Jim O'brien

You're going to have your differences in the way you practice. There are no hard feelings from our side. It's an important preseason game for us, to show we're getting better.

Jeremy Shockey

I don't want to compare them, but this group has a chance to be special. We just have to go get it done on the field. They have practiced well. It's going to be fun to see what they do on Saturday.

John Chavis

We did not do well in the home meet against York. Mike Nguyen was sick with the flu. He hadn't practiced in over a week. It was nice having him back in there tonight.

We played like we practiced all week, with no sense of urgency.

Her dance was affected a little bit. But she practiced all week, so we can't blame it on the injury.

Gail Maundrell

There were probably more people at practice than at our games. I know I've never practiced in front of 10,000 people before. To see everybody is just wild.

Roger Staubach

We've practiced hard, but we're tired of beating up on each other.

Jason Maxiell

We played real physical with a lot of intensity. We left practice bleeding a lot. If there was a loose ball on the floor, we went after it. And if a ball went up in the stands, we went after it up there. There was just the attitude that we practiced with the attitude that we played with.

Dean Miller

We practiced finishing the last few days, and [Kim Brown] played awesome.

Vicky King

I've never played against Ching in the run of play. I've practiced with him on the national team, but I'm looking forward to the battle. He is a big guy who likes to post up and heads well. We will have our hands full with him and [Alejandro] Moreno, two very physical forwards.

Bobby Boswell

I could not be more proud of her. I knew she practiced those shots for a reason.

Brittany Johnson

I had a broom that I'd raise high in the air and the kids practiced shooting over the broom. I think it helped, because we weren't intimidated.

Tim Whitford

I'm proud of the way we practiced and the way we played this week. This is an awesome group of kids to coach, and today you saw their passion and love for the game.

John Fiore

I was so stoked I got it out early. I was nervous because I fell on the first hit of my first run, but I didn't care that much because I knew I had a better run in me. I practiced this run before and made it really sketchy. I was barely hanging on, but it just came together for me tonight. It seems to happen in contests for me.

Shaun White

The second game of the season, we played in that gym we practiced in this morning, and we got our lunch handed to us.

Laurence G. Brown

We've practiced it since double sessions in the summer. We need to be tough at the end of the game.

Ricky Smith

Our kids have been playing pretty good basketball. They have practiced well and their attitude has been great. It seems to be every day in practice they are hungry to get better.

Scott Radeker

The good thing about it is we've practiced with Anthony. He got an opportunity to play in the second half. It's not like we're in Week 9 or 10 and all of a sudden you throw him in there.

Derrick Mason

We didn't execute they way we had been preparing to. Basketball is about effort and execution. The effort was there at times, the execution wasn't. I just felt like we were playing not to lose instead of playing to win. We didn't stick to our game plan. We didn't play like we practiced the last week.

Craig Pippen

You prepare all week, and we practiced with the noise, but it was a different level during the game. I've played in a lot of loud places, and that was by far the loudest.

Scott Wells

It was a good lap, we ran about the same as we did in practice. We practiced a lot of race setups. I think we have a top-five race car.

We haven't practiced well since the Duke game, and unfortunately, maybe we needed a loss to recognize that. We didn't handle success as well as we would have liked.

Russ Howard

We've seen a different John Logan this week. He practiced like he knew he was going to play, which is good, because we need him.

Joker Phillips

There is some home-course cooking involved. There's a few places on this course that our players know definitely not to put yourself there. If other teams find themselves in those places they can end up making bogey or worse. We've already practiced around those areas and set up a good game plan. Hopefully our knowledge and course management will be to our advantage.

Melissa Luellen

I had no clue I'd love it this much. From day one, I fell in love with it, and I gave it my all every time I practiced.

Matt Leach

Thomas faked a late steal and the pitcher bit by throwing to first. It's actually a play we practiced on for about a half hour the day before the game.

Brian Ainsworth

We played today exactly like we practiced yesterday and we can't get away with playing at anything other than the top of our game the next three games. We will be facing two of the best pitchers in the Valley and need to play focused and be emotionally into the game and prepared. When we play focused and disciplined, we can beat anyone.

