Division Quotations | Page 2

Of all the lines of division in Great Britain, the most important politically has been that which is least clearly traced by the hand of nature.

Of 4,000 universities and 117 Division I football programs, only one is called the U,

One of my greatest sadnesses at the prospective break-up of the Union is that it will set English, Welsh and Northern Irish against Scots in a bitter division of the debts and resources of the whole of the U.K.

One of the things that works well for us is that we're Division III and we play three D-III teams, a D-IV team and the rest are all D-II. A lot of them are top in the division too, so when we can get to where we aren't playing those teams we can really make some noise.

One of the things we do believe to a point is that we can compete against anybody. From what people say, (Hillhouse is) the most talented team in the state. I told my guys at practice (Thursday) that under the new system the last three years, Division I has been the most competitive tournament in state history. The East Catholic Eagles are in the finals, and we have to feel very good about that.

One misconception is that we work for insurance companies or the Division of Worker's Compensation. We're doctors who take care of patients the same as anyone.

One of the achievements of our generation of feminists was to emancipate women from the division between being interested in clothes and appearance, and being serious and ambitious. I am of the first generation that could go to Biba, wear miniskirts and get a degree.

My goal was to play at the Division I level, with a chance to play in the tournament. This is a great opportunity not only to play basketball, but to receive a good education.

(My Dad) told me, 'You have the chance to go to UMass and be a good kicker and a decent baseball player,' ... 'or you can play big-time Division I football, now pick.'

No one's left us in the dust in our division. There could be a 4-1, 5-0 team in the division who would be hard to catch. But we certainly have not been left in the dust, and it gives us a shot.

My dad has had the biggest effect on me. He played Division III basketball in college. He got me into it early and coached me when I was younger. He's supported me all along and has really kept me motivated.

No child should be raised in a system. A system isn't a parent. Even the system knows this, which is why the Children and Family Services Division puts so much effort into finding permanent homes for the kids who are never going to be reunited with their birth parents.

Next week we need to iron out the wrinkles and get ready for a tough Malvern team, ... This will be for the South Division so we need to have a great week of practice.

Obviously, anytime you get beat and go 0-9 against teams in your own division, sure, those things hurt. We just haven't played that well. Do we still play them 16 more times each? Yeah. So who's to say we can't win 12 or 13 from each of those teams. We could do that, too. That's what's great about playing teams in your division so many times.

Obviously the division (title) may not happen, but the opportunity to get into the playoffs is there, and that's what we want. We don't have to wish on any other teams to win or lose. If we win, we're in -- and that's all we can ask for.

Oakland has really improved itself, Seattle has improved itself and Anaheim has a ton of young players coming up ready to help them. It's a really competitive division and we had to take some steps to stay in the mix.

Now this constitution has come out, and it didn't come out as the national compact that we thought it was going to be. And there's division there, ... And that caused the situation to change a little bit.

Peter has a broad range of operating management and corporate experience, which will serve him well as he takes over the Brunswick Boat Group, the company's largest division. Under his leadership, both our Life Fitness Division and Brunswick Bowling and Billiards Division have improved their financial performance and operating margins. The Boat Group will benefit from Peter's insights and leadership." ()

Obviously, this is exciting. It's special. No, make that real special, given the history of this organization with its pitching and all the winning. There are a lot of good pitchers here. And how many consecutive division titles have they won? Fourteen.

Obviously, this tournament is one of the key things for us. We're going for 14 in a row. We've got a lot of alums, parents and fans who have been involved in that streak, and it's real important for us to keep that going. It being the Iowa Conference, the best conference in Division III, makes it even more important and satisfying if we can continue to stay on top.

Newspaper revenue was a bit weak, but television was in line. Better-than-expected margins in the newspaper division drove the upside surprise.

Revenue growth in our gaming division has not been sufficient to offset the combination of operating cost increases and Blue Square?s lower win margins.

Right now, I don't know what I want to major in, ... I would like to play Division I, but we will see how things work out.

I didn't really have any hesitation about joining Inverness. People here had spoken to me and I came up to look around and saw them training and playing and I was very impressed with what I saw. They're a great bunch of lads, and it was great to win the First Division with them.

I got pretty close. Ultimately, I thought about it more as an athlete than as a coach. Not being a Division I coach, Olympic opportunities are limited. I didn't think it would ever happen.

I'd like to get a couple of our girls in (districts) as individuals. It should be a good, fast meet and real good competition. Division I and Division II are getting closer and closer. It raises the bar a little bit and pushes everybody to do their best.

I don't have a separate benefits division to look into the plan, so I've got to keep it simple,

I don't know that it's because of the success Green Bay's had, but because of what we want to do as a team, and the kind of talent we think we have and us wanting to get off on the right foot in this division with two division games right off the bat,

If they have to win (the NFC South) by going through us, we don't want to be any part of that. We've been playing for pride the last five or six weeks, but now we can play the spoiler against a division rival.

