Trip Quotations | Page 5

We had some improvements today. We are getting a little bit better each meet. We know that we have to get a lot better before the conference and NCAA meets. We competed in a great facility, and the trip out to Albuquerque wasn't as long as I thought it would be.

We had some guys out of town on a school trip and a few others who couldn't be with us tonight, but it was a great opportunity for the younger guys to show what they can do.

There are three types of travelers. One says after a tragedy like the Madrid bombings, 'I'm just going to carry on,' and continues with his or her planned trip. Another says, 'I'll go to Prague instead.' But the third says, 'Because of the bombings I'm going to get a great deal by going to Madrid,' and books a trip there.

The question is ... did that dashing lover on screen, Rudolph Valentino, have a high pitched voice after all? Perhaps we'll find out. At the very least, this show will be a wonderful trip down memory lane, ... And like many trips down memory lane, there will be a lot of laughs involved. This is an absolutely fun and funny show.

You lose one and you've got to double-down for the next game. We really want to get our road record better and we've got three games on this road trip to rectify that so we've got to battle to get that done.

We didn't have as good a trip as Borrego. He moved at the three-eighths pole while we were pinned. He ran great, but I think we can beat him under different circumstances.

We didn't have as good a trip as Borrego, ... He moved at the three-eighths pole while we were pinned. He ran great, but I think we can beat him under different circumstances.

The Department of Defense set this trip up for the purpose of making these governors aware of the global war on terror. It's important for the governors to be on the ground and visit with the troops.

The denunciations about $18 million (being moved) to a bank account in Singapore during my trip are completely false,

(The deadline) added a sense of urgency to a trip that made things maybe more adventurous, ... Because we had the deadline, we had to go whenever we could. The exhaustion just kind of wore at us after a while.

We'll show up. This is a road trip we have struggled with dramatically in the past. . . . We by no means take any team lightly.

We learned by our last trip here (a 13-3 loss in November) that you don't want to start behind. We started 10-0 very quickly. The main thing we wanted to accomplish this time was to start fast.

There are many, many different stories. This could be a fabulous historic site. With the nice concentration of Fort Laramie, the Oregon Trail ruts and the Sunrise Mine, I think this could be a really good heritage tourism area. There is enough here for a special trip to these places for tourists.

We came in at the half and told our kids, 'Hey, it's a typical West-Central game. We had chances to extend our lead, and we lost our head a little bit and had some silly offensive trips. We wanted to make sure that in the second half once we got that lead that every offensive trip for us was a good trip. I thought we showed a little bit of maturity that way in the second half.

We only have two seniors. One of them was on a school trip today.

We only had one penalty - that was huge. I was most impressed by the way they made a long road trip and had the maturity to keep composure.

We arrange accommodation, transportation and connect student participants with the host organization. But we operate on a cooperative leadership model, so there's no assigned trip leader.

We have guys that haven't played a game in a year, so the trip this summer will help us in a lot of ways. We'll be able to build chemistry and get some guys some much needed time on the court.

When my children were very young, I was slated to go on a business trip. When it was nearly canceled, I decided I wouldn't tell anyone and go off for a week's vacation anyway. In the end, the trip went off as planned. But I was intrigued by the idea of an illicit holiday.

We will get better and continue to bring in good players because we have good player here. We just have to focus on getting that first win and to not let another road trip bother us.

This will be a real hard road trip for us. San Diego obviously looks like a legitimate threat to win the league title. They've got a lot of firepower.

This whole trip was organized in a very short time -- only three days. But we have a number of folks joining us from around the state ... This seems to be a problem everywhere.

This road trip is very important that we're going on. This is our season, right here.

This road trip isn't over. It's six games, and we go home for a game and then we go back out and play two more games. So it's really a nine-game road trip. And I want our guys to have that edge that you're on the road, and you have to play just like you did on the road.

This road trip is basically going to make or break us. We've got to hopefully take this momentum on the road. All three of those games are going to be tough, because they're all fighting, too.

This road trip built a lot of character. It let us know that given tough situations we know what we need to do in order to win. We know how to win. Whereas before I don't know if we would have been able to do that. We probably would have panicked a little bit, played too fast and probably fell apart when they made their run. So the fact that we were able to do it was just a good ending to this trip.

Whenever I was planning a trip or a holiday, flights and hotels were easy. But when it comes to the stuff you want to do when you get there, working that out was really hard.

Whenever a player is in my care, I'm responsible. I'm a two-year program so it's somewhat different because our kids commute. But it could be a game, practice or an overnight trip in a hotel, restaurant, a gas station, or on the bus or in a plane, and if they're with me, I'm looking after them and they know the rules. I have zero control on the weekend, and that's when it's up to the parents to step in and see that they are doing the right thing.

We sat down in the ruins and we cried. The trip opened my eyes, it was very influential, ... Since then I've decided never to fight with a gun but with my mouth.

We knew Madison Central was going to come ready to play. We had to match their intensity. They're real excited about their first trip to the Coliseum and they had a great crowd. We had to match that.

