Jump Quotations | Page 5

I thought we were really back on our heels from the jump and didn't really compete with a very, very good George Washington team in the first half at all.

I thought we were going to wait until the buzzer sounds after tomorrow's (Sunday) game, but the Americans have gotten a jump on us. The wheels will be turning for the next 24 hours.

I think the key for us is maturity. It was a big jump for our freshman going from Pony League to high school baseball. You have a shorter distance between the bases and from the mound to home in Pony. But our young guys did carry a the load for us, or they wouldn't have been there.

I think the people of Florence would jump right in and do that.

I think that if Reggie Bush wasn't in this draft, Mario Williams would be head and shoulders the first pick in this draft. What you have ... is a pass rusher who has unique size and speed for the position. He's almost 6-foot-7 and runs a 4.7 (40-yard dash). Vertical jump is exactly the same as Reggie Bush and he's 90 pounds heavier.

I thought down the stretch of the game, when we needed those two guys to score the points, that?s what they did. That?s what they have to do. We got to the penalty at a certain point, Allen continued to drive the ball, and Chris had wide open jump shots because of it.

I think you go there and you do sort of get a little jump start just from being with your buddies and playing a little bit different hockey. I think a lot of guys, even the guys from Swedish team, even though Hank played really good before, now, he's even playing better than he was before, just kind of effortless. So I think all of us sort of benefit from that and it's just nice.

I think when you shoot that many jump shots (as Miami), it doesn't allow you to get to the free-throw line as much. Getting to the free-throw line is a point of emphasis for our program.

I think with the new rules here this season it helps a player like me out, as far as being able to jump up and not having the stick on you all the time. That's where I feel I can help out the most, in the offensive end.

I think the coaches at Missouri felt like a happier player is a better player and that's why they let Calcius talk to us. The D-line is an area where we are really lacking depth, so he could jump in there right away. He's bigger and stronger than he was when he left Texas a year ago and we've been very impressed with him so far.

I think the big jump in Japan gives a nice tail wind to the equity markets this morning.

I was doing the long jump and we had finals so at least I was keeping warm.

I was a paralegal who worked in the office quite a bit. I think she just realized I was a friendly person and responsible. She thought it would be a good jump for me.

I was angry, and it was an emotional response. I decided to jump in the race again because I feel that I am the most suited to make changes.

It is somewhat normal to see this kind of jump when a team like Seattle has this kind of season. It's a team that is really becoming discovered and is gaining fans across the country.

I thought we didn't have a lot of life. We started the game shooting a lot of jump shots.

I thought we looked panicked right from the jump ball. The way that we attacked them in Philadelphia, and in practice yesterday and then the shoot-around, we just went away from those things.

I thought there would be a little learning curve, but they're athletic, they're strong, they all jump really, really well. They're not playing like freshmen. They're not playing like freshmen at all. They're going to be scary in the next few years I'm including this year in the next few years.

I thought that was a pretty significant jump in a few months' time. I think it was around Christmastime they had it on the news there that it was below $2 a gallon.

I thought they were smart, they attacked us inside a lot and got some good baskets. Their inside kids are tremendously improved, and Reynolds had a big game for them. When he starts hitting jump shots, you can be in a little trouble. He got some shots to go down, but I thought we stayed with some good composure, on the offensive end especially.

I think we got caught not having the urgency we needed early in the game. We didn't get out and jump on them. We didn't put them on their heels like we've done to other teams in the past.

I think we'll have to bring our own jump ropes and things and we'll only have a 30-minute break for lunch.

I think we have beaten some pretty darn good football teams and have been fairly consistent throughout the year. We've got a talented defense. We have a good running game and we are looking forward to seeing what we can do. Every year there are dark horses that jump onto the scene.

I think that Bob represents a big jump forward in talent.

I think what you see in the bankruptcy rate is just a result of everything piling up on people, ... I suspect it is just a cumulative effect of an unbudgeted jump in expenses for daily living.

I think a lot of teams come out really gunning for us and we're a little lackadaisical. We need to stop that in the second half. We need to jump out to a 2-nothing lead early or at least keep it 0-0.

I think as of late we haven't relied on the three as much as we normally do. We kind of relied more on penetration and kicking it out and getting 15-foot jump shots.

I think a lot of times people who jump from one movie to another don't enjoy their private life. It's a great way to escape reality. But I enjoy my life.

I think it was just the flow of the game and players felt like they could score and make the jump shots. But it wasn't working and maybe we should've probably got the ball down low.

It gave me an opportunity to be able to pay for school, and a jump start on a good career. I'm going to be getting out and going back to school to study electronics hardware and design in the Green Bay area when I get out.

It happened on my very first dive at the meet. With the gainer two-and-a-half, you're supposed to jump forward and flip backwards. I went over and I smacked my legs really hard. It stung.