If we can get healthy come Division 8-5A tournament time, we'll make a run. We'll try to weather the storm.

If they are the best team in our division... then our division is up for grabs.

Louis Chabot has demonstrated to the team and the coaching staff that he is a capable Division I goaltender, ... Unfortunately, he is behind one of the best, if not the best goaltender in the nation. It's a very difficult situation, but Louis has handled it very well and has improved a lot over his first three years at Cornell. We have a lot of confidence in him, and he has the ability to do the job.

There are major implications for amateur rugby and the future success of division one and we don't want to rush through the process.

There are two challenges for a club, the first is the regular season, a six-month grind. So if you happen to win your division and qualify for October, I think that is the hardest thing to do.

When we saw him and got the nod that he was okay, we got back to work and got the division locked up. We'll take it from there.

When we started out (as freshmen), we were like the youngest Division I team in the country. So basically we just had to buy into what our coach was telling us. He always tried to keep us focused. We always believed he knew what he was talking about. We stuck with it, and it paid off for us.

We're looking at things realistically. To even give ourselves a chance at the division we know we have to win both games against Everett. We're much more concerned with how we're playing than the teams ahead of us or behind us.

We're glad to still be playing. I think it's a tribute to the team that we are one of the top 64 teams in Division II.

Lemoore is going to let us know exactly where we are in Division 2. I have to problem with playing Union in the final. It will be a tough challenge, and something Tulare fans would like to see, but playing Lemoore will let us know where we are, and what we need to work on.

Let's say the judge finds that Microsoft is a monopoly and says, OK, I'm going to get my Sword of Solomon out and then we'll have 'Microsoft Applications' and 'Microsoft Operating Systems,' ... The applications division would then pursue other operating systems than Windows to put its applications onto, and the operating systems division would pursue ways to be more competitive without having to tie it to the applications.

Mt. Hope and North Kingstown are both physical teams. We'll have a battle if we get there. They did the right thing with the seeds. They did it based on record not division winners. St. Ray's is on a collision course with North Smithfield in the semis. It should be interesting.

Momentum going into the playoff is very underrated and that's what we're striving for. It's kind of a curse, but we don't really have anyone chasing us now in our division and we've got to go out with the attitude that we want to finish first overall and win the President's Trophy.

She's a great player, she's being recruited by all Division I schools.

My main concern right now ... is that it leaves the criminal investigations division without people who possess a lot of experience in that area. I'm concerned about what that may do to that division and to solving some of these crimes.

Mike Maslowski has been an extremely important player for this franchise since '99. He has grown with the Chiefs from his days as an NCAA Division III player, through NFL Europe, to starting linebacker and the most prolific tackler in a single season for this team. I don't think it's a coincidence that our defense began to decline when we lost Mike to injury in 2003.

Mr. Aristide has resigned his office and has left the country. And now the Haitian people are involved with grasping democracy and moving forward on an interim government. And that's where the focus should be right now. And any comments that would stir up more division are not helpful, as the Haitian people move toward a greater democracy.

Motivation for creating this division is to more fully account for the full range of behavioral responses of major tax changes.

She and her entire division will have my unstinting support,

Most of these kids would be playing Division 1 football if they had better grades and that is kind of what they are doing here, trying just to get their grades up.

She's a Division I player and I think she showed why tonight. You have to know where she is at at all times.

She's a Division I player. When we needed some baskets inside, we went three times in a row to her. She started dominating the boards.

She's a freshman and still new to Division I. We made sure to know their plays and we have a good idea of how she's going to play. I get the pleasure tomorrow of marking up on her and I'm going to make sure she knows who Boston University is and that a freshman isn't going to come out and score on this team.

She has to be one of the best, if not the best, that I've had in my 28 years coaching at Lincoln. I've had 11 girls go on to play Division I, Kristin could definitely be the 12th.

She has gotten used to Division I pitching. She has been really selective at the plate.

She had already played Division I, and we needed another post player.

Laissez faire does not mean: let soulless mechanical forces operate. It means: let individuals choose how they want to cooperate in the social division of labor and let them determine what the entrepreneurs should produce.

People do not cooperate under the division of labor because they love or should love one another. They cooperate because this best serves their own interests.

When I was a teenager in Leeds I was a big Joy Division fan, so I loved New Order too. 'World In Motion' was great, it was a bit subversive in a way. We didn't try to be subversive - we were looking to produce one of those communal moments that brings everyone together.

Lucas is in his first full year on the mat. He came from the football team. He's been on a bit of a down streak, but I think he will have a little more success in the Division III postseason tournament.

Scottish play in London Division One and will provide a good test as they've recruited a lot over the summer. We're still trying a few new combinations but the bulk of the squad against Scottish will be involved against Dings.

Sharon created a precedent that could lead to a division of Jerusalem,

Many people will say, Division I-AA, gosh, why did Indiana struggle? But this is really a good football team. They played very well. Their defense gave us problems, and obviously they ran the ball way too much.

