He's going to talk his trash, and he's going out there to compete. D. Hall isn't competing to lose either. He's competing to win — and to dominate. I'm from Vegas, and I'm putting my money on D. Hall. (Quote by - Ed Hartwell)

We didn't compete. Bottom line. From what we have been playing in the last three games, we didn't compete tonight. I'm not mad we lost. I'm mad we didn't compete. There's a difference. (Quote by - Galvin Morris)

Right now, it's not about winning 50 games, 60 games, whatever. Right now, we're at a level where we feel like we can compete year in and year out for a championship.

Losing in competition is not a sin, never competing offers no benefit. (Quote by - Hal Whiteside)

The goalie might get into their heads. When goalies play well, it gives their team more reasons to compete. And Sweden did compete. (Quote by - Ben Smith)

I think there will be some other teams coming here that we can compete really well against. Our goal was to compete in at least four games. We won two, and we got to play those two teams again, so I think we can achieve that goal. And the way the girls are, I'm sure they'll want to go beyond that expectation. (Quote by - Dan Liebler)

It'll be fun, obviously. But I'm really competing against the Indianapolis defense. It'll be exciting and something you always remember because it's the first time we'll ever compete against each other. (Quote by - Eli Manning)

The reason that we believe this is a really important program is it helps us proactively avoid channel conflict, particularly between partners that might be competing in deals and on occasions when Symantec and a partner are competing for the same deal. By registering the deal, we know who got there first. (Quote by - Julie Parrish)

Angie, Alicia and Erin competed tonight. We still need some girls to be ready to compete better. I didn't think some of them were focused on their races. (Quote by - Todd Trapp)

Germans have always voted for the party with the most competence in economic affairs. Volkswagen's announcement just reinforces the greater competence of the Christian Democrats in these matters. (Quote by - Reinhard Schlinkert)

The most important responsibility of an LPGA Tour member is the ability to compete at the highest level of women's professional golf, and that includes the ability to earn a living playing golf, ..

(Quote by - Ty Votaw)

From our side, we will provide tools and marketing messaging unique to each competency. (Quote by - Wesley Allen)

We have created islands, small islands of power, but we have not built a bridge between those islands, ..

He's got a motor. When it's time to compete, he competes. (Quote by - Pat O'Neil)

At least I thought we competed with them and I think that shows our guys we can compete with these types of teams. But any time we play a team like this, it's got to give us confidence. (Quote by - Brian Satterfield)

I believe that it's going to tell a lot about our football team. To me we're kind of on a bubble. We haven't' reached that level where we think we need to be to compete. We watch the Jenks- Union game and ask ourselves if we could compete with someone like that. Right now the answer would probably be no. (Quote by - Dan Cocannouer)

It was Doug Waechter's night. He went out there and he competed. He competed in front of his home crowd. .. He kept us in the ballgame, and that was the key. (Quote by - Eduardo Perez)

We consider Miami one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference so we see it as a test each and every time.

(Quote by - Vince Carter)

I thought the game was lost in the first couple minutes. We did not compete the way we've been competing. We've got to come out of the gate intense. (Quote by - Jessie Evans)

I love watching him play and then you compete against him. Obviously the quarterbacks don't compete against each other, but as a team, you're competing against the team that he leads. (Quote by - Tom Brady)

This certainly isn't easy to do at any age, especially 35. It's been a privilege to compete against so many great champions over the last couple of decades or so.

