Scoring Quotations

If you've ever been to a poetry slam, you know that the highest scoring emotion is self-righteous indignation: how dare you judge me. So in that way, the poem, 'What Teachers Make,' is an absolutely formulaic slam poem designed to allow me to get up on my soap box and say, 'Let me tell you what really makes me angry.'

Scoring two goals at against Wembley against a Dutch team that was supposed to rip us apart and ripping them apart - it doesn't get any better than that.

Goal scoring is a recurring theme. If you aren't scoring then you aren't going to win games. That's obvious.

I think too many of the politicians in Washington have forgotten simple ideals like solving problems and helping neighbors. The Washington game is more about scoring points or sticking it to the other guy.

In scoring we have a lot that was not evident in the shooting. The radio is on all the time.

When David Fincher called me up a few years ago and said, 'Hey, I'd like you to score this film 'The Social Network,' I said, 'I'm flattered, but I really don't have any real experience scoring films, and I'd rather not screw it up on a high-profile project. And I like you and I don't want to compromise our friendship.'

Tennis is like, it gives you a lot of chances, but if you don't take those chances, it takes a lot of chances away from you. It's just the scoring pattern. We cannot dwell over a loss or a win for very long. We have no time to celebrate; we have no time to dwell; we have to move on. Wake up the next day and try and win the match.

I was only interested in scoring goals. I wasn't interested in anything else.

To flight approach shots lower with the scoring clubs - what I consider my 7-iron through wedges - I stand two or three inches closer to the ball than normal.

The way I look at myself, the biggest achievement in my eyes - forget winning trophies or scoring in World Cups - is that I'm still at a top club playing at a really high standard having been almost two different players.

No scoring system is perfect, but a system that provides for flexibility in scores, if applied by the same taster without prejudice, can quantify different levels of wine quality and provide the reader with one professional's judgment.

People always see the goals, and for me, strikers are not only about scoring goals.

The thing is, don't get me wrong, I still love scoring and I hate to lose but now I see myself more as making players play better. Sometime you do what you have to do and you have to perform, that is still there, but in my mind I am thinking about making the guys around me play better and that is never an easy thing to do.

Scoring goals is the best feeling you can have. I always look up at the stand for my family straight afterwards; it means everything to me that they travel to every game.

I like to see a film and then start scoring it in my mind while doing something unrelated. You just grasp a film and start working, and something unpredictable comes out from a third element. The mind, the more active it is, the more productive it is.

In September of 1960, I was blessed - and I'm not saying blessed in the everyday religious way - when Temple University accepted me after scoring 500 on the SAT. I was 23 years old, and they put me in remedial. I was the happiest remedial person on earth.

There's a lot of things that go into scoring touchdowns and leading your team. It's not just the game itself, but going back and studying tape to pick apart everything I did. It's nice to have something to go on, doing it full speed in a game situation.

I was really worried because I knew they played a lot of games in the 30s and with us, we weren't really scoring and that really isn't our game, a low-production game. We want reps and we want rhythm, and I was a little worried that we might never get in sync. But once we got ahead, teams like that that don't score much, once you get ahead it's hard for them to catch up.

I was real pleased with our weekend in general. We got down 13-1 to open the game ... Right away they hit a couple of 3s and got the ball inside; before we knew it, it was 13-1. We battled back to 20-17 and had a chance to tie it with a 3 and ended up not scoring the rest of the half.

My scoring and getting my team involved help these 20-point victories come.

One of the reasons we got him was because he's always been a very good defender. But he really improved his scoring overseas. He brings a nice balance, and it seems when he is on the court, good things tend to happen.

I was telling the guys over here that was the one thing they didn't do last year: execute with runners in scoring position. But I tip my cap to the guys for executing like that.

I was surprised to see Sanchez trying to steal, especially because of the score (3-2), the fact he already was in scoring position at second and they had their No. 1 hitter in Jason Bay at the plate.

I was pleased with our scoring production and big wins like these always boost the girls' confidence. We still need to improve defensively. We're capable of playing better defense.

I was pleased with the win, especially because we are playing a lot of girls and moving things around to take a look at the players in different spots. Several times they had players in scoring position, but our defense made the necessary plays.

Nick did a good job scoring for us and usually, it's been a different guy every night. We have five guys that can score and sometimes we get different ones every night.