So far we've only lost to one Division II opponent (Lake Superior State). We still have some tough matches coming up against teams ranked ahead of us in the region.

She's drawing interest from all the major Division I programs. The hoopla surrounding this, there's just nothing like it.

She's so smooth. I've seen most of the point guards in Division I, and she's the best ball-handler in the state.

She was in Division II last year and they moved down this year. I guess that's a pretty good day. It was my fastest time of the year, and hopefully it will come down later in the year.

She was always very conscientious, lots of energy, giving 500 percent. She had been at the school for seven years, going from the advanced division to the junior company and to playing Clara.

She's going to be a major Division I post player.

She's going to be a really fine basketball player for as long as she plays. I really think she might be a Division I player someday.

She's probably fitter than most Division I athletes.

The only meaningful fighter and champion in the super middleweight division is Jeff Lacy, but if Joe wanted to come to the States then we would speak to Frank Warren.

Obviously, (winning the division) is big. To be No. 1 is always important..

We were competing against schools from Maryland and Delaware, and there was a separate division for D.C..

We won the division (this way). You lose a game and have a bad shooting night and people question what you were doing. This is a guy who's an All-Star and has done so many things throughout the season there's no need to question it now.

We've never backed down from who we've played in the whole time we've been in Division I. We've played a lot of good teams. We've lost by 40 and 50 a couple of times.

Perhaps the most important principle on which the economy of a manufacture depends, is the division of labour amongst the persons who perform the work.

When fear displaces reason, the result is often irrational hatred and division.

When profits are pursued by geographic interchange of goods, so that commerce for profit becomes the central mechanism of the system, we usually call it "commercial capitalism." In such a system goods are conveyed from ares where they are more common (and therefore cheaper) to areas where they are less common (and therefore less cheap). This process leads to regional specialization and to division of labor, both in agricultural production and in handicrafts.

Kenyon is opening a new facility and we will be the second opponent to swim in their new pool. The Ladies are a powerhouse in Division III swimming and this should be a good test for us, swimming against a quality opponent on the road.

Kevin has opinions and is frustrated. We're all frustrated. We're not happy with where we are. Nobody wants to not be fighting for the division lead. I think he just spoke his mind on the feeling of everyone, from (owner) Glen Taylor all the way down to our trainer.

Hank left a legacy at Gonzaga. He definitely helped lay the foundation for what Gonzaga basketball has accomplished in recent years. He took us into Division I and was behind Gonzaga joining a conference for the first time as a Division I program. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I would think you'd be able to run an auto company's North American division out of there, ... Considering they already have the manufacturing operations there, that would make sense.

Kids are size conscious. They realize they need to get bigger to get these Division I programs to look at them.

Kids don't know who to trust. They sense the division in the community,

Kids have to understand that steroids will not make you a Division I player. If an average high school player starts taking steroids, he's not suddenly going to become a D-I player. These kids are also paying way more than they should for these supplements. Food is the best supplement they can get. Nutrition is the key. Kids don't need that stuff. At their age, they have so much going on with their bodies naturally. They don't need supplements.

He just can't make 147 any more. We knew that. Cory had been struggling with the weight for the last three fights. He makes 154 easily. He can eat properly without starving himself and all that craziness that we had to go through. We are looking at coming into the 154lbs division and pretty much do the same thing we did at 147lbs, win all the titles.

He leaves an enormous legacy that all of us, not just Bob and myself, but every member of the news division remembers and takes to heart.

This was a good meet for us. We got to see a lot of the better Division II teams and some of the better runners in the Midwest.

He'll be looked at by a lot of Division I schools next year.

He is the best Division II player in the country. ... I've seen some good Division I point guards (Steyn spent three seasons at Oklahoma State), but I'd take Sheldon every day.

He just didn't have Division I stuff. He was 6-to-7 miles down from where he is now.

Growing up, my dream was to play Division I basketball. I also knew that one day I would like to be a Division I head coach. The Citadel was the school that allowed me to do that. To be able to play basketball and be a head coach at the same school is a dream come true.

I am the Director of the Computer Networks Division of the Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California.

I can't do anything about the last couple of years now. They are a different team now and so are we. We're excited to play some great competition and why not start it against the West Division favorites? I just hope the weather complies.

I feel terrible. I'd like to get out. I'm done with the army. I want to move on. My commitment was up last December but they extended the whole division until January 31, 2007,

I can't imagine all the clubs in the division continuing to play under .500. But stranger things have happened.

I don't think anyone has an idea of who will win this thing. It's wide open and I think you have to look at every single team in the division as having a shot at winning it.

Getting to play those types of team is what makes Division I so exciting. I really like the environment we played in last year. I'm excited. They've got really good fans, so you know you're going to a good crowd. That's good old basketball right there. We gave them quite a scare last year.

Getting to the second round is a real accomplishment for this team, and I'm happy we made it this far. I think girls played real well, especially since Revere is the ranked fifth in the state of Ohio (in Division II).

From here on out until April, all these games are important. But this was a division game, so it was even bigger.
