Cathy Nixon

I think it tests the strength of individuals, ... It's an odd form of playing. I think it stretches people. They see it as being an old-fashioned form of golf that should be scrubbed out and it should all be best ball, but I don't agree. Foursomes golf, I think, gives a nice balance to how the team end of it runs.

Tony Jacklin

We executed well in stretches, but . . . we took a couple possessions off. It was finishing off the execution. Three times we had (Anthony) Morrow open in the corner. They didn't see him. I guess he blended in with the crowd.

Paul Hewitt

In stretches we did some good things. We moved the ball on offense. We did a nice job of attacking their zone. We came down like four times with a two point differential and didn't even get a shot off. That's something you can't do.

Roy Raymond

I haven't seen many guys who have managed to play both tours successfully, so I've decided to play in stretches of months rather than weeks. I'm back here and I'd love to win on home soil.

To claim their goal is not partisan really stretches the imagination.

William Greene

We played great in stretches. But, the whole year's been like that, ups and downs.

Philip Baggaley

Our medical staff has designed stretches for each of the jobs our people do.

David A. Boyer

Great season, bad night. Offensively, we struggled all night (11-of-53 shooting overall). We just weren't making shots from the outside. There were stretches where we just couldn't make a shot and at this point of the tournament you just can't do that.

Bill Strand

It stretches things pretty badly. It's a good murder mystery, though.

Michael Fuller

He's very quick, very elusive. It's very difficult to get a clean shot at him. He definitely stretches defensives and makes them cover their whole field.

Tommy Lewis

When we are on and when we're playing well, everybody feels that confidence. But at times we have had problems staying with it. But we do have stretches when we pay attention to the details and play well and we have that confidence.

Fredrik Modin

I'd say about the mid-point of the third quarter, they got on a run and hit some big shots. There were stretches of that quarter where we didn't guard very well. We've got to make those corrections and get better (defensively).

Vance Downs

Some of the medium bulldozers can't get in and the heavier bulldozers are having trouble. That stretches our equipment even further.

Mike Williamson

I've gone through stretches the past two years where I've missed five or six cuts in a row during the meat of our season. I don't know if it is fatigue or just being lazy. But a couple of bounces here or there and I could have been in the top 20.

Ryan Armour

Thomas Streicher

You can't take stretches of weeks off, especially coming out of the Indy 500, or you lose your momentum. TV promotes a week out. The IRL will be there when its season starts in April and ends at Labor Day.

Mark Shapiro

Football is so different than wrestling. You don't play every play. You're on the sidelines for stretches of time. And when you're in the game, sometimes you're not involved in the tackle at all. I enjoy both sports. But there's no rest when you're out on the wrestling mat.

Mike Blair

It's been the two- or three-minute stretches. They'll run off eight or 10 points in a row and we don't respond. You have to match their level of intensity.

Tim Martin

We wanted a tough game going into playoffs. We wanted our 'A' game going into the playoffs. I felt in stretches we played as well as we did all season.

Marc Jones

You've got five-mile stretches to the freeways in either direction, and the bridge (would rival) the Mackinac (Bridge). C'mon, let's look at what's obviously practical.

It was a good place for getting lost in, a city no one ever knew, a city explored from the neutral heart outward, until after many years, it defined itself into a jumble of clearings separated by stretches of the unknown, through which the narrowest.

V. S. Naipaul

Pilates basically teaches body awareness and good posture. It strengthens and stretches your body.

Chuck Klosterman

It's nice to finally get back on track. The last three games, we've put stretches together where we'll play two or three good quarters. Hopefully, we'll get things rolling in the postseason.

Josh Tarrell

Every life has dark tracts and long stretches of somber tint, and no representation is true to fact which dips its pencil only in light, and flings no shadows on the canvas.

Alexander Maclaren

Defense was why we won this game because we went for long stretches without scoring ourselves.

Jermaine Anderson

We played really, really well in stretches.

Don Maynard

We have stretches in games where we kind of lose our train our thought, we start opening up and making mistakes in different areas. We really got to make sure that we do the right things for 60 minutes. We had that nice little stretch in January when we did that and were successful.

Andrew Brunette

I still see lots of things we can fine-tune. I think we're slowly but surely getting a little bit tighter and executing better. It sounds funny, when you're 11-and-0, but we've played some bad stretches of basketball and still been able to overcome that. Our goal is to eliminate that and become more consistent.