It has been a very exciting first year really working with the women's program. I have been impressed with their competitiveness and their adaptation to the training. They are rounding into shape just as we enter the championship season and I am excited to watch the program make a huge jump like the men's team did my first couple years coaching.

It has been a tough go for us recently, so we really needed this. This is the best team we've faced this year and we needed something like this to jump start us.

I think sometimes experience can play in your favor also. Unfortunately, not everybody had the jump that he had. If they did, we'd probably be talking about something different now.

It is nice to be able to play ahead instead of behind. I was trying to be really aggressive in the first half, because I knew how important it was for us to jump out to a big lead.

I was always impressed with how hard she played and that hasn't changed since she's been here. I knew she could help us because she's athletic and that's the way we play. I knew we could use her ability to run and jump like she does. I think our style fits her a little bit better.

I was a little off technically today (in the high jump). I had the long jump beforehand and my legs kind of took a little bit out of them long-jumping. I just came out and wanted to have fun today.

I was a little nervous, because it's a big jump from the JV up to the varsity.

I was able to get back to the wall, get a gauge on it and I was actually almost kind of waiting on it to come down, make a good jump after it and bring it back.

I was able to get a good jump and sneak in there.

I went up to pass a lapped car and when I got up to pass him he was on the outside and he came over, ... When he came over he clipped my left front fender and I had to jump out of the gas and when I jumped out of the gas I got hit in the rear end.

I went to practice (one Wednesday) and I could jump and elevate. I knew I was back. I was feeling no pain at all.

I went to jump and the wall hit me in the shoulder,

I was just getting some open shots. I was just taking the jump shot when I had it.

I think they're more anxious to get in there and see what they can do against them rather than be tentative because they think a veteran corner will jump them,

I think they do definitely feed off each other. If they go in the gym and play basketball, they both know they can jump up and throw down dunks. They're athletes and they're competitors. They know we're counting on them.

I think the understanding is that he might admonish congress a bit on spending, but otherwise, he is unlikely to say anything that would ruffle the markets, ... He knows how the markets jump on his every word, so he'll be careful.

I think the way you play (affects the calls you get). If you're shooting a lot of jump shots, you're probably not going to get the benefit of the doubt with the whistle.

It is an unfortunate and surprising incident. We were surprised to be told to go back when we had not violated any immigration laws. We did not jump the border.

It is an NYSE deal and of course you don't expect to see a lot of jump with those.

It is amazing, especially to have done it all on the road. It means a lot to our fans and to us too, obviously. I know the fans here are going crazy. It must be really crazy at home. Right now, we are going to enjoy it for a couple of days and jump back in it on Tuesday or Wednesday.

It is a market leader. It has chosen to keep its rates high, ... Until they reduce their rates, the rest of the industry is not going to jump in.

I think there is so much going on in this building, it's so beautiful, people don't really find them. They don't jump out.

I think Steven Spielberg has first movies! Martin Scorsese has first movies. I don't just jump into something. I like the whole audition process.

Jermaine is so quick that they couldn't block him ... and when they did knock him on the ground, he would jump right back off the ground and chase after the play, ... That's what makes him so great. He never quits on a play for the entire game.

Jenny would have made the jump to No. 3 even had so many girls not moved on.

Jena got a great jump off third, and that first run really got us going,

Jason Fraser had the lane sealed up, and I was going to throw it to him. They took away the jump shot, I went baseline, and it was just a good finish.

January performance was the strongest since May 2003. Unusually strong equity market volatility and narrowing credit spreads created an exceptional trading environment for many hedge fund managers. The VIX, a measure of equity market volatility, jumped more than 21% to 14.56 after the January 20 stock market close, the biggest one-day percentage jump in nine months. Most hedge fund strategies require volatility to produce meaningful returns.

Jefferson seemed to get hot each time we started to pull away. They would find the open man for a 16-17-foot jump shot and they just didn't miss in the fourth quarter.

Jesse was the go-to guy in college. He led in every category. Here, he's not that guy that does everything. When you jump a level, you need to stick to your position and rely on your teammates.

Jerry Maguire: Jump in my nightmare, the water's warm!

Jill looks great. I think she's going to be in position to have a great junior year. Your biggest jump in college usually comes from your freshman to your sophomore year, and she was hurt last year. I think her big jump will come in her junior year.

I write what gets me off. If I listen to a song and jump around the living room with a broom in my hand, I know that that will trigger the same reaction in other people.

Kristen (Newlin) played a lot of the defense on Courtney last night, so she is going to be the main person guarding Sylvia. Sylvia is different from Courtney. She's very athletic. She can jump very well. She can rebound very well.

Last time you're playing at home (this season), I thought we'd go out there and jump all over them. We're just not a dominating team right now.

