You don't throw out a mayor who's got a decent-to-good record. You certainly don't throw him out in favor of an opponent who's got a less-than-compelling message.
Doug Muzzio
We have four days to prepare for our next opponent. There's nothing we can do about today. We just have to put it behind us.
Kevin Burton
If they have a bad start, its a struggle for the night. I don't care what the level of the opponent we are playing, it doesn't really matter. If we don't come out on fire and energized, its a struggle for us. And that as got to change.
Gavin Miller
Chula Vista moved the ball better on us than our opponent last week and we responded well.
Bob Mcallister
They weren't playing help defense on me, so when we rotated, I was getting open. We usually jump on an opponent fast and we were able to do that.
Oliver Lafayette
She has a great all-around game. She plays inside and outside. She guards the top-scoring opponent. She's intense, too. She just hustles so much all the time.
Mike Workman
Our guys have to be consistent and wrestle one of their better tournaments to have a chance of making it to state. We'll need to win the close ones. To do that, we must limit our mistakes and take advantage when an opponent makes an error.
Deryll Rohda
Brandon is having an outstanding season. He just goes out there every match and attacks his opponent.

Paul Kirchhof
You're beginning to cross the line there. That's directed to your opponent.

Mark Varriano
I'm counting on our guys to finish with pride and great dignity against an outstanding opponent.
Mike Hankwitz

Jim Pedrojetti
Chris really took it to his opponent today. It was really good to see, because he was having some confidence issues, and he showed a lot of heart and guts.
Ben Lamanna
It wasn't as easy as it looked. He's really a tough opponent, he kept coming at me, I wasn't expecting him to come at me like that. He did his part and wrestled me tough.
Darrion Caldwell
We don't know much about them. I'm sure we will by the time of the game, but we will try to play our level no matter who the opponent is.

The art of politics consists in knowing precisely when it is necessary to hit an opponent slightly below the belt.
Konrad Adenauer
If you're going to pick an opponent to see where you're at, you couldn't pick a better team (than St. Mary's). Every aspect of their game is just nails.

Thomas Vinje
He was too good. I would suggest to his next opponent that he doesn't look to me for advice.
Andre Agassi
It's tough because we feel like we were in a position to end a tough game against a very good opponent in a hostile environment. We put ourselves in a position to win it.
Michael Wantz
Do we need a miracle? Yes, and why not? It will be a difficult and complicated game against a great opponent.
Clarence Seedorf
It's always good to open the season with a win. We have just have to come back, keep working and be prepared for our next opponent.
Kyle Rippy
I don't think it was because I was playing against Housman that I had a good game. I think just he was the opponent that day.
Ibrahim Jaaber
Defensively we are very strong. It has never been a problem with this team. One thing about this team that makes us so good is that we don't help the opponent.
John Bilella
The team played well against a good opponent. This was a total team effort. It was a nice win.
Dawn Murphy
I think the main difference between me and my opponent is that nobody really thinks he can win the general election.
Tom Gallagher
That way when the opponent thinks I'm going to hit it hard, I can tip the ball. That gives you another weapon.

This is going to be an interesting challenge for both sides, playing the same opponent in seven consecutive games.

Michael Coburn
It used to be that riding out an opponent was the way to go.
John Demarco
I've been an attorney, residing in Ellis County for 10 years. And like most of you my experience goes beyond Ellis County. Unlike my opponent who only had two years of experience when he was first elected.

Jennifer Botterill
I just feel so good at this weight. And I feel so strong. I can wrestle any way an opponent wants to go.
Frank Molinaro
He is a tough opponent that goes back to last year. We were a little down at the end. We had five in the finals and four dropped. This was very important because you need to end like this.
Tom Ferrell
Osawatomie is a quality opponent and we made a lot of mistakes. We just made a couple plays here and there. The opening kick off was probably one of the biggest ones.
Brad Scott
Every game means a lot to me. The caliber of our opponent does not matter. We just try to keep a positive attitude.
Michelle Burrola
It's a good and important win. The district is one of the toughest in the state. Anytime you can get a win against a district opponent, it's a good win.