Steve Bergman

The struggle of literature is in fact a struggle to escape from the confines of language; it stretches out from the utmost limits of what can be said; what stirs literature is the call and attraction of what is not in the dictionary.

Italo Calvino

We just have too many stretches where we play bad basketball. We started the game in great shape and then things fell apart. We let them get away from us. Those bad stretches have hurt us all season.

Kurt Melton

Kevin really carried us through stretches of the season when we had people out. He is a team leader. He is a great model on and off the court.

Tom Neises

You go into a season expecting to contend for the Cup every year. We have a lot of positives on our team. We can't have any big letdowns in the season. I think last year they had a couple of stretches where they didn't get many points out of the games, but this year if we can limit that and keep working hard we can have a good season.

Steve Reinprecht

Not to sound too pathetic, but there have been long stretches where I haven't been able to get a job.

David Caruso

We have stretches in every game where we don't score. We have a lack of focus. We make some things difficult that don't need to be. Every day we talk about it. I've been a little lax on them in practice. We need to compete a little more in practice.

Chancellor Steve Ballard

It's not a very clear line drawn in the sand. It goes through valleys and over mountains and across vast stretches of desert. There has been a number of incursions – in both directions, I think it's important to say – across this line.

David Shirk

We were literally side by side for stretches of five to 10 minutes. We were almost touching hulls, it was that close.

Our defensive presence was there ? they had 23 turnovers. Our (turnovers) came in stretches that led to points for them, especially in the first half.

Greg Garrison

For us to show the signs of life and energy and passion and defense, that's what we needed. I think you go through some stretches where the season can beat you down a little bit. I think it's naive to think this conference can't do that to you.

Tommy Amaker

We're not going to tell you when they break out. There is a larger canvas here, and it's longer than a season. It stretches to two and three.

Obviously the movement to save the Everglades runs up against agricultural concerns.

Carl Hiaasen

A governor's school is great, because it really stretches the students to the limit. And when it comes time to compete for spots in higher education, having a governor's school seal on your diploma has real clout.

Sally Murray

When he begins to find his second, alternate and outlet receivers, when he moves out of the pocket and stretches the pocket to hit those guys, that's when he'll start taking defenses apart. There's a total upside to everything he does. He'll demonstrate that this year, especially with the gifts Michael has that are so spectacular.

Bill Walsh

That was one of the bright spots for us. We kept chipping at them. We have to play well for longer stretches. With only one starter returning, we're still trying to get acclimated to varsity play.

David Harvey

I listen constantly to classical music and I find that stretches my imagination. I listen to some contemporary and even cutting-edge things.

Bobby Short

We wanted to develop a plan to make winning a habit instead of accepting losing. In past years we've had some success, but there were stretches where we had a lot of losses and it brought out some negative attitudes.

Penny Dean

I thought the kids played hard and took care of the basketball. We just went through some cold stretches, and we couldn't get enough defensive stops to get the victory.

Dave Lutz

We make sure we get the ball in his hands at the end of games. In the late stretches of a game, he?s almost automatic.

Brian Mcdermott

We played real tough tonight and have over the past few games. It just seems we can't get over that hump. This team is still very capable of doing well in the (Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference) tournament and those who follow us have seen it in stretches. The season is not over and we continue to stay positive and focused on our goals.

Gina Castelli

It's one of those things where you know the team is better than the way we've played. We see it from time to time. Trouble is, our bad stretches last a little longer, which comes from us having a younger team. We haven't been able to figure out how to kick ourselves in the behind and bounce back faster.

Patrick White

It's funny because the team's really gotten better, even lately. Players don't see improvement during stretches like this but coaches do and it's there. Even from just six or seven games ago, we've improved in certain areas.

Kyle Green

We kind of went through that stretch where we lost some leads. We went through stretches where we lost and where we lost the lead and still won, and now we've put a couple teams away.

Kyle Korver

I fell on Kevin's knee and my back hurt pretty bad. The trainer took me over to the side and we did some stretches and I felt good, so kept playing.

Andre Walker

We've always felt Heidi was a real good hitter, and she's definitely a feared hitter in the conference, but it just seemed like she just wasn't able to put it together for long stretches. And this year she's just been in a really good place, I think, both physically and mentally.

Sean Cotter

I think it was just two good teams that both had our stretches. We just had a better stretch.

