Gave Quotations | Page 11

Obviously, the loss is upsetting. But I thought we played better than I expected. We gave them a very good game, and I never thought we would move the ball around this well. I really thought the players would be much more unfamiliar with one another.

Obviously, that off-the-ice battle I went through, plus injuries I came back from, I always felt the fans are really knowledgeable there and respected and appreciated guys that gave whatever they had and guys that fought through things.

Obviously it was a disappointing ending and loss. You can certainly look at a lot of different stats and reasons but none more telling than 24 turnovers. That was our undoing and it was unfortunate for us. I thought our kids gave great effort, especially our seniors, and I'm very disappointed for them to end their career home game with something like this.

Obviously, James is a threat from behind the arc and everyone knows it. They did a great job of defending it and he gave it up. It just didn't go down. It was one of those things, but we should never have been in that position to be honest with you.

Obviously, Houston gave us a game. (The Cougars) could have, should have beaten us they played so well.

Nobody has ever gotten a bigger push than Bill Clinton gave to Obama.

Reyes hitting those shots calmed us down and gave us breathing room. Our first-half defense then picked up the tempo and Payne and Harden just tag-teamed them. But they have been doing that all year.

Reyes' goal was huge. It put us back in the game. It gave us some confidence that we could play with them.

Right before the play started, we looked at each other, gave a little signal to 'in-and-out' those two guys. My guy came in, his guy went out. We switched. The ball came to me.

(Richland Northeast) played very well tonight. I am impressed with what the coaches have done with this team. They gave us all that we could handle tonight.

Richard Hugo taught me that anyone with a desire to write, an ear for language and a bit of imagination could become a writer. He also, in a way, gave me permission to write about northern Montana.

Phil drafted me and he and Jacques me gave the chance to play for this team.

P.E. was my life in school. Without it, I wouldn't be standing here. It gave me confidence when I was an overweight kid with a speech impediment.

Peter was good with the media. He gave interviews, he talked about stocks with intensity, people liked that. He's a very, very smart guy. He's an acknowledged leader in the field. And that put a personality to the fund, to Magellan and to Fidelity.

Phoenix played extremely hard the past two games. They gave us all they had. We had to come up with a big effort in the third.

Phoenix played extremely hard the last two games. They gave us all we had and we came up with a big effort in the third period. It seems like we win games, and there are all these teams ahead of us and we're not gaining ground.

Perry gave us an outstanding performance right when we needed it. If you'd see him every day, you'd realize he's as calm as anyone when the game is on the line.

People were surprised about the amount of money. But there was sort of a sense if he gave us our share, what's wrong with him getting his share.

Pollard was tough, durable and consistent -- a real warrior, the type of horse everyone would want to own. He gave you everything he had.

Porter's a great pitcher. He's a guy that we can rely on to face a hitter at any time. Coach Mac went out there and asked him 'What do you think I'm going to do?' and he goes 'I want the damn ball.' Coach gave it to him and he did the job.

Personally, me, I gave up a couple of big plays. My deep-ball skills were a little off today. I saw the ball and I lost it. I was right there, but that's an excuse. Basically, I gave it up. You have to forget about it and go on to the next play.

Personally, I think I did horribly on him in the first half. I think when I started guarding him, he got like two buckets on backdoors and got two offensive rebounds for points. I was really frustrated with that. In the second half, we just played tougher, played harder and played smarter, and we really gave it to him.

My teammates just gave me the ball right when I needed it, and I finished (my opportunities).

My teammates gave me the ball in the right places. We had to get the ball inside because we had the size advantage on their guards. My coach told my teammates to give me the ball. That was the difference late in the game.

My teammates gave me the ball and I was just knocking them down.

My teammates gave me some really good passes and found me when I was open and Lauren was double-teamed. I credit them for finding me.

My team didn't quit. They gave it everything they had. We did a lot of nice things in the last three quarters. That is something we can build on. I have a good feeling about this team. If we put in the work then we should be able to win a lot of games. We have plenty of time to turn this season around. We are not discouraged at all.

