That was the difference. We've been coming out tight in the first quarter our last couple of games. We've been having some really good practices so I'm sure we'll turn things around.

Roger Opsommer

We stayed tight with each other, we tried to be confident and positive. We knew that we could come back and win the game.

Camille Little

We found a very tight relationship between CO2 and temperature even before 420,000 years.

Thomas Stocker

The path of Rita really spared most of the damage to refineries that was the concern. There's still a lot of pressure on the market, particularly due to tight capacity.

Gerard Burg

It was a tight game like I expected. Stowe came out hard and I think we match up pretty evenly in terms of ability. We were just fortunate to dodge a few bullets there.

Luke Cioffi

We want eight wins to get into the state tournament and then we'll take it from there. We also want to be competitive in games and win the tight games. We had some good teams on the ropes last year, but we couldn't put them away.

James Apicelli

Going into your first year, I think to have that stability at home is quite a factor. She's got an awfully close, tight-knit family. They support one another in whatever they do, and I think that's helped Kelly as a player.

Steve Swanson

Security is extremely tight. From the governor's office, we're concerned for his safety and keeping him in our prayers.

Alice Stewart

When we do these cat clinics, we have cats everywhere. We have a very efficient operation, but it's very tight quarters.

Mimi Beadles

Oil companies are exploiting a tight supply-demand situation. They are piling on, making a bad situation worse.

Tyson Slocum

James and the Jackson family kept everything real close, real tight. No one really knew how it was working out until things kind of surfaced.

Young Debarge

Based on the tight points, Maria could have stolen the first set should she had a better control on the shuttlecocks.

Lius Pongoh

I was able to beat my man. But they left the floor spread out. Everybody was playing their man so tight that I was quick enough to get around my man and get into the middle and either make a good pass or a good shoot. That was really our whole offense.

Bruce Durham

He has a good knack at scoring in tight. Michael has tremendous quickness and is a tough rider.

John Haus

She should keep a tight book on everything she spends to get a real good fix on where her money is going.

Bill Lane

Those guys are right up his alley. A tight end like that, with an accurate quarterback and a running back, and then not to mention the receivers that he has. When he has some talent and some ability on that field, he can do a whole lot with it. He has a way of putting you where you need to be.

Antwaan Randle El

We were a little tight early. The 10-day layoff that we had took its toll early. We were prepared, so we had to come out and execute.

Donnie Madzia

She has a very traditional game. She's really coming on fast. Her biggest asset is she's very calm. She never gets overly emotional. That really comes up big in tight matches.

Bruce Beltz

With the combination of a growing economy, tight capacity and reduction of competitors, the supply-and-demand environment is such that you can pass on these extravagant fuel increases.

Bill Long

We run a tight establishment. We're high on safety and we did what we had to do.

Justin Foster

I tend to think of it as a macro-economic factor. The economy is growing well, there is really no inflation and the labor market has been tight everywhere, so you start to see some things show up, like the GM labor dispute. Unions get more aggressive.

Tony Ferrugia

I think in the second there everybody was tight on there sticks. Once we start hesitating that makes it even more obvious that things are not going to go our way.

Marc Chouinard

IT is extremely tight. One of 12 positions are open and new IT positions are constantly opening up.

Jim Treacy

No doubt the Australian public is talking about the tight Ashes battle that we're currently in, and hopefully, that can whet people's appetites for even more great cricket in October.

James Sutherland

The administration is walking a very tight rope here, ... because they want to support Libby, but they don't want to be seen as strong-arming Republican supporters for money.

Larry Noble

We were ready, but I think we just came out tight, nervous, ... Once they got they got their first goal, they started to relax and we started to tense up. Everything just snowballed from there. You get down to a good team like that, it's hard to come back.

Brendan Murphy

The race is too tight to pick a winner.

Paul Adams

Supply remains tight; buyers may have been unable to find the homes they want where they want them. Housing will not fold.

Ian Shepherdson

The men's field is so tight. Everybody is just one jump, or one counter or one rocker from being in my position.