Brandon Roy

It really stretches the imagination to see what people have come up with.

Paul Myer

There wasn't one particular thing that made us say we needed to have this drill, it's more of a general preparedness thing. We drill annually because a disaster situation stretches our resources and goes beyond our normal scope of day-to-day operations.

Mary Austin

He served very well and made few errors. I was playing against the best player on grass, and I played well in some stretches. He broke my serve once in each set and that was it. I had chances to break right back but I didn't use them.

Philipp Kohlschreiber

New and creative uses for long stretches of land like this and like the Farmington Canal.

Rosa Delauro

Lots of people are moving to this band which stretches from the tip of Cornwall and comes through Belgium, covering a good part of Belgium and France, then going to Germany and then it will go through Austria and Hungary.

Franco Bonacina

We have been inconsistent on offense this year and we were today. I was pleased with our defense. We held a good team to 45 points, but we had bad stretches on offense. It wasn't just the shooting, it was the execution.

Denis Freeman

We had opportunities and we turn the ball over and we're better than that. We worked to not hold the ball for so long because it strengthens the defense. Sometimes in those stretches, we tried to make the home run pass for the easy score but ended up turning it over.

Susan Walvius

It was another tough loss. The effort was great. I appreciate the effort. It's almost like groundhog's day. We play good for stretches of the game. Then we have a few stretches where we struggle and then we fight like crazy at the end to give us a chance to win.

Drew Dipippo

We had some stretches where we just couldn't score. When we have those times, we've got to find a solution for that. We have to find our go-to guy or we've got to make our free throws.

Jeff Elliott

It's certainly a critical juncture in our season because we're in our first four games. We tend to break the season up into four-game stretches, and having gone 0-1 for in the first part of it, to finish up in the last three and do well is important to us.

Lebron James

We had some tough stretches in the middle of our season, but I'm proud of our improvement. We won some exciting games at the end of the regular season to build momentum for the tournament.

Vince Lombardo

We made just enough plays in several key stretches to win the game.

Harry Larrabee

We played well, but we had a couple of stretches where we didn't play well and they went on runs.

Andy Jados

He comes up big. There can go stretches where you don't even hardly know he's there, and then all of a sudden, bam, bam, a couple of goals. He's going to be one heck of a player. He already is one heck of a player.

Dustin Dahlquist

The morale of the team is very good. They know what's ahead of them and they're pretty confident. We've had some tough stretches this season, but the sign of a good team is what you learn from those stretches.

Tom Curle

Among major TV sports, college basketball is unusual. Despite a regular season that stretches over three months and features at least one nationally telecast game almost every single day, a majority of the ad revenue is generated during the short post-season. By contrast, college and pro football, see most of their national TV ad money during the regular season.

Jon Swallen

The bold and innovative design of Reflex stretches the traditional boundaries of a subcompact car. Reflex delivers the fuel economy and flexibility that Americans have come to expect.

Peter Horbury

She is our leader. She is that one captain that is in charge of stretches and gets on to people. The other two captains are not like that. Sam gets on them, and she is vocal. No other player plays harder than she does. She gives everything she has.

Chris Ratcliff

Obviously, we'd like to have more courts on campus. It stretches your mind sometimes to come up with creative ways to keep them all busy during practice. We don't want them to stand around. I want them to have fun, stay active and continue to improve.

Bruce Hunter

After the early disappointment for giving away the late goal, we are now more confident for the next game. We played a very good match for long stretches. But that's past. From now on, it's only Latvia that counts.

Rudi Voeller

The latest forecast models are in fairly solid agreement on the warm forecast. The area in agreement for the warmest potential stretches from the Midwest to the Plains to Calgary.

Matt Rogers

Nobody bought land around RFK. Everybody bought land around [the stadium site] in Southeast. The stadium site in Southeast stretches the development of the city. RFK has been there for 25 or 30 years, and there's no development happening around there. You don't want baseball to happen in an island.

Jeff Neal

We played very well on stretches. We did a good job recognizing mismatches in the post.

Adam Sullivan

It starts tomorrow. We have got to put a whole game together. We have not done that yet. We seem to play well for stretches, but we can't seem to do it for 48 minutes. We have to start with a complete game tomorrow.

Mike James

Knowing the place names for various stretches of the river comes in handy when you're inquiring about local fishing activity.

Clint Land