Don had to overcome a lack of cardio-conditioning to fend off his Round Valley opponent in the last dual of the night. But, you expect no less from Don; he is a fighter and will absolutely never give up no matter what the odds.
Rich Ormand
The idea of embarrassing your opponent or messing up a press conference or even rattling your opponent always comes up.
George Arzt
We've scouted them a few times. They have a lot of good athletes. They're in a tough league (City League-North Division). We drew a tough opponent.
Chris Savage
This is the type of team that has their back against the wall, and that's a dangerous opponent with a great quarterback.
Bill Callahan

Cuki Alvarez
Negotiating means getting the best of your opponent.
Marvin Gaye
We've been in the race less than 30 days and our opponent has been in six months, and we're up by 25 percent. Things are really looking good.

John Chadima
Like Tim, it will be nice for Adam to scout his opponent, while Matt's first match will be important to get him into the tournament.

That's the first time I've ever gone against him as an opponent and it was something.
Artis Hicks
My opponent would not answer the most simple and direct question.

Jerry Lujan

Ambrose Bierce
My opponent has not worked down here. He has not worked in the criminal system. He has not worked with the players in this justice system.

Against a conference opponent at 7,000 feet [elevation]. He's putting up some pretty crazy numbers.
Mike Burns
There were some tense moments out there. They were a feisty opponent.
Bill Fehrenbach
Hooley may be popular in my district but so am I. And Hooley doesn't live in the district, and I do. If you look at my opponent, he lives in Polk County, where 28 percent of the voters are, and my district where I live is 72 percent.
Sen Jackie Winters
We have to take every opponent seriously, but we were kind of focused on playing Connecticut. You have to take every opponent seriously. These are really tougher games to get up for, because we're supposed to win these games.
Tyrus Thomas
If that will make our opponent not take our abilities seriously, then let us be the Cinderella.
Tony Skinn
I want to stay busy and I want to get myself in position to fight another big-name opponent. Age is just a number. I take care of myself and I haven't been beaten up.
George Linberger
If you get too emotional, then your team will play with too much emotion and too much of a high. Eventually you have to come down and you may come down too hard. We don't place much too much emphasis on the opponent. We just need to concentrate on how we play. If we take care of our business, everything else will take care of itself.
Tommy Ramos
He looked better than I thought he would. I couldn't ask for anything more. I told him he did better in his first fight than I did. I didn't know how to finish my opponent and Enrique did.
Rick Rivera
Never forget the power of silence, that massively disconcerting pause which goes on and on and may at last induce an opponent to babble and backtrack nervously.
Lance Morrow
No incumbent worth his salt would debate his opponent. The incumbent has everything to lose and nothing to gain.

Bob Buckhorn
He was a political opponent but a good human being.
Mamata Banerjee
They know they need to wrestle their next opponent, and only worry about that one. There's no sense in looking ahead, because if you do that, you might not be there.

I think it's very unfortunate for him and the state. Obviously, I'm his opponent and I don't want to see him do well.
Henry Jordan
It's to keep track of our opponent, and definitely this opponent, who keeps changing what he's saying. We want to keep track of all his lies and distortions.
Ivette Mendez
They are a very formidable opponent.
Charlie Smith
The learning curve that was so steep for my opponent when he came into office caused this situation to be exacerbated beyond what it should have been.
Freman Hendrix
My opponent called me a cream puff. Well, I rushed out and got the baker's union to endorse me.
Claiborne Pell
We are very excited to come out and play like we did. We played an opponent we had lots of respect for. Our guys came out with a great deal of intensity and I felt like we accomplished what we wanted to do.
Steve Tappmeyer
Brent is always dangerous. He is a guy who can put an [opponent] on his back. ... I think we are going to see a lot more of Brent Jones pinning guys and getting big wins in the course of his [college] career.
Lenny Bernstein
That argument doesn't make sense, ... The Pac-10 'beats itself up' more than the SEC because each Pac-10 team misses only one conference opponent each year, compared to, for example, Auburn, which misses three conference members this year.
Peter Wolfe
We asked Charles to be the anchor in the middle for our team. He is a tenacious and aggressive defender and he would deny his opponent in the middle and also has great defensive skills.
Kurt Keener
It is like having two opponents to play against. There is the opponent on the field and then there are the distractions off the field.