My secret heroes were Joe Morello, Ray Charles - who is, in my opinion, the most dominant figure in musical history in the 21st century - and Frank Sinatra. Those are my heroes. And as a writer, when Bob Dylan came along, it was a miracle because he gave us all permission to say anything!

My script was copyrighted in 1999 while I was in college, and theirs was copyrighted in 2001, the same year that I was getting investors and letters of intent. A very famous celebrity gave Ice Cube my script and the story board. I am not saying two people can't have the same idea, but for our concepts to be similar is impossible.

My understanding is the athletic director is going to now, hopefully, put it on the front burner this year. In my personal opinion, they were going to fix football before they fixed basketball. I know a couple of the people are basketball people who gave money to football and that's fine. They gave money to the university.

One thing I give them credit for is that they ran what they wanted to run the whole game. We played hard but we just gave up too many points.

Nichols threw well enough to win today. He gave up a lot of cheap hits, but we didn't play defense behind him at all.

Nice kids but they just loved their beer, ... That?s what gave us the bad name.

Nobody really gave us respect at the beginning of the season, and we had a lot of doubters. But we really don't want to be called Cinderella. We're just here to win the national championship.

Nobody really gave him an opportunity to win.

Nobody quit and nobody gave up. They all played right to the end. They are all much better players for having to go through that.

Nine is absolutely exceptional. What we gave up on the glass, we did a better job of taking care of the ball.

Nicky repeatedly stressed the value of advanced planning, preparation, and attention to detail. In addition to telling us some great stories, he validated the things we do already, gave us some great tips on how to improve our game and, most importantly, taught us a lot about making pace notes. Several of the the things he described came into play this weekend.

Nicky has had a really good day, especially with the performance he showed on the race tires. His times would have been good enough to win Sunday's race here comfortably. Nicky also improved the setting of the machine, which will help him in the remaining six races. Max tried the new machine and found many positive areas and gave us some idea of the areas of the machine which need attention. During the next few days we will decide a further test programme for the new machine and make a plan for its race debut.

NKU was special in that it gave you that opportunity.

Never was heard such a terrible curse ! ! / But what gave rise / To no little surprise, / Nobody seemed one penny the worse!

New York didn't give up on me. I left knowing that I gave it my all. I'm looking at this as a fresh start. I know I can play football.

New technologies at more affordable prices gave people a lot of incentive to get the necessities and a little something extra last year. It's the beginning of a trend that we should see continue through 2006, which will benefit not only the consumer, but the manufacturers as well.

Nearly a decade ago, the government offered subsidies to their domestic auto suppliers to build hybrid batteries, which are one of the most expensive components of today's hybrid vehicles. That gave them a head-start.

NBC has been the market leader for a long time. They didn't replenish their programming...and it gave us an opportunity and we took advantage of that opportunity.

NBC fired pinhead Peter Arnett. He gave an interview on Iraqi television criticizing the U.S. military and saying our battle plan was all wrong. The good news is, after he said that, today he was given an honorary Oscar.

On the second go-round, teams probably aren't going to play you the same way as the first game. Chapel certainly gave us a lot of problems, and it really took us a while to get going.

On the Road' is a seminal book that gave voice to a whole generation -- capturing its hunger for experience, unwillingness to accept imposed truths and dissatisfaction with the status quo. It is as modern today as it was four decades ago.

On 'Prison Break,' I tended to talk a lot! They gave me a lot of fun words to say. There were always these great mouthfuls of words that would fall out!

On paper, this is a team that should've killed us. We gave them a run for their money.

On offense we moved the ball a lot faster which gave us a lot of open shots. And we wanted to step up our defense because that's our main specialty.

On the back side I hit the ball phenomenal and gave myself a lot of chances. I didn't putt great, but I did what I needed to do.

On that day the headmaster gave the school a special lunch with filet mignon and shrimp and lobster. It was a great way to celebrate.

On the last of his winning starts earlier in the season he gave me as good a feel as any novice I've sat on and although I was a bit disappointed with the manner of that fall, I know that if he comes back to his best he will go very well." ()

Only two of the six kids have college degrees - my brother, who is a cardiologist, and me, ... We were a large Irish family, and in those days, the boys went to college.