They're a very tough team to compete against, and they're the toughest team we've competed against so far, but I wouldn't say that's why we got creamed. We just didn't wrestle up to our ability. (Quote by - Dustin Teeman)

In both cases, IT should be supporting the core competency of that organization. That is the point. We're led astray sometimes because we think core competencies should be similar, and they're not. They're very different company to company. (Quote by - Thomas Koulopoulos)

This alliance has significant strategic benefits for any organization pursuing competency- based performance management. The set of competencies that a company chooses to measure and reward is a strategic business tool. Competencies help align individual objectives to strategy – and employee performance management makes sure the strategy gets executed. (Quote by - Dan Boccabella)

By purchasing Siebel, Oracle has acquired an additional 3.4 million CRM users and the maintenance fees that go with that kind of installed base. However, where Oracle may be able to compete with (German rival) SAP on numbers in the short term, they may have trouble competing longer term on product innovation. (Quote by - Janet White)

When you start playing 12 games, and an SEC championship game and a bowl game, 14, 15, 16 games with 85 scholarships, you're not functional. Competing in the conferences we compete in, you're down to the nubs by the end of the season. (Quote by - Urban Meyer)

I think every single point will be important, .. I think more than anything, I'll just have to be able to compete better. When you're playing Serena Williams, you have to compete better than her. I got a lot of tricks from Serena just watching her. She inspired me so many times. I also got motivated by her in the early part of my career, and even now. I just have to compete better, bottom line. (Quote by - Venus Williams)

In talking with Royce myself over the winter, Royce has indicated to me that he is coming here to compete for the shortstop job, and he wanted to know if he would have that opportunity. I think Jim Bowden told him he would have the opportunity, and I certainly told him that he would have the opportunity to compete. I never got into asking him if he would accept that [backup] role if he didn't. The guy is coming here to compete for a job. He doesn't want to talk about backing up if it doesn't happen. (Quote by - Frank Robinson)

We have to accept that that is what's going on in the world. We've been fortunate enough to compete at a national level. We have a good league we compete in. We don't worry about everyone else. (Quote by - Chris Hill)

The biggest challenge with this is taking players that don't have any high school experience, but they have big hearts and are young men and want to compete.

The eventual goals are just to have the schools able to compete. It's hard to bring in a kid and expect them to compete right away. (Quote by - Doug Henke)

Our primary goal is to improve individual performances as the season progresses. Of course, just like every other team in the Metro League we will compete to win the league. Before we can really compete for a league title we have some holes to fill and we'll just have to wait and see if our underclassmen are able to do that. (Quote by - Clint Lawhorne)

Competence is a narrow ideal. Competence makes the trains run on time but doesn't know where they're going. (Quote by - George Bush)

We're been averaging four freshmen in our lineup and there's a lot to be said for experience, but our kids can all compete at this level. They just have to believe they can compete at this level. (Quote by - Vince Trombetti)

Nobody made serious errors, in terms of how to prepare themselves. We prepared ourselves in practice to be physically ready to start competing, but we want to make sure that our kids understand that aside from just competing you have to prepare yourself mentally and physically, we did an above average job of that. (Quote by - Russ Jewett)

They beat us solidly. We just tried to compete. We'd like to crank out a hit. Our goal is to improve steadily. Today we made the same mistakes that we normally make, but it didn't cause us to give up. We continued to compete and I thought we continued to make improvements. (Quote by - Randy Jones)

I don't care how many of these things I can inject into my body, am I going to be able to compete with Shaquille O'Neal on the basketball court? No. Or would he be able to compete with me on the skating surface? No. So there's a lot to just basic genetics, body style, physical stature, and then the mental capability, too. There's more to sports than just being big and strong and quick. (Quote by - Scott Hamilton)

She [Matthews] walked onto the team three years ago without really any event that she could compete in at the college level. When she walked on we saw that she was a hard worker and she was willing to give 100 percent every day.

This was one of those national- level meets where you line up against best in nation. There were a couple areas to improve on, but for the most part I was impressed with our effort.

We're competing at the level that we need to and we've got everybody going in the right direction. (Quote by - Ralph Spry)

I really feel in all aspects of the game that we can compete with anybody. We have some strong weapons to compete. We could be right in the thick of things (in the SOC). (Quote by - Ron Beick)

If they are not going to college, they need skills. (Quote by - Robert Rogers)

I like competing. I hear about what the other guys are running, so I know I have to get out there if I'm going to compete. (Quote by - David Hansen)

I'd like to see anybody we have competing get qualified.