Matt Savoie

(The Federal Emergency Management Agency) has some pretty tight criteria to get any disaster relief. People need to take some initiative on their own.

Tom Kelley

What that tells me is there are some folks out there who are interested in politics, probably politically savvy and connected, who are thinking this is going to be a tight race.

Donald Norris

We've played in a lot of (tight) games like this, and I think that's been huge for us. We've come out on the positive end more than the negative, which gives our kids confidence in those situations.

Jon Nelson

Why have ESPN in Brazil chosen to show the mighty San Marino take on Spain? ... Do they think it will be a tight game? At least it means I can hide in here away from my mother-in-law.

Stephen Greene

There is still a big backlog to be made up before it feels like a tight job market. Clearly it's a tighter job market than it was a year ago, and if we continue to add a million jobs a quarter, we'll move in that direction. But I think it will take a little bit of time.

Bill Cheney

It is our hope that these funds will add that extra incentive, especially at a time when budgets are tight.

Phil Haseltine

First the cash market went up, reflecting the reality of a very tight supply-demand situation. Then the futures went up, making the case this was an enduring change in energy prices.

Robert Barbera

It was a little tight for our 6-foot engineer, who was sitting in the passenger seat during the driving. And you should know that the rear seats don't fold down because that is where the high-voltage batteries are placed.

Stacy Genovese

They're a good team. They're complete. They're like us. They don't have a lot of flaws, and neither do we. So it's going to be a tight game. They're No. 3 in the nation, and we need to prepare ourselves and be ready for them. I know that they're going to be ready for us.

Jessica Moreau

They run to the ball really well, but that also allows the tight end to sit behind a little bit in play action.

David Thomas

The first few minutes of the game, we played tight. In the second half, we collected ourselves, and played well.

Jay Tunnell

It was a tight budget year, but the administration's support for Guam is evidenced in the renegotiated Compacts of Free Association, which made the Compact mandatory rather than subject to the uncertainty of annual appropriations. The revised Compacts also increased Guam's impact aid from US$5 million annually to US$14 million annually.

Alex Conant

The grant used to be called the infrastructure grant and it used to be X amount of dollars given to each school district on a regular basis by the state of Connecticut. Two years ago they did away with the grant. The states are just as tight on money as anybody else.

Mark Denicholas

This points out that the labor market remains as tight as ever.

Douglas Porter

I have seen tight defenses all year. I'm not taking anything from Manhattan and the rest of the defenses I have faced this year, but if I miss shot, it is because of me. It's my role and I have to handle it better.

Andre Collins

It was a tight game. We've had three games with (Mount Baker) and they've all gone the same way.

Tom Harmon

(Prices) are going to be volatile and they're going to be driven by the weather. It's a very tight market right now.

Larry Graham

I think the bond market is stuck in a reasonable tight range based on a long bond of 5.5 percent, and I think the Fed is going to do nothing.

Alan Levenson

It's the Marine high and tight.

Sue Greene

Michelle's strengths as a player are her accuracy and precision. She has an all court game, plays the ball very tight and can hit winners on open balls. Her excellent footwork and balance allow her to cover the court extremely well, and mentally she is very tough.

Dave Talbott

For me it was a great race, ... The first few laps were pretty tight. I had my areas where I was quick and David [Finch] had his. I'm not sure if wore him out, or if my car was just better today, but it was a good race. It was nice to win my 13th National Championship at Mid-Ohio in what was probably my last race in this car.

Duane Davis

They just seemed a little tight. They've made a lot of better plays than that in practice.

Sgt. Steve Maynard

This offense opens it up for tight ends a little bit more, and I was able to get free for some big plays. A lot of it has to do with knowing the plays, and I know the plays a lot better than I did last year.

Dustin Keller

I knew from last year that the rims are so tight, the only way you can make a shot is if it goes right in. I just tried to aim for the middle of the rim.

Antoine Agudio

We stayed poised in some tight situations. We swarmed to the football and we did a good job of containing and tackling.

