Won Quotations | Page 4

We've won all kinds of games in all kinds of ways. We have embraced defense. That's been the key. We don't score many points but we don't allow our opponents to score many either.

We've won a few games here the last five, six weeks and hopefully we can continue to play better.

We've won a battle, but the struggle goes on.

We've won 22 of our last 24. You play 82 games, and you don't like to say you didn't have it, but we didn't have it tonight. We didn't capitalize on our opportunities down the stretch.

We've won (18) games and the fans are there every night pounding on the glass and cheering for us.

We've won 15 of the last 26 Ivy league tournaments. So the girls have been down this road before, they're battle-tested and ready to go.

We've won 14 in a row, and people always want to knock you off. You use that as motivation. You don't want to be the guys who lose.

We've won 10 games in (the past) three years. There's no way we would cop an attitude.

We want to reach our goal to get a banner this year, ... Our school has never won a league or district title in girls basketball. We're working hard to get one.

We have scaled the heights of Mount Everest, dominated the Southeast Asian games, we have won international beauty titles, and of course punched our way to triumph in the boxing world. Our people compete and win every day in every imaginable job throughout the world.

We have to get rid of that one bad inning. It has happened in every game we've lost, but we've also won in spite of it.

We have never won the national title. There will be some good teams there and it will be hard. The boys had a couple of days off after the Auckland final but are now back into training.

We have some bruises and we may have one or two wrestlers out. We were injury-free when we won the duals championship in 2003. It's not the same this year.

When you're up 5-3 going into the third period, you expect to win. They won because they worked harder than we did. It's as simple as that.

We were almost perfect today. Right now (the second-place team finish), it's a little bittersweet. We felt like we could've won it. But with our backs against the wall (entering Saturday), we almost did it.

We were trying to kick the bag out of each other. Ryan doesn't believe me when I tell him this, but he is so unbelievably strong. If he had gone as hard as he could have for the last two laps he would have won no question. But when you try and play McCormack's game he's going to lose, because Mark already has 150 finished just like that in his brain.

We were too passive in the first half but we played a lot better in the second. We're not yet where we want to be but we won over very good opponents and I'm satisfied with that.

We've won some close games this year, and that's made us better. We made a lot of mistakes late to let them back into the game, but we responded.

We've won some big games at the line this year, and we've lost some at the line. We know how important free throws are.

We've won playoff games before, but not down 18 on someone else's home court. Yeah, this is pretty special.

We've won our last three that way. We'll take 26 more like that as long we win. We never get discourage. We just play through our mistakes and that's the biggest difference.

We've won one game. We won four last year. We've got a ways to go before we match last year. We haven't proved anything.

We've won one game, that is it. I think what we did is just turn this into a series. ... As the series goes on, you have to play better. We know Ottawa is going to play better the third game.

We've won nine of the last 11, so I like our chances.

We've won more games this year than we'd won all of last year already. And you know, that's a huge improvement.

We've won it before, and anything short of that is failure. You don't work the whole off-season, spring training and six months of games to finish second or third. If you don't win, you should feel it's a failure.

We've won here now so we don't have to worry about the 15-year thing.

We've won games that way. We've shot poorly and then got on the offensive boards and played defense. They were just too good.

We were in a situation we could have lost this game. We were in the same situation we were in when we lost to Western Carolina (in the final game) last season. But these guys went out there and won this one.

We are all confident, especially after the Argentina game when we won that.

The Red Sox won four games in a row after being down three nothing, so anything is possible,but I think the markets would perceive this as a long shot. I think at some point today (Wednesday) Kerry and his people get together and decide they don't want to be perceived as sore losers.

We actually didn't swim very well tonight. West Chester won seven individual events out of nine. We were just tired and not as up for it.

We accomplished a lot this year. We won 14 games, which I think is overachieving. We beat (ULL) twice and Western Kentucky, which was a big win for our program.

We always find a way to win. We have won close games all year. I just feel very fortunate to be coaching them.

We want to come here to win the Daytona 500, but today winning the pole was a big plus. I'm proud of Jeff for getting on the pole today and it's really great to see RCR back up front. We've won a lot of poles here and have been up front a lot.

