I thought we had won. The flags were actually blocking them on the scoreboard, and I could only see a '1' in front of our name. I was all jumping up and down for a minute and a half. I got out of the pool, and no one had said anything about a tie. Then I looked up, and saw two 1s.

Barry Gildea

I don't think that's the problem. I'm in the best shape ever in my life. We had four guys run a five-minute mile. But we have to get used to the energy and the emotion that you have to have to do that.

Jason Horton

I was the first one to the ball, then he made that cut at the last minute, and after that, we couldn't get him down. He found holes.

Shae Sanford

That's amazing. I had to digest that for a minute.

Dave Nutting

I taught myself to play the piano. I've always been able to play, the minute I could get my hands up. I've always wanted to play the piano. It's the only instrument I've ever really liked, and it's the only one that's ever interested me.

Jerry Hunt

They're the first ones to break the 200,000 transactions-per-minute benchmark, and that's critical. They're now able to offer a lot more applications performance for lower price configurations.

It's a 60-minute game and there are going to be ups and downs along the way and what you have to do is respond when there are a couple of goals against you. We have a mature group and it's our senior leadership that makes it happen.

Tom Mccabe

I would book it now and shop around. Talk to your travel agent and try to get the very best fare. But I wouldn't expect the fares to go down at the last minute.

We're college students. We do everything at the last minute.

Blake West

I said a 10 second, not a 10 minute car.

Jeff Matthews

Claire and McCall played every minute of every game last year, and that wasn't by chance. They deserved it.

Colin White

With 17-minute periods, we have learned that it is a long game and that you have to be patient. The players know that. If the coaches are feeling panicked, the players will feel that, too.

Greg Vannelli

We were lucky enough to run across some of the old Clover Athletic Club minute books from the 1930s that somebody had. We thought those were lost.

John Hand

He's been lying from the minute we started talking to him. Him leaving with the johnnie just added to the fact. We can't lock someone up for being shot.

Frank Pasquarello

You can't say enough about Kinney and the shots that he hit. He was 3-for-3 from 3, and those last two were big. I couldn't even believe he shot that last one with a minute left.

David Baumann

People begin to become successful the minute they decide to be.

Harvey Mackay

It sent up a red flag for everybody to address that issue now so it won't come up at the last minute.

On those long notes behind the trumpet solo, if anyone lets his mind wander for a minute he is dead.

It was a hard-fought game every minute of the game.

David Gaude'

That last minute was just crazy. But we got the stop we needed at the end. You can't panic at a time like that.

Greg Wall

Sure, it's hard coming into a game with a minute left, but this is what I need now. I need to start getting used to it, get into the games, even if it's at the end. It's good to be in there and to try to get a feel for the court again.

Lauren Martens

It seems like yesterday we started. It's been 17 years, and worth every minute.

Bob Carpenter

At the end of the game, in a two-minute situation, we were driving the ball. He made a couple mistakes he should have not have made, but overall I'm very pleased with Dustin.

The ideology behind these theaters was that they provided the architecture of fantasy. The show began the minute you set foot on the sidewalks and saw the marquee.

The meeting times were changed at the last minute. On Dec. 27 the critical second reading was changed from Jan. 17 to Jan. 3. There just wasn't enough notice for the second reading.

Ron Powers

It only took a minute for it all to go down. It had to all be done outside the building, away from the meeting as quick as it went down.

Linda Huber

We just happened to make the last play. If the game lasts another minute, (Missouri State) wins. That's just how this game was.

Jane Albright

A cat can maintain a position of curled up somnolence on your knee until you are nearly upright. To the last minute she hopes your conscience will get the better of you and you will settle down again.

As you journey through life take a minute every now and then to give a thought for the other fellow. He could be plotting something.

Hagar the Horrible

Everything that could go wrong in the last minute did. But we had a great defensive stand.

You have to be committed to the Yankees 24/7 because the owner is. The minute other things in your life become important, you're better being elsewhere.

Archie Miaway

It probably took him less than a minute to get to the victim.

Howard Smith

This year's squad can shut anybody out in the country. Last year's squad could score a goal at any minute.

The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.

Henri Cartier bresson

They had a really creative show. But it came down to something so minute.

Alex Mcelroy

If he's going to run somebody, he's not going to run a fourth-line center. At best, it was a two-minute penalty.

Michael Peca

More than anything else, we just wanted our guests to get the same entertainment benefits as they have at home. Consumers want up-to-the-minute options and we want to be able to give it to them.

Matthew Stern

Our team played good hockey from the drop of the puck. It was a back and forth game, and the final minute was a reflection of that.

Bob Gaudet

Hank Thomas

There we'll have a 45-minute program, and we'll honor the oldest living veteran in Lee County. We'll give him an appropriate gift and acknowledge his service.

What I'd like to do for summer is bring in some color, but always keep the grey, ... Because right now, the collection sits on the edge between lifestyle and fashion but the minute it goes over to fashion, it kind of loses the lifestyle feeling.

Norma Kamali

Lincoln played very well and showed what a quality player he is from the minute he got in.

Mirko Slomka

Every year it's the same thing. You wait until the last minute, and you run down to the Tax Commission and drop off your returns.

Jeff Shields

Take a five-minute course or read it on the Internet, whatever. You hit a grouse instead of the lawyer.

Jay Hakkinen

I was extremely frustrated when it went in. No matter how a goal is scored, when you give one up like that in the final minute of the game, it?s frustrating.

Pascal Leclaire