At the beginning of the year I didn't want to move Hunter to sweeper because I didn't think we'd create enough offense to compete in our district without him.

That was a good score for her today considering how much she's competed this week. (Quote by - Jim Fuller)

This isn't new. It's the same old, same old. We have to put in young guys to compete, so it starts with competing hard. As we compete hard, we make far too many mistakes and that's why we have the record we have. We're a mistake- laden, inconsistently competitive team. (Quote by - Jeff Van Gundy)

We just want to be able to focus on our program, on our people, on what we have to do to be as strong as we can as a team to compete for wins, compete for championships, and build that together without there being too many outside distractions.

We haven't had any steam all year. That was our best performance by far all season. All year long we've had error- filled games. Our last two games we played much better defense.

This will be a huge boost for our young team as we continue preparations for the 2006 season. (Quote by - Bryan Scales)

One big advantage to Penn is that it is the Big 5 and how special and unique Big 5 affiliation is.

(Quote by - Carolyn Femovich)

I grew up in a small town where you know everyone, .. I've been told all my life that I come from too small a town to compete with some of the guys that competed in a higher level growing up.

There are many components to this team that can compete and can compete well. (Quote by - Mike Kelly)

Britain has come on tenfold, but to be selfish about it we're all Scottish at the moment. It's about us. We'll go back to the British thing in a bit, but for the moment we've got to take all the praise and all the success for Scotland until we go back to competing for Britain because we don't get to compete for Scotland very often. We want to make the most of it, so I'm not having any of the limelight taken away by Britain at the moment, to be honest. (Quote by - Gregor Tait)

In 2006 she'll have to give up her title and compete in the Senior Division. She'll compete in Nationals this July and we're going to be getting ready for that. (Quote by - Donna Sanders)

When you watch Ohio State you realize they're so fundamentally sound and well- coached. You have guys that compete for 60 minutes so when you talk to your guys you tell them that they have to compete for 60 minutes and finish every play because that's what they're going to do. (Quote by - Mike Haywood)

If we return to competing between institutions, we're not going to survive. We're too small and vulnerable to be competing with one another. We have to find ways to partner, and that partnership could be as simple as sharing resources. (Quote by - John Clements)

Pray . . . I'm going to start there. You've just got to compete. I guess if I had to wish for just one thing to occur with our guys, it's just that we compete . . .

If they are going to compete, .. then they need to compete on the whole playing field. (Quote by - Gene Green)

We were hoping for 12- 2, maybe 11- 3. I didn't think it would be that easy. It was still the first phase of our season. Our next worry is to compete for the Big Ten championship.

(Quote by - Bruce Weber)

She can definitely compete for minutes next year as a freshman. We're confident she can compete for that [shooting guard] spot. (Quote by - Rich Conover)

Our clients compete with the institutions themselves and the NCAA to promote Division 1 basketball, and they should be able to compete freely and fairly. It's clear this came about because of money, it's a commercial restriction, and everything else is a sham. (Quote by - Bill Markovits)

We're average and we're not super ready but we had enough practice that we should be ready. For the most part we will compete well and we should be Ok. We're competing against some major programs and if we finish in the middle of the road, I'll be content with that. If we competed as well as we could, I'll be happy, and even if we do win the meet and the kids didn't do what they were suppose to do, then I'll be disappointed. (Quote by - Mike Stevenson)

Discovery is a competency test for us. If we fail in that effort, then we have probably failed to demonstrate the competency to carry out that vision at all. (Quote by - Wayne Hale)

I've been involved with Fantasy Football for more than 10 years now, and I'll keep competing each year as long as I'm still having fun.