We thought it was going to be a five-minute thing, like a trip to the Oval Office -- a photo and a handshake.

We're not in the tour business. The trip is really an adjunct to the seminar.

We've decided to keep him on turf for now. Besides, the UAE would be a long trip and a hard race, and if you go over there you could lose him for most of the year. He's still got lots of years left, and there are a lot of nice opportunities for him over here.

We were told by a state trooper that there is only one gas station between Montgomery and Mobile, ... We've checked with the National Guard and the only fuel they have is diesel. We have enough gasoline to make the trip down. The problem is we need gasoline to run the generators and vehicles once we get there and that is a concern.

Too often people look at the disability only and are quick to diagnose someone or try and figure out what is 'wrong' with them, when they should be treating them as people and looking at what they can do. The men on this trip gain a better understanding of people with disabilities: they grow as people, they learn that service to others is the most important thing that one can do in their lifetime and they also have the sense of accomplishment with their 4,000 miles of cycling.

This trip reminds me of when I started. You've got to get after it.

This trip is big, it really is. We're trying to get some consistency right now, and we have to find it on this trip. We have to do something before the new year starts and use that as momentum. It's a long season, but we have to feel that sense of urgency to get something done, and it begins with this trip.

This trip is a rare chance to learn the time-honored tradition of maple sugaring while connecting with nature in western Maine.

This trip is about friendship, being in the hills with good friends and focusing on everyone's goals and aspirations.

This trip feels like it has lasted a month. That's what happens when you lose, stuff gets drug out.

This trip allowed us to do in four days what it probably would have taken us four to six months to do. This was such a big event for them as manufacturers that they had all their top people there. ... Every single one of them that we talked to was excited and interested - and saw there was a reason for them to be involved." ()

We just have to salvage this trip and play well. If we don't, we could lose by 30.

We had a couple good chances against Kansas City, but we were chasing. I'm disappointed we conceded five goals, but they were stronger than we were. The difference in the two levels really showed. However, the trip was a very positive experience for us.

We had a tough week. We needed a win ... You don't like to talk about these things like they're cancer treatment or heart surgery, but in our little world, it was very important. It would've been a rugged trip home.

We are so excited to be here and so excited to be in the NCAA tournament, but you're not just satisfied with going and making the trip and staying in a nice hotel. You're down here for one reason and that's to win basketball games.

We averaged one or two fish on each trip this past week, and we fished Columbia Beach and Possession Bar. Some bait finally showed off Possession.

Trust me, when (the road trip is) over it'll be time to get home.

Truly a little bit of irony here, coming back to this stadium. I'd seen enough in 18 innings, but this is the greatest trip of my life, ... This is going to be the first World Series game I ever attended that I didn't play in.

This short trip will determine our whole season I believe.

This was a huge game for us and it really gives us home ice advantage. We have to concentrate and play disciplined hockey and drive hard to the net, and play a little better defense. It makes the trip back a lot better, I'll tell you that.

This was a great trip and a good way to finish our spring season. We got a couple of good games under our belt. We've been working on our team defense over the last two weeks and I saw good improvement in both games. Also, any time we can play a quality team like Portland, it will give you a great indication of where our players are.

... The president's trip to California will have no effect on the outcome of the special election, and the governor's not showing up here will have no effect on President Bush. Staff people just got carried away on both sides.

The president's trip has intensified the pace of discussions among the parties and between the governments, and I think that's good,

We've got to find ways to win those games, no question. But it was a positive road trip for us. Now we've got to take it back home and win some hockey games.

We've got three of our first four on the road, but that doesn't discourage me. I like getting the road games out prior to the semester starting. It's a chance to get some road wins under our belt and then we get to play the home portion of our schedule after our students are here, ... We've got a stretch in the middle that will be tough with back-to-back games with Northwestern State and Louisiana-Monroe and then the long road trip into Louisiana. That could be a really challenging time frame for us.

With the addition of new network and client performance details, we're giving administrators complete, end-to-end visibility of application performance. They can not only track performance at the application and server level but also, with the addition of round trip metrics, they can visualize performance right down to the individual client.

We have made some ground, but we are looking for some more. We had a good trip last week, but we are just a couple of week's removed from a bad first half (against South Dakota Tech).

We will come and make a longer trip soon,

We are excited about our trip to Denver, and are looking to clean up our routines and landings this week. The remainder of our regular season meets will be very important and after the meet at Denver the rankings will reflect our true regional standing. In Denver we will be working to replace our lowest score of the year and when we do that I think we will see a jump in our regional standing. Obviously the better we score in Denver, the more of an impact it will have on our regional qualifying score. Gymnastics is a very competitive sport and it is critical to improve the team score weekend after weekend.

There have been a lot of days, but we had a couple of team meals, a team day on the pond, a trip to a pool hall. I think the chemistry is starting to come around. We had a lot of (personnel) moves early on in the season, with new guys coming in and out. It's been pretty consistent as of late.

