Title Quotations | Page 3

I expect myself to play well. I've never defended a title yet but it would be nice to do it this week, especially to give me my first win in Australia.

For us to beat us the team that I think is still going to be right up there for the league title is great.

If we take care of business against Framingham and Braintree, then beat Newton North, we share the Carey Division title with Newton North.

If we win we have the chance to wrap up the title with another home game next week, when we play Edinburgh Accies.

If we win the state title this year, they can do whatever they want.

I always say that my most successful year is last year, no matter how much more success having been made in my career, because I won my first grand slam title at the age of 17-year-old that I could not have imagined and also because it (Wimbledon) is my favorite championship and I just cherish it very much, so to be No. 1 at 18-year-old is just to be consistent.

I always say that Ian Moser came off the mat after he won his third straight state title the same way he came off after winning the first match of his career. There was no fist pumping or raising his index finger to let everybody know he was No. 1. He was all business.

He was the starting point guard on a team that won 31 games and played in the state title game so he clearly is used to winning and knows how to win.

He flipped the switch and had confidence and took over our team,'' said Texas' Mack Brown, who is still searching for his first conference title in 22 years as a head coach.

He might win a batting title one day. I'll go on record as predicting that.

Today is the day that we coined as one in which we will hunt a MAC title with local talent.

We're proud to continue our great association with Mac Tools as the title sponsor for our biggest annual event. We realize this event generates a lot of excitement throughout the drag racing community and the world because of its rich history. We've enjoyed strengthening and enhancing that experience through our alliance with Mac Tools and we look forward to many more years of this outstanding partnership.

When he was here, this was small time. We had to go through some very, very difficult times early on. When I first started, the department was over $2 million in debt, there was no one in the (football) stadium, we had issues with Title IX. We had to start from scratch, and there were some very difficult decisions made. Joel was in the middle of that.

We talk about coming up short all the time. What's been our driving force is we still have a shot at a CCS title in basketball.

We are extremely pleased that the greater Hartford region will be part of the FedEx Cup schedule with St. Paul Travelers as title sponsor. This event has a long history with the Tour and has always had outstanding support from the community.

To come here with high expectations to defend a title is always tough, but I thought I played really well and I'm very happy about that. This is a great event to start out the season.

He really wants to make this work. While things certainly haven't worked out the way Kenny wanted if Kenny had been healthy the past four years and hitting 50 home runs, it still wouldn't have meant a division title for the Reds. That's where people are just trying to find someone to blame.

He's a beast. I got to see just how good a wrestler he is. You don't win a title (in 2005) and place second (this year) and not be a good wrestler.

Hermann is very strong. He's a great skier. He won two medals in the Olympics and has won the World Cup title several times so it's too early to forget about him.

Going to states is such a fun experience. It's something these girls never forget. You ask some of my players to name the highlights of their life and they'll say winning a state title ranks right up there with getting married or having a baby.

He's getting such great talent, people will be mad next year if they don't win big, if they're not in the BCS, if they are not title contenders with all the talent they are getting. People don't like sitting around and waiting. They are going to be on his butt if he loses three games next year.

He's been in such a loaded weight class his whole life, and he's always been the underdog, always been overlooked, and yet he comes away with title after title. With the quality of wrestlers, it's probably the toughest weight class at the national championship and (the toughest to) walk away with two national titles. He has to be categorized as one of the best of all time.

Under Howard, federal government support for black Australia slowly dried up. Services were slashed, native title restricted.

Unless we can do that, we're both buying trouble. The Ports Authority is not going to give us any clear title to the property because the Ports Authority doesn't have any clear title to the property.

We match up better against Karch and Lambert than we do against Stein and Jake,'' said Rogers, an 11-year beach veteran who won his 11th title in his 23 championship match.

We matched Silence against Vargas to contest a title eliminator. Marquez turned down the fight with Silence, saying he was not interested to fight in South Africa.

We managed to take two points off them down there and we need to win to keep our title challenge going.

We look forward to an exciting future with our title sponsor.

We look forward to challenging for the league title and our fourth straight NCS title,

Hussein has a good record and has fought for the world title twice before, but it's not going to be third time lucky.

He was enormously manipulative, very ambitious and not always truthful. I didn't want a biography that worships the title character. I wanted a movie that portrays the truth.

I actually have, in all seriousness, in the back of my mind someday to write a book, the title of which would be 'Quit Now and Other Practical Advice for the Aspiring Actor.'

He comes into this competition with silver before, and he definitely wants to better that. And he definitely has the best goods out there. It's his title to give up.

Harry Reid's accusation that President Bush is playing politics with national security may earn him the title of hypocrite-in-chief.

I was leery, skeptical, but the more I thought about it, the title says 'world' champion, ... What made Muhammad Ali great is he fought all over the world, putting his name out there, stepping out, standing strong.