Nick Schreiner played one of his best games of the year off the bench. He isn't scoring a lot, but he hit the boards hard. When it comes down to crunch time, we're going to need him and I think he'll be there for us.

When I came back, we decided to give it a try and see how I would do. I told them: I can give you a good at bat and I think I can help the team. I can hit a home run now. I can get a base hit to right field. I'm just a lot stronger -- and I've been in these situations, runners in scoring position.

When I come in I want to spark it up. Get some steals and get the tempo up. We were scoring easy baskets when we got our defense going.

We had a very poor shooting percentage. We created a lot of scoring opportunities but couldn't put many of them on the board.

We had balanced scoring for us with Minor, Hines and Reiser. Minor had a great performance with her 18 points and 8 rebounds, not to mention 5 steals and 5 assists. She was 7 of 10 from the field. She also handled the ball well tonight. (Hines) does not want her season to end. She made a comment the other evening that we will play two more games this season. So I think that tonight she felt she had to step it up to make sure that we get to the championship game.

Somebody is always going to play good. The guys that complain are guys like me who aren't playing well, or not scoring well. You feel like you're hitting good shots and not getting rewarded. Right now, I feel like I'm not a good player. I shouldn't feel that way.

Obviously, when you do something with drama and comedy in it - and by that, I mean a scene that has drama and comedy in it - you know the minute you introduce music, you're either scoring the drama or you're scoring the comedy, and therefore the scene becomes either dramatic or comedic.

Obviously without Alana this year, we would have struggled more. Alana improved her performance each game. As the season went on, things became easier for the younger kids and it was because of Alana. Alana stepped up her game and gave us scoring every single night.

Obviously, we're not some of the teams in the past. We don't have as much depth as we had in the past, scoring wise. We did play bad a few games, and with Patrick (Roy) in net and (Peter) Forsberg and all the tools we had offensively, we could still win the game.

Obviously, we're taking away a lot of positives for the season. We've got a national scoring leader, conference player of the year and we're one of the top scoring teams in the nation. I think we're seeing a constant improvement in this team. The way the season ended doesn't diminish what the accomplishments were this year.

Obviously we've been having some trouble scoring goals lately. We're telling the guys they've just got to be patient. We're getting good chances, the goals will come.

Of course I hate it, ... The changes are likely to ruin the game. They've made a scoring system that doesn't exist.

Point guard is my natural position. I don't have to worry about scoring as much. It's more of a leadership role, communicating with my team and getting guys the ball where they need it to make plays.

Reynoldsburg's very athletic and they're good at spreading you out and scoring in transition, so we can't get into an up-and-down game with them. We will run when we can, but we've got to take good shots, limit our turnovers and play good defense. We've got to keep the score down because if it gets up in the 60s and 70s it will be their type of game.

Nothing is a guaranteed, but I'm hoping we improve with men in scoring position. Last year, we had a lot of opportunities and we didn't score. How we do that? Hopefully, it just comes with experience. We have to be more disciplined at the plate.

No doubt, it's nice to be able to come back with a guy like Casey. It was a very strange game for us hitting-wise. We hit the ball well, especially in the early innings. But you've got to hit it with guys in scoring position.

Now rather thank I God there is no riskOf gravers scoring it with florid screed.Let my inscription be this soldier's disc.Wear it, sweet friend. Inscribe no date nor deed.But may thy heart-beat kiss it, night and day,Until the name grow blurred and fade away.

Obviously Charlie is a very good player, and our seniors have really accepted him. When he came back, he did give us an added scoring punch, but what gives us defensive pressure-wise makes our kids a little more confident. Our kids have accepted him and it's a tribute to our seniors that haven't let his distractions become the team's distractions. They've done a nice job implementing him back in the lineup.

Obviously our goaltending has been great, ... And we're scoring at opportune times. If you can capitalize on those early opportunities, it really gets you going.

Obviously our goaltending has been great. And we're scoring at opportune times. If you can capitalize on those early opportunities, it really gets you going.

Obviously, the ball is in our court right now, ... Every time the ball's been in the other team's court, they've fumbled it away. Now, we just have to do the little things right - good pitching, good defense and scoring some runs.

Obviously, the ball is in our court right now. Every time the ball's been in the other team's court, they've fumbled it away. Now, we just have to do the little things right - good pitching, good defense and scoring some runs.