Judy Shaubach

We practiced well all week and played well the past week. They really keyed on Eric and that opened things up for Doug.

Alfred Kazin

There are some very difficult loud passages and jumps, with both hands crossing over each other, ... percussive, aggressive, harsh phrases that must be practiced dozens if not hundreds of times so that in the adrenaline-filled panic of a concert you can keep your cool and hit most of the right notes. I certainly wouldn't want to live next to anyone practicing that.

Garrick Ohlsson

We practiced against Juninho's free-kicks, ... But not enough to stop him.

Vanderlei Luxemburgo

He was tough and demanded certain things and we practiced hard. You get a little older, it's a whole different perspective then. When I was looking for another job he helped me get that job. He's done it a long time and he's done it the right way.

Tom Strong

We have made a concerted effort to make sure the kids remember to have fun. We practiced Christmas Eve morning between 9 and 11 a.m. and we had some of the coaches and ex players playing a little. We want to get them back into the mode of having fun. Nobody has their heads down.

Jeff Losch

I suggest that what we want to do is not to leave to posterity a great institution, but to leave behind a great tradition of journalism ably practiced in our time.

Henry R. Luce

From the beginning of the year, from the beginning of practice, we wouldn't even practice shooting at all. All we practiced was defense. We try to think defensively most of the time.

Darci Lewis

Greg Raymond did a super job of controlling the ball in the middle for us. I'm really happy that the team is passing the ball the way we practiced it.

Melanie Sutrathada

Against Christian, it looked like we hadn't practiced and we just threw on our pants and went out to play.

I just couldn't get into a rhythm. We couldn't get to a lot of things we practiced because we had a lot of three-and-outs. I kept my eyes on the rush. I didn't keep my eyes downfield.

Perry Patterson

The guys gave me a hard time about that. We practiced some zone in the middle of the season, just getting familiar with the responsibilities, in case we needed it.

Craig Kowal

He was a leader, a good person. He represented what a student-athlete should be, played and practiced hard.

John Harder

I thought it was going to take us awhile to get going offensively, and really it did on both ends of the floor. We hadn't practiced since Wednesday.

Tim Lindloff

We practiced playing defense against their offense for a week. We prepared really hard to beat them, so we knew exactly what they were going to run and we defended it really well.

Kristen Tien

We practiced covering the option all week. The defense did a great job of staying with their assignments.

Ron Ream

Its attitude, which it has preached and practiced, is skepticism. Now, it finds, the public is applying that skepticism to the press.

Thomas Griffith

I practiced a lot harder in the summer than I did a year ago and I think that's paying off. You have to work every day in practice in order to improve.

Aaron Murphy

The Bush administration does not desire to see Islam practiced in its pristine purity.

James Lewis and those other kids in '78, '79 and '80 laid the groundwork for our state championship teams. But especially James. The kids that followed learned from him. We all did. He always came to practice prepared, practiced like it was game night and was better in the fourth quarter than he was in the first. He left an impression.

Dale Mays

When guys get to be seniors, they know it's time to step up, ... He has practiced hard. Sometimes he wasn't the most consistent pass catcher, but he's got a little confidence and he's really going to play a bunch.

Louisiana Tech

He's a great player. I believe he practiced those. You have to.

Jason Rich

But the kids have practiced well the past couple of days and were looking forward to Orland this Friday.

Bob Hall

Human reproductive cloning should not now be practiced. It is dangerous and likely to fail.

Irving Weissman

I don't know about Andy's confidence. He's practiced very well, so it's more a mental thing than anything else. He'll have to fight his way through it if he wants to play at this level. The backup job was open in training camp and Andy won it, but that doesn't mean it won't change throughout the year.

Trent Yawney

On January 10, 1963, I was sworn in as a lawyer, so next January 10 I will have practiced law for 40 years, and I've loved every minute of it.

Johnnie Cochran

She was a great teacher and she helped me a lot. I practiced it all the time.