I think every year there are dark horses that jump onto the scene. It's just facts. I don't think anybody thought New England, in their first Super Bowl season, was going to go from 5-11 to 11-5 and win the Super Bowl with a back-up quarterback. I don't believe anybody thought we were going to do it either. That's just this game.

I think for a young guy like Colson, coming off the bench, there is less pressure. You get to see what is going on and then can come in and give us a jump start which he has done. I tell him all the time that you don't have to score a lot to have an impact on the game.

I saw his eyes, and I tried to get a jump on the ball. I was fortunate to get a hand on it.

I saw him last night, he was always there. I can't believe he's gone. He told me that regardless of your size you should train like a giant. I was only 5-10, but in the high jump he had me jumping 6-3.

I saw him jump in the air and go for the rebound. And the guy slid under him and he flipped over the guy's back. It looked like everyone that should have seen it just turned away and didn't want to see it. I was concerned for my player.

I saw (Freeman) jump in the air and the guy slipped under him on the guy's back. And it seemed like everyone who should have seen it, turned away. They didn't want to see it. I was concerned for my player.

I saw Walker pop free, so I jumped to him. I knew he was going to shoot because there was only four seconds left. I just tried to jump as high as I could without fouling him.

I said no, no, no. I?m going to jump off the Empire State Building ? flat on my face.

I respect Garth a ton, and I know that he does a great job with those guys. Every time that we play them, I am very concerned. Sometimes the score doesn't tell the tale. Tonight we got a little bit of a jump on them early and we built a lead, but the first two games were closer.

Penetration, jump shots, 3-point shots, I can do everything. I play point guard, shooting guard, small forward. I don't care what position I play.

People are not feeling compelled by the price action to jump in. Every day they wait the yields have gone up.

Our guys didn't come out with a lot of jump and we want to have jump no matter who we're playing.

Our guys are tough. They got a lot of heart. I love the way we play. We didn't give up. We came roaring back and I thought we were maybe going to jump in the driver's seat for a minute. Jackson stopped that. Tonight, it just seemed like the breaks went their way, but good teams make their breaks and they made some tonight. They put it on us.

Our goals are always high, and it's a disappointment when they don't reach those goals. But you've got to jump back on. It's tough coming back from a week like that, but that's what we have to do.

Our job, ladies and gentlemen, is to jump in a hole and help these kids out.

Our pressure forced them to make some mistakes. We were able to jump to a 10-0 start with our pressure. We also caused them to take a lot of contested shots.

Our goal is to attack the basket and put the onus on the referees to make the calls. We weren't hitting our jump shots outside, so we had to be effective some other way.

Our goal coming over here was to just try and win. We didn't want to look past the game and look ahead to Dowling and let this one jump up and catch us. We could've been better in areas but we did what we had to do in the fourth quarter to win the game.

Our first goal was to make the playoffs. Now, realistically, we can jump L.A. Our goal right now is just to get ahead of them.

Our young guys are playing hard and competing and we just got to get some other people to jump on board.

Our big guy (Julian McLain) got in foul trouble early, and it seemed like on the other end it didn't work out. I'll just say early we didn't hit our open jump shots and then probably missed more free throws than we usually do.

Risk - If one has to jump a stream and knows how wide it is, he will not jump. If he doesn't know how wide it is, he'll jump and six times out of ten he'll make it.

Robert adds another offensive dimension for us. I like our forwards a lot, but I would consider Robert -- even though he's just 20 years ago and still developing -- as gifted a playmaker as anyone on our team. He opened the eyes of a lot of people at the World Junior Championships. We have monitored his progress closely and feel Robert has the physical ability to make the jump right into the NHL.

Rip did a great job and Redd didn't have a lot of breathing room. One of the reasons we aren't a big fouling team is that we don't produce a lot of steals. We don't jump out and we don't gamble. We play position defense. That's why so often our man-to-man looks like a zone. We try to make teams beat us over the top and contest every shot.

Robust demand for loans in retail and further penetration in the lucrative Balkan markets helped bring about the jump in profit.

Pina did a lot of driving to the basket but she can make the outside jump shot, too.

Redmond attacks me when I try to prevent him from leaving or when he threatens to jump off the balcony. He's always threatening to leap.

Recently someone said to me, 'We don't have a drug problem in Ward 5,' ... I thought I'd jump out of my skin when I heard that. We can't bury our heads in the sand down here. There have been drug busts at the hotels in Ward 5 just like everywhere else.

Parks was open, just sitting there. It was just a scramble and then just a little jump shot.

Paul has delivered a level of professionalism, knowledge and focus to a program that truly needed a jump start, ... He has accepted the challenge and the entire Navy community is realizing the rewards.

People have started to jump on the bandwagon. (But) we don't look at the glamour of it. We look at the part of how it helps the program.

Staying ranked in the top 20 in the world is another (goal) that I have been fighting all season as well. With this (recent) jump I am sitting 17th as of now.