Financially, we will make more money, and we won't spend as much money. Our farthest trip will be 45 miles (to LaGrange).

Finally. The key word is finally. Hopefully, we never have to take a road trip like this seven-gamer again.

First and foremost, this is a competitive trip and not a commercial trip.

Explore the red planet in three different ways: an elevation map shows color-coded peaks and valleys, a visible-imagery map shows what your eyes would actually see, and an infrared-imagery map shows the detail your eyes would miss. We hope you enjoy your trip to Mars.

We've been playing really hard at home and guys have been stepping up. Kevin stepped up again. We just need to bring this intensity with us on the road. I think we'll be fine on this trip as long as we play hard.

We seem to be coming together as a team. We got off to a rough start, our schedule was a little difficult. But to win four out of six on that trip was important, coming together of this club.

We've been lucky to get some great talent here and with kids like these you can see why this will be our third trip (to the Section V final).

We've been looking at this road trip since the schedule came out in August. If this is our defining moment, then let's get at it.

We need to see he has recovered from his injury. If we can, we might be able to sign him in time for the trip to Preston next week.

We had a six-game road trip and we liked the fact that we competed in every game out there. We competed on every possession on this trip. We shared the ball and we played the right way.

To see this place would truly be worth a trip to India in itself, and from the spirit of the religion that lived here one can learn more in an hour of viewing than from all the books ever written.

To start out the road trip with a loss at Columbus, and then win the next two, especially this one against Nashville which has the best home record in the league is pretty impressive.

The reason that I choose this meeting, as my first meeting on my first trip to the Middle East is to talk about the courage of this institution, ... I praised Sheik Tantawi for his courage, and he said it is not courage but I did the right thing to speak out against terrorism and extremism.

The opening salvo of Commander-in-Chief is a guilt trip for all those Americans who thought an unelected (and then-unelectable) feminist extremist should refrain from imposing her will upon the nation.

There is nothing contentious about obtaining court approval for a trip outside of North America. Court approval for international travel is normal and is not bothersome or any burden to Mr. Black or his counsel.

There is something important happening. A trip to India is no longer just a desired, but a required part of an American President s itinerary during his term of office.

We've heard why people from around the world come to Gay Ski Week, and we are maintaining and enhancing those events that make the trip unique.

Vatican II and the Space/Information Age began in the same eye blink of history, with John XXIII's opening speech of Vatican II on Oct. 11, 1962, following John F. Kennedy's call for a round trip to the moon a month earlier.

Various rumors have been in circulation in the mass media concerning my trip to Switzerland at a time when we have problems here in Russia which need to be solved. Even if I go on holiday, to have some rest, I will stay on Russian territory.

We had a great road trip last time. It's going to be a lot tougher this time. They're going to be ready for us. They're going into the playoff run, the stretch run, so they're going to come hard and it's going to be tough on us.

We had a good road trip there a couple weeks back. But that next trip was not what we wanted.

We had a good road trip last time and, hopefully, we'll continue to try to do that. We are seeing two tough opponents and we are going to see what we are made of.

Those two Big 12 opponents on our pre-conference schedule will provide us with a great challenge, while the return trip to South Dakota State and that whole trip around Christmas break will really tell us where we're at as a team. I think we've got games we can learn from, especially with seven new players and nine of our 15 being freshman or sophomores.

This was the best trip by far, ... I made some really great friends over there.

What is going to happen if everything fails? Life goes on. What do you think, I'm worried about that? I'm only thinking of one thing: victory for the people of California. I've done my trip to glorify myself, to do all my things, and to shine. I'm doing this because it gives me a chance to give something back.

What I've learned about acting is that it needs to be mysterious. If you overthink how a beat needs to be played, it can trip you up.

We got an easier trip than expected, ... There was no pressure. He was much better today than in any race this year.

We got a big trip and scored and got a little hop in our step and things started going our way.

We want to go into the road trip playing with some momentum, playing with some kind of rhythm.

You have to make sure you check everything. It's like when you go on a long trip in your car. It's the same thing.

With Red Raymond, post position doesn't matter a lot. I just hope he can get a clean trip when he's ready to run.

This would really cap off the trip to come back home and win. It's almost like a six-game trip.

We've put ourselves in a good position going into this last month now. We just have to keep going. This was a good road trip for us.

We've put in a lot of hard work and this is our reward now to see where we stand as a team. This trip gives us more time to solidify our team and work towards a positive direction.

We've probably experienced it all, at one time or another. It often wasn't easy, but it was important enough to us to make it happen. And we don't regret a single trip - especially not now.

We've played well in some adverse situations. I hope that trip was some character building for our team.

What can you do? I wanted to play well, there's no doubt about that. It's been a long week, a long trip from Abu Dhabi. I felt a little bit tired all week long, and unfortunately it caught up with me today. But that's all you can do, and go on to next week.

Whatever we're into, we go out and look at what other people are doing and try to get ideas. So our human resources department set up a trip to Griffin. We were really impressed.
