one of the best games of my career.

It was probably one of the best games of my career, ... We found my changeup in the middle innings and in the seventh and eighth innings I made a couple of key pitches and had a ground ball and a couple of outs. But it was one of the best games of my career.

I started growing it in eighth grade because somebody told me to. After I cut it, my mom was stunned. She didn't know who I was.

It was $20,000 for running eighth in the Australian Cup and I thought I'd run him and go to the Queen's Cup next week.

The walks in the eighth killed us. Pierre gets on, but his run doesn't mean anything. We walked the next two guys. That puts us in a tough situation. J.J. gets the ground ball. I thought we tried to do too much instead of just getting the one out. We tried to get two outs -- get one out.

They are in the eighth spot right now so this was a tough loss and we missed an opportunity.

They called me in the eighth to be ready, ... I said, 'I'm ready.'

They were out of their minds tonight. They were clicking on all cylinders. They have the eighth and ninth guys coming off the bench and making 3s like it's a normal thing, which its not.

They'll be looking to make up for last year's game. We're ranked eighth in the Midwest and this weekend is a tremendous opportunity to make an impression regionally and nationally.

Achieving the eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year double-digit revenue growth and growing our converged device market share to 36 percent in the United States are significant accomplishments.