Mike Doss

Barnett practiced, but didn't play much last year. And Kate saw a little time last year, but not much.

We practiced for everything we thought they were going to do. Obviously once the game starts you get 60 minutes to get it done and we just didn't get it done in certain crucial areas against a good football team on the road.

Roman Oben

He practiced this week but no way were we going to scrimmage him. We'll determine more on Monday or Tuesday.

Mike Durnin

Torture is practiced systematically by the security forces, ... This was admitted by high officials of both the army and police.

The conditions were perfect. I practiced being more patient at the plate. I laid off some of the slider junk he was throwing me and I waited to get my pitch and I got it up in the air.

Jesse Seykora

We practiced all week to shut that trap down, and we just couldn't shut it down. That's a heck of an offense they're running.

Ty Belford

He's practiced the last two days. He hadn't practiced since August 22. He's getting close (to 100 percent).

Joe Krantz

This was a big game for us. We went through some changes in the lineup, and we practiced real hard. It really worked out for us.

Jeremiah Denniston

Part of the problem is that they haven't practiced any of that, and we do.

Jeanne Johnston

We weren't trying to do anything special. We wanted to do what we'd practiced: Get the ball to half-court, get it to the corners, and make some diagonal passes to the basket.

Chuck Drury

They have practiced too little and have no experience at big events, so they need help from the government and sponsors. They must go out to play higher tournaments in the UK or somewhere.

James Wattana

We practiced for two months over the summer every day, and we had games. It keeps you in shape. You play against top competition, probably the best in the world. That gives you an idea of how good of a player you are.

Ian Vouyoukas

If that's true, as bad as we practiced [Tuesday], we could've beaten Oklahoma State.

Phil Shultie

That was the week of spring break, and we hadn't practiced in a week. The girls are more focused right now than they were that day.

This game will be our second game in four weeks. We have practiced 5-6 weeks to play three games, and the girls are tired of practice.

Joe North

All but one of the attorneys who made loans practiced at one time or another before Judge Neal, ... The one exception is a former law partner who did not practice at all in Municipal Court.

Todd Graves

We didn't have time to thrash our bodies as much. We practiced compulsories 41/2 hours a day.

Brian Boitano

He practiced with our team every single day knowing he couldn't play. It certainly impressed us that he was dedicated to improving his game.

Lawrence Eyre

They got in out passing lanes. That's slow passing again, and it kills you. We weren't setting screens. We got lazy, and that's how we practiced.

Harry Defrank

He practiced on his kicking and as you can see he got better at it. When he first came he barely knew how to line up to kick the ball and now he's kicking it 30 yards. That's good for him. I think he's doing a good job and I think he'll help us out in the future.

Brian Rolle

Our serving was terrible. We practiced it everyday for a long time. I don't know what to do with that.

Jim Cook

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

Bruce Lee

We've practiced real hard all year, and it's paying off. Hopefully, we can win seven more games.

Chelsea Walker

(CD) did a good job on offense and defense. We played terrible. We didn't deserve to win. That's how we practiced last night, and that's how we played.

Harry Defrank

We practiced hard last week. We got after it. We had to get the intensity back and not accept losing.

Doug Mccrary

I like Carter to play games in. I don't like the fact that we're at a severe disadvantage because we don't have a practice facility. I've virtually practiced every hour on the clock except midnight, 1 a.m., 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. I've been in the gym at every other hour.

Robbie Laing

We're all familiar with each other and we've practiced together as a team. I love the fact that I can bowl with these guys.

Terri Depka

You practiced and you played hard. He's very structured, very detail-oriented.

Detlef Schrempf

It's great to get back to practice just because we haven't practiced for a long time. I feel like our focus is really there because we know we have a whole new team and have new people to replace.

Dennis Mitchell

We haven't played in 10 days. We've been inside a lot and practiced our hitting. Defensively, we're a better team than that. It was nice to get out. We were rusty.

Ken Ashlock

After practice [Thursday] me and Katie practiced that shot from 20 and 30 yards out. We practiced it many times so it was nice to get the chance in a game.

