Famous Quotes & Sayings

Rob Reiner

Ralph Friedgen

I expect him to be a great player and nothing less. When he doesn't live up to that expectation, I'm not a happy person. I'm not happy when he throws interceptions like he did today in the red zone. That has to stop if we're going to win. It doesn't matter how good he plays, if he keeps turning the ball over we're not going to win.

Jeff Steele

I expect her to be a consistent, solid player, but this exceeded my expectations. She hit the ball hard every time at bat. Even the out she made were hit hard.

I expected nothing and this is my best finish at Pearl in 10 or 15 years. I didn't hit the ball too good, but I made some putts. Maybe if you hit the ball crooked, you putt better.

I expect to see great competition this spring, and I expect to see all our quarterbacks grow and improve. I'm sure the competition will go through spring ball and extend into the summer before we know who our quarterback is going to be.

Sven Eriksson

I expect a lot of long balls to James Quinn. They have a very busy midfield so I expect a difficult game. When we're talking about Wales, about Northern Ireland, it's a dream for those countries to beat England and we have to deal with that.

I encourage students to really research each of the schools. The bottom line is that they really need to research and look at the entire package. There might be some surprises, and some strategies they will like. In this case, the student is the consumer. The ball is in their court.

I don't think it was the press that was hurting us too much. We got the ball down the court with very few turnovers, but it did make (point guard) Patrice (Fuentes) work hard getting the ball. We just couldn't make any shots. We got good looks we just couldn't knock them down.

I don't think it was so much not having Holly healthy. Holly's a great point guard, but (Poole) came in and played well. I think we just lost focus offensively as a team. Our wings were the ones losing the ball and not catching it on the perimeter.

I don't think it was a takeover. Craig came in and played the point. I came off screens and was able to take the ball and make plays.

I don't think it's a mystery that we'd prefer to run the ball. When you've got Jesse Stephens and Eugene Lyons, you want to run the ball as much as you can.

I don't think it is a really big change for me. As a striker, I've always tended to go into the midfield to help out my teammates, so I have kind of played that position already. Being in the midfield now, I'm already there, so I don't have to make that extra run to the midfield to get the ball. I always have loved the ball, and in midfield I get the ball a lot.

I don't think people should be alarmed that they're talking about this. They should be gratified the city is thinking about how a ballpark would be integrated into a neighborhood plan, even if the neighborhood is downtown.

I don't think I've ever seen her want the ball and call for the ball as much as she has in these last two tournaments. That makes all the difference. Our guards are doing a good job of finding her and she's finishing with buckets.

Gary Williams

I don't think I've ever been involved in a game with 29 turnovers. It wasn't just the point guards; it was dropped balls in traffic.

Derek Lowe

From the third-base side, I wasn't able to consistently get the ball inside. It's fun to be able to go out there and feel like you have a better chance of success.

For us it was turnovers. Every time we turned the ball over, they converted it into points it seemed like and that was hard to overcome.