Jason Hunter

He's the main target for Vince, so he's obviously got some spunk to him. We've played some other teams that try to get their tight end the ball a lot, but not like Texas. They fed him the ball all day and he'd turn it up.

Justin Wyatt

It was a well played game. The game could have gone either way, it was a tight exciting game down to the finish.

Roberto Abele

Romania has a distinctive smell on its own, ... Driving to set stunk and then getting to set stunk even worse. You're in confined places with guys. And Europeans are not noted for their hygiene. I don't think there's too much body deodorant in Romania. It was definitely an experience as far as being in tight quarters with a lot of people, grown men.

Cole Hauser

There are people in Washington who become a kind of tight political circle, in the sense of almost the secret handshake.

Douglas W. Kmiec

It's so close, ... That's a pretty tight race between Marshall and Rico.

George Small

The stock has become less volatile in the past two years and appears to be leaving behind a quite tight period of consolidation between 240p and 295p.

Richard Lake

For the second meet in a row, we did a great job of running aggressively as a pack and keeping it tight. We seem to be getting stronger every meet.

Bob Bonk

We're very happy with our offensive line, ... It's very big. Even with the two tight ends in, we're close to 250 pounds per man and they come off the ball well.

Jim Hoover

Cheney has had a tight, effective team, and they have been an incredible support system for the presidency. To the degree that support system is weakened, it's a bad day at the office. But no person is indispensable.

Rich Bond

They seemed to protect their house ? in front of the net, the slot area ? and they blocked a lot of shots. Take it with a grain of salt. We know we have to come back to work on Sunday and look forward because we're falling in deeper and deeper right now. We're squeezing the sticks a little too tight.

Matt Hendricks

When you're in this tight a budget, it becomes very difficult as a family, ... Finances are one of the major disagreements among couples, and especially young couples, today.

Robert Tull

I know they need a tight end or whatnot, and I wouldn't mind being in the Windy City.

Leonard Pope

We were just as strong today as we were yesterday; we didn't come out flat. Not getting the doubles point hurt us, but the singles matches were very tight.

Tracy Honko

We're in a tight race right now and points are huge. We're in a battle to get in the playoffs and we've got 14 games left. We need to get some points. You can't get in playing like this. We're not winning.

Jamie Langenbrunner

At halftime, we talked about settling down, and running some of our stuff. We were so tight. But we came out and scored on quite a few possessions in a row. That gave us momentum. It was nice to see the girls execute better in the third quarter.

Penny Geinger

It's mountainous land, and so that requires that you do very tight villages. You know, there's a lot of pluses to that. First of all people get to know one another. It's a real community.

Mike Brandt

It was really tight. There was great competition and people really wanted it.

Karen Chandler

They played very tight defensively and unfortunately we couldn't break them.

Slava Kozlov

I can't tell you how many times you sit in a draft room and people say 'what kind of tight end is he?' because there are very few guys that can block and catch. You can count them on one hand.

Charlie Weis

Our defense played really tight, and they had a really tough time finding the bucket.

Tad Jacobson

With Circuit City's E-superstore, customers will find convenient and money-saving options not available from Web-only retailers, ... We believe the tight integration of the Circuit City Web site and our superstores gives the customer the best of both worlds.

Alan Mccollough

We came out tight. We just needed to loosen up and play our type of basketball. We finally loosened up in the second half, but it was maybe a little too late.

Gabriel Luna

In the past, we're a team that as we go, we've been in situations where we've played big but we've also been in situations where when it's tight, we kinda fold. But tonight we held it together and that led us into the last inning where we were able to hold them.

Jeremiah Denniston

Romania has a distinctive smell on its own, ... You're in confined places with guys. ... I don't think there's too much body deodorant in Romania. It was definitely an experience as far as being in tight quarters with a lot of people, grown men.

Cole Hauser

I felt like we played tight all night and we didn't knock down our free throws when we needed to.

Jim Thyfault

In this profound silence of the room I hear Nature breathing; I feel the stars slipping though the dark, very tight, bounded masses of matter. The Universe is beating its life through my heart.