Anna Miller

Here and there, there are some people who are supremely endowed, ... My memory goes back to Jim Thorpe. He never practiced in his life, and he could do anything better than any other football player I ever saw.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

I thought it was exciting. I thought it was neat how he practiced three days and then was in there getting rebounds.

Brent Celek

We needed to get another center in here. Now we have two proven centers in (Antoine) Murphy and Lacey. He practiced (Wednesday) morning. He looks good.

Marty Hammond

We needed help, and Bobby earned an opportunity to come back. He had a good year for Rockford [in the United League], did well in the Olympics and practiced well with us when he got back. He plays very, very well on the power play.

Kevin Cheveldayoff

Today was the first day we practiced in here, ... So I think, you know, it was more of an unfamiliar facility for us, and we'll get more reps in the O'Connell Center, and it will be good for us.

Mary Wise

Katie on a stress fracture gives us 14 minutes and basically had to take herself out of the game. Ashley hasn't practiced but came back and gave us everything she had. But we're just really limited.

Ann Mcinerney

In the previous few days we'd practiced the way we thought we would be doing it. But we just had to work it out with each other.

Brian Reilly

We had practiced in the rain and did OK but it was still hard to play in it. We had some clubs flying. We were able to use some wind and rain suits compliments of the Charleston Country Club's Lady Evening League, and we really appreciate that.

Deb Landsaw

What you do is you just hammer on that (needed) skill and you give them lots of practice in that skill over and over again. It's just like anything else. You learn it by doing it ... Then when you get to the test, you've practiced that skill so it becomes easier and easier for you to do it.

Laverne Cooper

This is going to be my first experience playing against a team like this. This is going to be the best team we've played thus far. But we've worked hard and practiced hard. We had a good practice (Friday), and I think we're ready.

Sam Young

We had to get one week better. This showed we practiced hard, but we weren't quite all there concentration wise. But we dressed 52 players and they all played.

John Maronto

That went flawlessly, just as we practiced.

Kelly Beck

We practiced against their full-court pressure. We knew that if we got the ball to the middle we could break their press, but we had too many mental lapses in the first quarter and we couldn't get back in the game after that.

Jason Winfrey

That's all we've been doing this week. We practiced hitting the boards. We saw on film that they didn't know how to box out very well, so we worked hard to take advantage of that.

Pop Williams

I don't know what to say; I did not expect this. We practiced for about two hours and we all got along with each other. It was a real fun event.

Danielle Davis

This was huge. We knew we had to win both these games. After we started 0-4, we just came out and practiced harder and we pulled together.

Joe Buckley

This will be an attempt to tee off a ball into open space using an ordinary club. I have never played golf myself, but have practiced with Jeffrey a couple of times.

Pavel Vinogradov

Torture and ill treatment are systematically practiced in Nepal by the police, armed police and the Royal Nepal Army in order to extract confessions and to obtain intelligence, among others things.

Manfred Nowak

He was a little sluggish to start out with. It showed that he hadn't practiced for awhile.

Kevin Cosgrove

I started warming up at this place downtown for this guy and they asked me to be the headliner, ... From there, I practiced more, rocked the crowd, participated with the crowd and got notoriety.

Dallas Green

We practiced with [UMSL] over break, and a lot of guys know guys on the other team. It's one of those friendly rivalries that could end up not being so friendly in the end because we're both after the same thing, and we both have a legitimate shot at it.

Dane Moody

If the individual, or heretic, gets hold of some essential truth, or sees some error in the system being practiced, he commits so many marginal errors himself that he is worn out before he can establish his point.

Ezra Pound

We practiced against pressure all week in practice. We were going against seven and eight guys in practice just to get ready.

Evan Stokar

[McComb] practiced medicine in a way that only Dr. Frankenstein would practice medicine. He was reckless and arrogant, and it could have been prevented.

Eric Kaplan

The world is equally shocked at hearing Christianity criticized and seeing it practiced.

Elton Trueblood

One could say that in case of need, every normal and healthy woman is able to hold a position. And there is no profession which cannot be practiced by a woman.