Claire was actually playing very well. But her opponent was really making her run. She was bound to wear her down.
Amy Jensen
They [England] played at their best and left nothing for an opponent which had won the Grand Slam last year.

Every dictator is an enemy of freedom, an opponent of law.
Demosthenes
You hope (the unbalanced set) puts the opponent into a position they're not used to facing.

Doug Walker
It is a gross overstatement, but in chess, it can be said I play against my opponent over the board and against myself on the clock.
Viktor Korchnoi
I've heard this rhetoric for a long time. In my district, I don't believe a Democratic opponent can win.
Carol Owens
Eunice is one of the most athletic players I have worked with. She loves to compete and figure out a way to defeat her opponent.
Tracy Honko
I was always a believer in stamping on my opponent if I got him down, at Wimbledon or anywhere else. I never wanted to give him the chance to get up. If I could have beaten him six-minus-one instead of six-love I would.
Fred Perry
For us, certain defenders may just have the assets to match up with a certain opponent.
Bob Slowik
It helps us a lot ? and not just because of the enthusiasm it gives us. It causes problems for the opponent. They have to call timeouts. They have false starts. All those things are very big.
Keith Brooking
Markie is going to outwork her opponent. To go from playing a couple of minutes a game last year to where she's at now has been big for us.
Craig Mortensen
We're just going to play our defense. The defense is designed to keep (an opponent) from passing. No matter who you are, we are always going to play our defense. We always have five defensive backs in the game.
John Hendrick
This is the best we have ever been against a district opponent. It is just a beginning, but it is a good one.
Becky Harrold
If you win, you stay on the strip, and another opponent comes; you lose, you get off. Dennis will be the one always staying.
Stephen Decosmo
The key for us was the one-point loss to Woodward Academy. If we win that, we're playing in our own gym against a different opponent.
Steve Lambert
We're very excited. We knew coming in that Springdale was a very tough opponent. We knew it was going to be a challenge. It was good just to get out there and get the win.
Jason Bumblis
They were nervous in the first half. They were scared. It's hard to come out knowing you're supposed to win, and you're not sure of your opponent.
Shelley Miller
A win would give us an easier opponent in the Big 12 Tournament. Everybody wants to win, and if we beat Nebraska, it will help us.
Olga Klimova
He doesn't give his opponent anything. He reacts in a thoughtful manner and he always knows his next move. He's very strategic.
Greg Foreman
It is tough on the opponent. That's what happened today.
Boyzie Todman
I was especially pleased with Morris. She played really well, moved her opponent around the court and was patient in the rallies.
Helen Donovan
This year we want to have both matches at home and avoid long journeys. It is good that we have got the Finland game sorted out and now we have to decide who will be the opponent for the other match.
Lars Lagerback
It was 60 minutes of nonstop action. Loomis is a strong opponent and a win like this will hopefully help us get into the New England playoffs.
Sarah Hill
We've just to have to work on balancing it out with the teams that aren't in the Top 10. These guys show up for big games, but we've got to show up regardless of who our opponent is.
Marty Dejarnette
I'm disappointed, but (Colfax) was definitely a really good team. They may be the best team we play all year. It's good to start off the year against a good opponent. It helps let you know where you are.
John Hooper
The one thing about this team is they go out every night and expect to win. You can't teach that. It doesn't matter who the opponent has been. They aren't cocky or look past anyone or anything like that, but they expect to win every time they go out on the floor.
Bret Tuetken
Always play a game with somebody, never against them. Always win a game, never beat an opponent.
Andrew Bailey
The 1-1 from the first leg is a good result, but we must think we are starting from zero. We must not think that Bayern can be an easy opponent.
Andriy Shevchenko
Is very good at figuring out his opponent. He knows when to bluff. I consider that one of his strengths.
Greg Raymer
It's like a mad scramble. You have to get the right opponent.