Obviously, the big issue is we're not winning any gosh darn games. It's gnawing at us as a team and a coaching staff. I don't like to be a coach that talks about playing well if we're not winning, but we've got goaltending that put us in position to win both games. The plain clear thing is that we've lost the scoring touch.

Now we're really seeing even the byproduct of the style that he's comfortable with and the confidence that comes from winning. We're achieving the success as a team that comes from 23 guys paying attention to team defense. We're not taking anything from what Brian has remarkably been able to accomplish, because it's extraordinarily hard to get a shutout, period, let alone to think of four in a row. But it really is an entire roster sacrificing anything and everything needed to get in front of pucks or deflect pucks or controlling positions defensively to be aware of taking away scoring opportunities.

No, I like the game even though it can be pretty rough on goalies sometimes. I like it when we're scoring them the way we were tonight. I don't think there's much the goalies can do, but just be ready at all times, and the defenses will figure it out and get better. As long as we win, I'm fine with it.

People who work in horror know they are contributing to a genre that has always been loved and will always be loved - privately. It's the forbidden evil working behind the curtain. My job scoring a horror movie is like being the barker at a carnival. A good barker can get anyone to walk into the roped-off tent.

Rice is a good basketball team. Offensively they scare you because Almond had scored (30-plus points) in their last four games. That especially concerns you when our strength is not scoring points.

Richard Jefferson is going to be more involved in Game 2. We know that Jason Kidd is going to be more involved from a scoring standpoint in terms of his aggressiveness. Carter, you can talk about his bad shooting, but he still had 31 points. He missed a lot of point-blank shots he normally makes. They're going to be more balanced in their attack.

Obviously, I think we need to put the ball in the end zone down there. It's still about trying to do our job, scoring more than them. But there's no doubt we want to score more in the red zone.

Obviously, I thought we could have scored a few more runs. We left a lot of guys on base and ran ourselves out of an inning. We certainly had the possibility of scoring more runs. But any time you can come away with a win, it is a good day.

Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. What if they decided to improve scoring in the NBA and made the hoop 4 inches bigger in diameter? You don't want to artificially improve scoring. What if the NBA developed a half-court shot that was worth 5 points? You can't do things like that.

My first two-goal game was very satisfying, also because playing central defense it is not often that I have scoring chances,

I didn't really see a quality scoring chance after that.

I go to the net and try to create some scoring chances.

I don't for a second regret scoring that goal with my hand.

I didn't want to be down 1-0, but our team did a great job of scoring for me, ... Moyer usually does real well against us, so I think it's a good sign that we scored four off him. That's a credit to our offense. We can score in many different ways. I was really excited for Vlade. He's really fun to watch. You don't want to miss any of his at-bats.

I didn't get to see high scoring because we're not one of the high-scoring teams in the league by any means. When it happened it was a pleasant surprise. If you were to ask any coach, when you're down four goals, you've got to change the approach of the game.

I didn't like playing against him. He was a competitive, hard-nosed player. He brings a lot of grit and scoring to the table and that's why we got him.

If we can score a couple runs early we're ready to go, but when we sit around and wait for something to happen, you're just not going to win a lot of games scoring one run.

I don't know the competition level that they were playing against, but obviously if you're scoring that many points, you have weapons.

I don't know what the record is for scoring the fastest goal on your first shift, but that's got to be up there. That's a great way to start your NHL career.

I don't know what went wrong. They were very opportunistic in the first period. Good scoring chances. A few nice plays from gifted players.

If we did, it wasn't a scoring chance. I'm not disappointed at the loss, I'm disappointed in the way we performed.

If we had a short field, some of those drives would have been scoring drives. We just played on the wrong side of the field today.

If we're down five goals, obviously guys are a little more edgy. It just seemed like both teams weren't really worried about scoring anymore. They just wanted to make sure they were sticking together as a team out there.

If we're going out and scoring one or two runs a game, it is tough to win ballgames.

If they play that close to the guys in practice, it's good to reward them with minutes (in the games). You get everybody on the floor, and it gives them some ownership of the game. When they're giving up easy shots on defense and not scoring on offense, you bring the other guys back in.

We needed a good start. They have a lot of young guys, especially on defense. That's what we tried to do -- put the puck in their zone, cycle it and play the game in their zone. Once you do it, you get a lot of scoring chances, that's what happened.