Mariana Fulger

We knew revenge would be on the mind of ADM. The girls were emotionally and physically ready for the challenge and it was a tight game all the way through, (but) we have to tighten up our defense. We got caught out of position and slapped at the ball as it was going by us too often.

Cary Thompson

On the face of it, we are both capable of playing open, entertaining rugby to a high standard, but it may be that the team who adapts to something different, maybe some tight forward play, is the one who succeeds.

Rep. Rob Andrews

All the races I'm involved in are tight races. This state, very frequently, doesn't treat Republicans particularly well.

Slade Gorton

A lot of dock facilities that boats would leave from are gone. Hangars are messed up. Helicopter availability is tight.

Tony Lentini

I drove nicely, but just couldn't hit the irons close enough. I wasn't really on either. Struggled but kept it fairly tight.

Henrik Stenson

Basically, the keyword in fishing is tight line.

Antonio Jeremiah

A tight game. We played very disciplined.

Bryan Murray

Everybody we have played has run a five-man front on us because we use two tight ends and like to run the ball. That enables the defense to balance up better with our offense. Occasionally, we will try to go with an unbalanced line to offset that.

Marty Jaggers

Beverly played like they had nothing to lose and we played tight and nervous. It was flat-out nerves and rust. We weren't playing the way we were capable of playing.

Mario Trutanic

Mom and them came up, and we just bunked tight up here.

Jack Carey

Jerry like to run a tight ship as far as discipline is concerned, but I know him to be understanding and fair when it come to correcting their behavior.

Grant Kukuk

It's a long process. Nothing happens overnight. They're very tight lipped. We don't even know much about the premise of the show we are up for.

Matt Toka

You're going to see more of that. He wants to play tight end, and we've got to take advantage of that, because he's a great athlete.

Chris Chambers

They played their butts off today. Nobody expected us to play this team that tight. I couldn't be more proud.

Heather Stewart

Really, (the huddle) doesn't change. Not with us. Guys know we can get the job done. We don't ever get tight in there. That's probably because of the personalities in there. Regardless of what's going on, we have the confidence that we can get it done no matter what the circumstances.

Albert Young

Ethanol is in very high demand across the country. When demand is high, supplies run tight and prices generally rise and currently E85 in most areas is priced above where we would like to see it especially in time of adoption.

Tom Slunecka

It feels very tight. The last four days it's been getting real tight on me. Massage should take care of it.

Bartolo Colon

I'm happy with the point, but you'd still like to get two whenever you can. We had some chances late in the third period and again in the overtime. It was a tight-checking game with a playoff atmosphere. A game like this is good for us to get ready for the playoffs.

Jason Williams

Practices are going well - they are working hard. We have got in some good workouts and made some gains but we are also getting a little beat up with the shin splints because of the hard surface and tight corners.

Aaron Nida

They were very tight. But being tight shows you care. We just had to relax.

Dave Allison

Some parts of the country are experiencing tight supplies because of unusually heavy refinery maintenance schedules. Until crude oil prices drop substantially, Americans won't see a big decline at the pump.

Rob Schlichting

Funds with a short-term strategy are moving around. But the lack of visibility in the outlook for Japan's structural reforms and uncertainty over the U.S. economy, U.S. stocks and the attitude of investors there mean longer-term funds sit tight.

Nobuaki Kurisu

The tight ends are gone. You can't create one.

Greg Gabriel

They're the team everybody points to in this league because of their three consecutive championships. They do things the right way. They win as a team. They know how to execute. They know how to win tight games.

Brent Guy

It's gotten pretty tight over the last week, especially in Southern California. There's been a huge volume of cargo coming in.

John Bromley

Not that it?s an excuse but our inexperience shines through in tight games. We have only three returning with varsity experience from last year. We have to have more efficient possessions and get good shots.

Dave Bosso

The schedule of this tournament is not so tight, so I must continue to practice and keep my concentration very well to be ready for my next match.

Xie Xingfang

The Fed sees the possibility of labor markets becoming tight, which could push up costs at some point. At this point we haven't seen wage pressures but it's something the Fed is watching.