Tom Hintelman
It's a known fact that the two presidents have their problems, but Berlusconi has always asked us to be a team respectful of its opponent, on the field and off, and to win with your feet, not with your mouth.
Clarence Seedorf
I think we maybe underestimated our opponent a little bit. We weren't as focused as we needed to be and we made a lot of mistakes on both sides of the ball.
Tom Sawyer
We kept pounding it in to her and they couldn't stop her. Our energy was up from the tip and we intimidated our opponent. We kept it going all game.
Marissa Coleman
It's a fair question to ask our opponent. Can you name one single thing that Hillary Clinton has ever done for New York?
Rick Lazio
They will be a good, solid opponent. They swing away freely. This is a big match for them, with us being a bigger school than they are.
Coach Kathy Bull
[County Commissioner J. Bracken Burns estimated that the unknown opponent spent $100,000 on a campaign that lasted about a week and has failed to halt the development.] I think it backfired, ... mask.
Shannon Burns
Strength is important. But the No. 1 thing is knowing your opponent. If you know your opponent and what they like to do, and you try to take that away from them, force them to another move, then that's half the battle right there.
Jonathan Ogden
Both teams came in focused and played well. It's a good win over a quality opponent.
Steve Bieser
If I could pick an opponent, I would like to travel to Slovakia.
Tomas Ujfalusi
I have mixed feelings. It feels good to win three out of four races, but it is clear that we could have done a better job against a formidable opponent like Washington.
Dave O'neill
This is the world of big-time sports, and you all understand perfectly well that anything can happen. Furthermore, our Olga is a frightening opponent at the Olympics.
Nina Vinogradova
No, it's not (going to be easy), not at all. We've got the top seed just because we had one win over a common opponent, but Walton could be the top seed just as easy as we could.
Steve Lattizori
I think it's healthy -- as long as the candidates are running for the position, versus against their opponent.
Kathy Ward
The guys are anxious to play; I think they're hungry. But when you're on a stretch when you're not getting to go after an opponent, I think you can get a little sloppy.
Bill Potoczny
When you lose, it shouldn't knock you down to the point you can't rebound. This was a whole new match and a whole new opponent.
Carl Adams
I like to play a tough match, it's the most fun. It's more fun when its more tough. It's the most fun when you and your opponent are both playing well.
Matt Mcgranaghan
It's okay. It was important to avoid Spain. The Czech Republic is an opponent that I think will suit us.
Aage Hareide
I hope to meet a team that resembles (European qualifier opponent) Hungary.
Aage Hareide
It doesn't really matter who our opponent is; it's how we play, not how they play.
Jonathan Goodwin
He has an uncanny sense of knowing where the opponent is trying to put the ball. And he's also got a great first step.
Marty Barnes
The Dutch are braver and more creative players, but less disciplined. They want to let the opponent see and feel that they're better, but they forget to score and settle the game.
Franz Beckenbauer
We are going to have to be able to get off our blocks and tackle well. They are a very good opponent. They don't quit, and they play hard.
Rubin Carter
HARANGUE, n. A speech by an opponent, who is known as an harrangue- outang.
Ambrose Bierce

Charles Parr
Boxing isn't just about brute strength; it's about skill and outwitting your opponent.
Lennox Lewis
They're a good program and you can't play the way we did against a quality opponent like them and expect to win.
Jack Purtell
Our goal is to go out and outwork our opponent. I think we did that, and it paid off.
Mike Ortner
They're well coached with good players and good athletes. They have just about everything to make an opponent that can scare you.
John Donohue
To mortify and even to injure an opponent, reproach him with the very defect or vice you feel in yourself.
Ivan Turgenev
If you call your opponent a politician, it's grounds for libel.
Mark Russell
Some games are like that. You can even out-shoot your opponent and lose. I thought in the second half, we dominated. We had one lapse where we let them get the ball in. We definitely put pressure on them, but we just didn't make the connections we had to make.