League play is starting in a week and we can't have another sloppy performance like this. Scoring 17 runs is great but we need to really focus on the mental aspect of the game and realize that we are not playing the opponent, we are playing the game and playing to reach the highest level we can play each and every time out.

Lee doesn't really have a go-to player now. They might have a hard time matching up. They'll probably have to spread their scoring around.

Last year, they were scoring about four points a game, now they're scoring 44 points. They never quit and they always bring a good attitude. That's what keeps them going.

Last year we didn't start too well on the road, and it's nice to get off to a better start. Knowing that we're scoring some runs, it's always nice to put our pitchers at ease a little bit and let them relax.

The place was going crazy. We got some real breaks at the end. We did the same thing the other day vs. (Arlington Catholic), trailing by 10 with four minutes left but scoring the next 19 points.

When you can shoot the ball like we did early, and you get off to a good start, good things are going to happen. We got good, balanced scoring from Kendrick (12), Simmons, Allen, and Childers (9) and we benefited from some good, easy buckets.

When you can't capitalize on scoring opportunities you're given, you don't deserve to win.

We need to play at least as well as we did in the first leg. But I am convinced we are capable of scoring at least one goal.

We need a result and we are confident of pulling it off. If we can keep a clean sheet, that will be a big bonus. Then you have got a draw and maybe you score because we are always capable of scoring a goal and that would be an ideal scenario.

We're getting very good. Offensively, we're getting more scoring from our bench and our starters besides Quigley.

Losses don't come much tougher than this one. We outplayed them the whole game, but two mistakes cost us. We had some great scoring chances but we didn't finish.

(Mueller) has been scoring a lot of points for us. But the way she passed the ball on the press is what impressed me tonight.

She's a great scorer when she gets going and we're going to need that. As you saw (against Darby), we have to put points on the board. If she's not scoring it really puts us in a bind. Hopefully this game jump starts her.

Since we've been home, it's only been the one game where we scored any runs. We're missing out on a lot of chances and not hitting with men in scoring position. Everybody is frustrated that we're not swinging the bats better.

Since the first day of training camp, he talked about us playing more like a playoff team and scoring playoff-style goals. It's a theme we hear every day. Sometimes you don't like the news the coach is delivering, but he's the coach. It's not his job to fit in with us. It's our job to fit in with him. You need one guy in charge, and he's the guy.

My job is to stop shots and keep the team in a position to win. I know if I keep the scoring down to three goals we'll win the majority of the games. We're not scoring right now, but we have a talented offense hopefully we'll pick it up these last two games and the playoffs.

Megan is really efficient. She has a command for the game. She directs her team. She brings a really great calmness to her teammates and she also has the ability to score. A scoring point guard makes that person even more dangerous.

Maybe, we caught them by surprise a little bit. We're not a pressure team. Most of our games are played in the low 40s - the 30's sometimes. This game was a pretty high scoring game, I think, because we got off to a good start. After that, everything rolled together.

Mitchell's two dives were real tough. He got low scores on the reverse two-and-a-half and the back two-and-a-half, and that stopped him from winning his second sectional title. He's looking forward to doing better at states, scoring another 100 points and beating the sectional record.

Mike has learned he's had to work harder at this level and that scoring isn't as easy as it was in high school. He was always bigger and more athletic than people he played against. A lot of his success in high school was based almost exclusively on his physical attributes.

Maxim is such a dangerous player with the puck, he draws players to him, especially after scoring a goal like that. I look for that, you seem to get a little more space when Maxim has the puck, so it's my job to get to an open spot, because he usually finds a way to get the puck to you. He made a great pass and all I had to do was hit the net.

Shannon is on track to set a new school, in-career scoring average record. I am going to miss both the seniors big time; they are my go to players. I depend on them on the course for a core during qualifying.

Shay's the one who killed us. She did such a nice job moving around on the court. You look at her shot chart, and she was just scoring from all different spots on the floor. That was hard for us to handle.

She always does her part as far as scoring is concerned. She's basically had to carry the team. She's a good shooter and our most consistent player.

She had by far her best offensive game. She's done a good job for us all year as a point guard taking care of the ball. Tonight she started stepping up and scoring for us. Hopefully, that's the start of something offensively for us out of her.