I was always able to defend a title on the PGA Tour and was disappointed not to be able to do so in Boston,

Kevin would have to wait at least six months to get a British title shot but if he beats Okine it will fast-track him to a British title shot sooner and jump him up to 15th place in the world title ratings.

I would say that every person who is successful in the mortgage and title business, Mel had an influence on.

Kato won the world title last year and he's been on fire for awhile.

Juan has been wanting to fight. If it was up to him, he would have defended his title three or four times in the past year instead of once.

I think I proved my point. I think that winning the title at 154-pounds and knocking him out in the eleventh round, I think at this point in my career I really can't afford to give rematches to anyone I already knocked out.

I think it's just a matter of time before I get a shot at a world title or an opportunity to be back on television.

I think it's got the makings of a heck of a Thursday night football game. I think they're better. They talk about they're back in the title hunt, and they are. They control their own destiny.

It could be a deciding game in the league, but if we want at least a share of the title we've got to beat Thomas Worthington.

It is a bit arrogant to believe that we will win the World Cup. We can win it but everything needs to go perfectly. We should not be talking about the title at the moment.

It is a curious fact that innumerable readers have asked me if I wrote this story. They seem never to remember the title of the story or (for sure) the author, except for the vague thought it might be me. But, of course, they never forget the story itself, especially the ending. The idea seems to drown out everything else - and I'm satisfied that it should.

I think the kids love Andy as he is only just a few years older than them and seems like a normal kid. He won his first title with his girlfriend out with him in America on a half-term break. Andy is not trying to be something he isn't, and I think that's why he has such great credibility with kids.

I think the opportunity is there for me to win a fourth world title and I'd like to do it. Not many people get the chance to write history and I would love to do it.

It is great to shake off the trammels of the world and of public opinion . . . and become the creature of the moment . . . known by no other title than The Gentleman in the Parlour!

Last night at the pasta party, we stressed no sixth places. We said no sixth places and that will bring the title and it worked out. All of the guys in the outside lanes were just pushing for it and we got it.

I was disappointed with the way we came out in the first half. We weren't mentally or physically in the game. I was perplexed. We talked about that at halftime. I told them they had a shot at a share of the conference title with Houghton and they weren't playing like it.

It is simple for me: I am aiming for the world championship. This is a team that is defending the world title and working hard to win it again, so I am looking forward to a great season. There will be a good rivalry with Fernando. And from my point of view, I want to score points, win races and be in the fight for the championship.

I thought we came out and played fairly well in the first quarter and kind of neutralized their strengths. But Clovis West proved why they are the odds-on favorite to win the state title as they are very quick, extremely strong and physical as well as being deep.

I think we were uptight for this game. I think we were nervous playing for a district title here in front of all these people.

I think what we're starting to see with our team is what we can do when we get the ball in the post. I thought that was evident today against a really good team. We had good success inside and got a lot of points off a very good defense. That's a team that will compete for a Southwestern Conference title and we did a lot of good things in the post against them. That's really got me excited to watch it continue to come along.

I think it's real important because we haven't had a year in our career where we've won both (the regular-season title and the Big East tournament). We've always won one or the other. So I think that's something that we've talked about also as being part of being apart of our legacy to be able to say that we won both regular season and tournament championships.

It has been an amazing season and today we have won the constructors' title for Yamaha...so I am very happy,

It has always been my ambition to win a major outdoor title and that will be the plan at the Commonwealths.

It has been a little disappointing. I don't know if that title came too easily for us, but we really never understood how hard it was going to be to get back.

I think this might even mean more than the state title we lost because I will be remembered more by this. Another title would have been great, but I'm glad I got one of the two.

I think that title team proved throughout the league that you could win and not just have one or two superstars. That team was lethal because you didn't know where it was coming from, and that's how they are now. You can't key on one guy on that team, especially the starting unit. That's a complete team.

I think that this title is really a testament to the boys' character and what they bring to the game -- the intangibles, the desire to win. It's almost a code of honor that they have to give 100 percent every singe game, and nothing else is acceptable to them. They're a remarkable bunch of guys.

It is impossible to strive for the heroic life. The title of hero is bestowed by the survivors upon the fallen, who themselves know nothing of heroism.

It is my title to a place in heaven; and there, when earth shall have passed and its events shall have closed, I shall have a home forever.

I watched him in Cleveland at my last fight. He's tough, strong and fast but I'm up for the challenge. I respect the man but once you've beaten Mike Tyson these guys don't hold any fear for me. Once I've won the title I'd love to get in there with the Beast and take his belt as well.

I want to win this title again. I think that you are really, at the end of the day, judged on how many Grand Slam titles you have, and probably how many titles you have.

I was a bit rusty around the greens but I've got three weeks to tighten up my short game and get ready for Perth (where he will defend his title at the Johnnie Walker Classic).