We did not end the season on a positive note. But, as always, we have high expectations. We have a lot of guys returning (from a team that finished 19-7-1 and won the conference title for the fourth-consecutive year) and we have quite a few skill-players.

We did great as a team and proved to be a good team. We missed some easy shots that could have won us the game. However, I'm tremendously proud of the team and they played with great heart.

We did great and I'm really proud of the way the guys wrestled. Five of our wrestlers made it to the finals, three took away titles and eight placed. We're three time defending champions but never have we won by this sizable a margin. It's difficult for us up there because we're not part of the North coast section.

We did fairly well. Everybody won two matches except for one guy. That's usually one of our goals. I just like coming to this tournament because of the competition that we get. Even though we might take some losses for our record it'll pay off in the long run come tournament time at the end of the year.

We did extremely well. If this had been a team thing we would have won easily.

We did enough to win, and we won at a very difficult place against a greatly improved team.

We'd forgotten how it feels to win. We came into the locker room feeling like we'd won the tournament or something. We were jumping and celebrating.

We destroyed everyone in the first tournament up there. We won everything by submission.

What we're going to do is enjoy this run right now. We'll be in spring practice Feb. 24 and get ready to start over because next year's team hasn't won a game.

There are no beauty prizes here. Successful football is what we want. I bet Werder Bremen wish they had won 1-0 in Europe.

There are mixed emotions about this because usually I am riding for Sheikh Mohammed in this race, ... I have to thank him for letting me ride. It feels a little peculiar that I won this for the main opposition, but that's the way things have gone this year.

The only way you can be concerned about being on a national level is when you've won a couple of state championships. Then you're thinking, how does your state compare to other people. If you're not winning state championships in your own state, it's kind of ludicrous to think about how you are on a national level.

We're playing pretty well right now. We put together two good weeks. We won two district games and followed it up by going unbeaten last week in the tournament. Hopefully, we can keep it up.

We're playing for that tiebreaker. They won last time, but this time we're going to welcome them to our house.

We shared the title. But technically I guess you can say we won since they lost and we didn't lose a game.

We tried that last year -- we won four in a row. I don't know if anything can carry over because of free agency, and maybe a hurricane hitting you.

We've been in too many games where we have the lead and a chance to put them away and don't, especially against No. 4. It's just one game. But let's face it. This is the Packers. This is the team that has won the division as long as I can remember. I know we're all tired of losing those close ones and looking up and seeing green and yellow on top of the division.

We've been in this sort of situation before in series. We lost the first final of the VB Series a few weeks ago (against Sri Lanka in Australia) and won the next two.

We've been in the finals I don't know how many times before and not won it. This is the only national event we've never won as a program so this is a great tribute to our squad. This is a big deal for us.

We've been in some tough games and we haven't won all of them. When it comes to a game like this, you think maybe the investment of the hard schedule early pays off.

We really had to work her in and out. Michelle Dirks did a great job, got a few rebounds, hit her free throws, a few shots ... Our bench hadn't scored any points in the tournament so far and we challenged those kids today ... They're a huge reason we won this game.

We really don't know much about them. We've won some ball games this year, but we still need to get a lot better.

We're adding a coach to our staff who has won three national championships. He brings a championship work ethic and a championship legacy with him to Oregon State.

We're a better team at 0-1 than we were at 1-0 a year ago, ... I can assure you of that. This is one, in my opinion, maybe we shouldn't have lost. Maybe we won one last year we shouldn't have won. But that's football. That's the way things go sometimes.

We're 6-1, but we can't be overconfident. We could just as easily be 1-6. We've won a lot of close games.

We're a really young team that comes into this hostile environment playing against a championship contender. And we didn't play well. I mean, at all. And we found ourselves in a position where we should've won this ballgame.

We're a pretty confident team at home and no matter what the score is we are pretty confident that we can pull the game out. We knew they had a good team because they've won nine in a row. We knew we had our hands full and everybody stepped up.

We humble ourselves every day because we remind ourselves we're in second place. We've played well, we've won some close games recently. We're always going to fine-tune, but we feel comfortable and we're pretty healthy. We feel good about our chances.