Only the one run wasn't going to be good enough, and we gave them two others.

On my 14th birthday, my grandfather and my grandmother gave me the best birthday present ever: a drafting table that I have worked on ever since.

One of the scouts from Arkansas A&M came to the game and gave Clay $10. He didn't give me any money, so I got mad. So I ended up going to Southern.

One of the reasons I wanted Toni to play the part was...she would put on the burden of weight, ... The weight of responsibility that someone feels who literally gave up her own childhood to take care of her sister.

One of them lost his wife and lost contact with his two children. They gave up on him. . . . The other young man has a health-challenged child and was unable to help his wife care for that child during that five years. They became estranged. It took a while to get back together.

One of the Irish players scooped it back after the whistle and to our surprise the referee then gave a turnover.

One of the city officers noticed that the inspection sticker on Mom's car was expired and gave her a ticket as a joke. But Dad wouldn't change it, and she had to go pay.

I was going with what the defense gave me. I was telling the guys in the huddle to stay calm because they were going to make runs.

I was going to try to play him a little bit to see how he looked out there. It's just hard in transition for him. ... He gave a great effort. He missed some shots but he was aggressive.

I was going to keep it, but I gave it to Mario because it was really a home run and it was off Roger Clemens.

I was from a farming town. That (background) gave me a lot of the values that I have today.

I was freaked out. I get nervous, believe me. I kept asking the guys if we got bumped. It was like in '99 at Memphis when we didn't make a good pass in round one and then it started raining and raining. Joe Amato would have passed us in the points if we didn't qualify but NHRA gave us all one more chance Sunday morning and we got in. I got no sleep that night.

I was a total stranger to him, and he let me sit down at his table and we talked for an hour, ... I took a picture with him. He looked at some of the strips that I had been doing and gave me some tips. Man, I was on cloud nine.

I was real proud of the way Morris pulled off the the two home runs, and the way Cooper gave up just three hits today. He pitched a good game.

I was real proud of our guys. We battled back and never gave up.

I was really worried about this game, obviously, playing a team that has not won yet, ... I knew they were going to come out and play hard. They gave a great effort and the longer you let them stay around, hang around, the more confidence builds, the more opportunity they have to win.

I was really surprised and I'm glad people gave more money than what they were supposed to,

I was really proud of what he gave us down low.

I was scared (when that happened). But it went in and that just gave me the confidence to make the second shot.

I would have thought that if we gave up 70 points we would have lost the game.

I would have loved to have gone 4-for-4, but I gave it my best shot. As long as you're putting forth your best effort, that's all anyone can ask out of you.

I would be surprised if they gave Meryl Streep her third Oscar for a film as light as 'Julie and Julia,' although, of course, Katharine Hepburn's third Oscar came with a very light performance from her in 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.'

I wish things could've worked out differently so I could've stayed, ... I'm just happy it's over and I can look forward to the future. I still love Phoenix and the fans. I really appreciate everything the Suns did for me and that coach (Mike) D'Antoni stayed with me through the ups and downs and gave me a chance to show what I can do in the playoffs.

I would fight anywhere I could. It certainly wasn't always under the best conditions, but it gave me the desire to move on in the sport.

I wish I could remember his name. But I gave him a big hug and thanked him for bringing him out.

I wish him the best. Sometimes a different scenario can help. I still think he has a good arm and he has the passion. But sometimes numbers don't allow you to do what you want to do. But he gave it his best while he was with us, and that's all we can ask for.

I was pleased with the way I played. (The first period) gave me a lot of confidence right from the start.

I was pleased with the turnovers we got, but I was kinda disappointed in the big plays we gave up. I think we played hard and played well at times.

I was pleased with our run game and not pleased with the big plays we gave up in the passing game.

I was pleased with how we executed and came out ready to play after the rain delay. Kim gave us great effort on the mound and we backed her up with the hits and runs we needed.

I was really pleased with the way our team took care of their matches today. Tyler Roach gave us a fantastic effort at three singles, and Sean Brown performed well at one doubles.

I guess I didn't worry too much about the six runs I gave up. I tried to redeem myself with those two home runs.