I think the sensible opinion is that Chelsea have got the title as long as they don't throw it away.

I think the title is won. We can become champions in front of our television sets next weekend.

I think the title (hell week) serves the week pretty well. We come in fully clothed, work hard, eat a bunch, go home dead and sleep.

I think the title belies how provacative it is. It's smart, it's well acted, and it's terrific. So, I thought it sounded like a pretty good deal.

I think the men's title will be between us and Houston. We just have to make sure we don't make mistakes. The way I have it scored, there might be 10 points between us. On the women's side, it should be Houston, then Rice, then us.

It is a real race for the title this year.

I think there is no defending a title. You don't go into a season with a points advantage over anyone. So I don't think it's ever a title defence. I think you've got a different number on your bike, if you choose so, but everyone starts at zero again.

Just because the title says freshmen, they don't play like freshmen. Sophomores don't play like sophomores. I expect them to produce the way I would expect seniors to produce. If I put you on the floor, I have confidence in you and I expect you to get it done.

Jeff satisfied his mandatory against top-rated contender Robin Reid in August so he wouldn't be stripped and the fight would be a true world title unification fight, ... Reid was no warm-up fight.

Kyle has been fighting injuries all season and seems to be putting all that behind him and just wrestling. Watching him completely control that match was encouraging as he has a wide-open weight class in terms of state title contention.

Last season was big, winning the first division title in team history and knocking off San Jose, ... It was just a great season, but it's a business and it was time to move on.

Land Rover Certified is delighted to be recognized as the title sponsor of the 2006 Muddy Buddy Ride and Run series. Our partnership with Muddy Buddy inspires others to embark on new adventures, and attain extraordinary limits; capturing what truly represents the Land Rover brand.

I saw the title as a way of turning an ugly phrase back on people who use, or think it. The phrase 'One Dead Indian' is an ugly but revealing mirror.

I said I wouldn't complain about it until I lost and I haven't lost yet. We haven't won a world title but every event is a step towards Beijing.

Our guys are going to be exciting to watch. We want to win the regular-season MAC title so we can host the MAC Tournament.

Our goals are still the game. We want to win the SCC Quinnipiac Division, defend our conference title and win the Division I state championship. Those goals will now be harder to attain, but they are still attainable.

Our goal is to win the state championship. That is the goal, and as a program, we've said that we want to contend for the state title every year. We know what we need to do to reach that goal, and it's about perseverance.

Our goal is to win the conference title so we know every game is important. It's nice to be on a team where so many people can contribute.

Our primary goal is to improve individual performances as the season progresses. Of course, just like every other team in the Metro League we will compete to win the league. Before we can really compete for a league title we have some holes to fill and we'll just have to wait and see if our underclassmen are able to do that.

Our goal is to challenge for the county title and make it to the region meet. That's what I hope for talking with the boys. I'm not necessarily concerned with winning regular-season meets. I'd rather we peak for the regions and make to the regions for our first time.

Our goal every season is to win the regular season title and then once we get that part done, we want to win the conference tournament and make a good showing there. We have made steps in that direction the last two years - I don't know if this is a natural progression but I think we should be in the mix.

Our first goal is to win the section title this year, but we know that's going to be tough because the section has definitely gotten stronger,

Our first aim is to recreate that form from last season, next we aim to defend our title successfully and lastly we are aware that we must build momentum for the World Cup.

Our fans have been waiting for a title for a long time and now we have a chance to offer them one.

Our fans have been able to enjoy a national title game again. ... Now, they'll want to enjoy one every year, and that's OK. We expect to be at the Fiesta Bowl playing for the national title next year.

Our ultimate goal is to win the state championship. Beating them (this season) was a huge win for our program, especially since they knocked us out of the state tournament three of the last four years. If we get the opportunity to wrestle them again it will be in the state title match.

Our whole focus all year was to win a championship. All this other stuff, I mean, it's nice and it makes for some good stories, but winning a title is our whole mind-set. If we don't win the championship, nobody is going to remember all that other stuff.

Our 2005 season was excellent. Several of our teams excelled in post season play, including winning the state of Nevada title in the Babe Ruth division.

Playing for the conference title is really what it's all about. We have to win the conference before we can start talking about playing for a state championship.

Paula Creamer is Title IX exploding on the golf course. This law told girls it was okay to play sports, to be tough, to play like the boys and still look like a girl. If Billie Jean King had had a master plan of what women's sports would look like in 2006, it would be Paula: Play all these sports, love them all and then pick one that, by the way, can make you a millionaire a few months after graduating from high school.

Our long-term goal is to win the title as well as to make the NCAA Tournament. We could also get an at-large bid, which we are currently on the bubble for.

Our only regret is that he was born the same year as Mike Grey. But the third title solidifies him as one of the best ever.

Some people are expecting us to win all our matches by two or three goals because we are the title holders. This cannot happen.