We hope to have Chris and Brian next season. We would not have won the division without either one of them.

Yesterday he won a race and that put a smile on his face. That's how he was to the end. Nothing changed. Really he never seemed as old as he was, but I guess it was his time to go.

Yes, I won the Bafta. I thought the British were very intelligent.

We had nothing to lose. I think we played a very good tournament and gained a ton of confidence here. We won a close game, lost a close game to a very good team and got a win today.

We didn't wrestle the best we did all year. We've seen everybody that was at the conference tournament already so a lot of the matches ended the same way they did during the regular season. We could have won a couple more matches.

We didn't win both like we would've liked, but we still won three of four, which is always a good thing.

We didn't win because we had one kid that was a superstar. We won because we had a lot of good swimmers. That's how you do it in this sport.

We didn't win a Super Bowl together, and that's something I'll always regret not knowing what that feels like. But you and I have won more games together than any quarterback and coach combination in the history of the NFL.

We didn't want to play on our heels. We wanted to play on our toes. At the end of the day we won the game and are going to state.

We didn't want to leave it up to anybody else to let us know if we're in the tournament or not. We won this game, and now it's not up to anybody else. We're in the big dance, baby. We're there.

We were disappointed, but now, especially since we won today, we're looking forward and hoping to make a big run.

We were disappointed because it was definitely a winnable game. Nobody came out with the drive that we had the week before when we won the state championship.

We have pretty much won the bid, but we still need to reach a final agreement.

We have played so many close games this year. We lost some on crazy things and won some on crazy things. I think the key to it is we've been in so many, that nothing surprises us anymore.

We have played a scrimmage game and two regular season games and we have won the second half in all three.

We have a young team, but I was just pleased we won a match this close.

We have a young team, and our guys faced some adversity early in the meet but turned things around and did what they had to do. Our depth took over, and we won some close races. I was really pleased with the performance coming out of winter break.

We've shown the allocation of payroll across the team to be been sound. We won 100 and 105 games with it. I think we've spent a lot, and I certainly wouldn't call where we're at now inconsequential.

We've won three of our last five now. They've kind of turned the corner. Our play, our tempo, our offensive zone play is back.

We've won three in a row, so obviously something's clicking there.

We've won three in a row now. We're getting better. This is the time of year you like to see that. We feel like we're starting to turn the corner.

We've won three games in a row with Cocke County up Monday and we've got a little momentum, which is what we're looking for heading into the district run.

We've won three games here by playing great defense. Honestly, our offense has kind of disappeared in the last week and a half and we told the kids, 'Bring your hard hat and go out and win with defense.' We've been able to do that.

We've won the tight games and before we didn't. Before we were receiving the brunt of the bad things that would happen. You see what happens at the end of the games now. At the tight part of the game we're stepping up and playing through it.

We've won the series, but it doesn't mean we'll take the remaining three matches lightly.

We've won there before and we're not intimidated by that rink. We just have to prepare to go out there and have great effort.

We've won the last two. We've got ourselves back to .500.

We've won the game, he's got sent off so I hold no grudges. But if that's what you have to reduce him to then that's what happens. He's only an average player anyway.

We've won the first of a nine-game season. We have a nine-game regular season and right now we're 1-0.

We've won the division, and I think he's lost a little mental edge as far as concentration,

We've won state championships when we haven't won region. It's not over.

We've won some pretty big matches this season, and Chelsea has been a big part of that.

We've won some heat races and had some decent finishes but we haven't been able to get the luck to win a feature,

We've won some games we shouldn't. We probably lost some games we should've won. We just need to focus on getting better. If a few weeks down the line we're still in the hunt, we can talk about it later. But it's too early for our team to be talking about anything like that.

We've won some close games this year, and we're gaining confidence. It would be great to win a game by 20 points, but we'll take the wins any way we can get them. This was a great win for us, and the offense really stepped up. Some of the kids hit some big free throws and grabbed some big defensive rebounds tonight.

The fact that I won the 1,100 bucks, the fact that her name won me that money -- even though I could have used that money to pay my bills, I thought, 'I'm going to try to get that date with her.' I'm going to take that risk, because if you don't take risks you'll have a wasted soul.