(Quote by - Steven Richard)

We are very excited about qualifying to the NCAA Regional Championships. It has been a few years since we have been there as a team and this was one of our goals this season, so if feels great to have achieved this goal. Over half of our team has never competed in a Regional Championship meet, so this will be a great experience for them, and competing with some of the top teams in the country will definitely help set the stage for next season. Anything can happen on any given night. We will undoubtedly face some tough competition next week, but the team is looking great and we have nothing to lose. (Quote by - Carey Fagan)

We need a game where we compete in all situations. Even if we lost 6- 0 but competed in all areas, gave everything we could give, you can deal with it. (Quote by - Randy Cunneyworth)

The experience going against the best players in the world gave me so much more confidence in college. For example, we were the first team to hold down the U.S. to single- digit runs. So if I could compete against them, I certainly can compete against the teams we play here at Yale. (Quote by - Aracelis Torres)

We are here to compete, we will compete fair and square, and we will go home with loads and loads of medals. (Quote by - Gideon Sam)

The court has heard substantial, ample evidence about the level of competency, .. And while I have not decided the issue, there is clearly a problem in terms of the defendant's competency. (Quote by - Edward Fitzgerald)

None of these items are real damaging individually. But the cumulative effect is that it is likely no developer will finance the infrastructure and it will be very difficult to compete with local parks. When you add all of these things up, it is simply not going to compete with other parks that don't have all of those restrictions. (Quote by - Tracy Hegler)

We realize trade is very important to businesses, but it needs to be on an even level.

How do you compete with that as a worker in the United States with a family and kids? The answer is, you don't. (Quote by - Tim Waters)

It's about how the players play and compete. I know everybody is going to equate that on winning or losing, like they always do, but if we play hard and compete well in the game .. then I think we are building on something. (Quote by - Nick Saban)

We have competitors coming in from California, and we even have one coming from Scotland to compete in the caber toss. They all have to compete wearing kilts, even the women, who wear what we call kilted skirts. (Quote by - Joyce Oakley)

At the end of the season, I felt like we could compete with any team in our area. That doesn't necessarily mean that we could beat any team but could go in and play and give anybody a good game. Early on, we didn't do the things it took to finish games. We first had to teach the girls how to compete. Once we learned how to compete, then we had to learn how to win. By the end of the season we learned how to finish games. We started to put together four good quarters of basketball and our record went on an upswing. (Quote by - Brian Blume)

Ben Hogan was not really a big hitter. He was long enough. But Ben Hogan today? Ben Hogan today could not compete at Augusta because he did not have the massive length to compete against the long hitters.

The question is not, could Utah compete week in and week out in the ACC, SEC, Big Ten, whatever, ..

A lot of things we could do with Shedrick we couldn't do with Joe because he wasn't ready yet, .. But Joe believes in himself. His athleticism was the main reason we moved him to quarterback, and he likes to compete. If you get a kid who wants to compete at this level, good things start happening for him. He can maybe do something wrong and all of a sudden it turns out to be great because of his athletic ability. (Quote by - James Haynes)

This is tremendous. The labels have been saying all along that they can't compete with free, but there is a way to compete with free: high value content that's virus- free and gives people the chance to be first in line to buy expensive concert tickets. This is like loyalty clubs at the supermarkets. (Quote by - Jonathan Potter)

On November 20th, UF and FSU will compete on the track, and on the 26th, the teams compete on the gridiron. This is the first time this rivalry has been promoted through another sporting event like this, and we want to thank Checkers for their outstanding support. (Quote by - Jeremy Foley)

We competed the last three minutes. (Quote by - Tim Walsh)

Overall it was not a good day for many of our golfers. In golf, you are not necessarily competing against the other teams. You are competing more against yourself and the course. (Quote by - Matt Rodgers)

I really liked the way we competed in the second half. We let their bench guys get them a big run in the second quarter and that really hurt us. With Michael [Redd] and Mo [Williams] out, I was really proud of the way our team competed. We made Tracy [McGrady] work for every shot he took. We had a shot to win the game at the end, and I can't ask for anything more. I still thought we had a lot of good looks at the basket. (Quote by - Terry Stotts)