Glenn Haberbush

It's a hard trade-off. You can do without this incredibly powerful technology that makes your system so much more automatic, or you can shut off that automatic capability and not have that tight integration, but have protection against viruses.

Anne Thomas

The course was changing throughout the day. It was warm in the morning and the course was soft, but as the second race approached, the cold front came in and the course began to ice up. There were lots of spills in the course of the second run, but they held tight and finished nicely.

Chris Smylie

There is now more of a balanced choice available between the management teams. But I still see shareholders sitting tight for the moment to watch how the battle plays out.

Guy Hutchings

He's got soft hands. He'll be a good first-down tight end.

Al Fracassa

I was surprised with how the referees called it, considering it was an all-star game. They called it pretty tight.

Jonathan Leopaul

It's going to be kind of tight. I scouted (Madison), and they're still athletic like they normally are. But they don't have a strong inside game, and that could be a plus for us. Hopefully we're going to rely on that and hopefully some good defense.

Lisa Abron

We couldn't stop him down low. We did a horrible job. He's like a tight end.

Lou Biester

It feels good and is kind of a monkey off of our back. We've been fighting hard and playing well, but we couldn't seem to get that first win. They were a little tight pushing a little too hard and it cost us some goals, but they fought back. Once we got behind, we tended to go into a bit of a shell, so hopefully this will be a learning experience and not back off when we get down.

Jim Jackson

The two feet where the ropes catch, you hope it's tight.

Shane Stork

If an opening opened up, he would go through it. It might be kind of tight, but he'd go through it. That takes a lot of guts. That isn't like riding in a Cadillac.

Norm Krueger

The (final) score doesn't indicate how much mat wrestling took place tonight. St. Joe's kept everything close. There were some really tight matches.

Keith Hoover

I think our league has always been tight. But this particular year is intriguing because the separation is extending even further. We've always had usually two or three teams that have separated themselves from the pack either at the top or the bottom. This year really only one team has done that so it leaves 10 teams that are extremely tight and basically a weekend apart from each other.

Scott Paluch

A tight end, as well as our split end, both lined up on the same side of the ball. We didn't have the tackle on the opposite end of the line scrimmage covered. It was a significant play.

Mike Clemons

Our opponents will be well aware of him. In tight games, he is capable of breaking the deadlock. He is certainly an additional weapon.

Florent Malouda

When money's tight and hard to get - and your horse is also ran, When all you have is a heap of debt a pint of plain is your only man.

Old Irish Toast

People were worried post-Katrina as we have real tight product supply.

Jamal Qureshi

I'm of the opinion that it's Lucent and Cisco against everyone else. Just sit tight -- you're going to see a lot more of these mergers in the next three to four months. There are about seven or eight companies that have the opportunity to be major players.

Gregory Geiling

You know, one or two snaps at tight end wouldn't be bad, ... but I'm not pushing that.

Robert Gallery

We seem to find ways to win these tight games. We needed it for conference standings and regional ranking.

Nikki Fennern

We needed to get back in the win column. The first half we were a little tight. We had a couple of chances where we didn't score and getting that touchdown at the end of the first half was big.

Pat O'brien

Time is tight in a two- to three-year span, not a two- to three-month span.

David Morehouse

A lot of things run through your head when you're going in to relieve in a tight spot. One of them was, "Should I spike myself?"

Lefty Gomez

They're very tight. They're excited to play together. It's like a little family we have here.

Al Lewis

They had new coaches and a new offense and they weren't looking for a tight end with my type of skills.

Doug Jolley

It was a tight life. We didn't have any place to stay, so the trailer was better than nothing.

Jeff Zimmerman

Today Katie went out there and didn't have her best stuff but was still able to get the job done, our defense stepped it up for the second straight game and Katie got out of tight situations.

Katie Daley

We got a little tight in the second quarter. But we came out in the second half and pulled out the win.

Christina Solverson

I think the girls now know, even if we get a little bit behind, that we can come back and stretch the lead again. The thing they did a good job of was playing defense. We stopped their fast break a little bit. They know when it gets tight like that, it's just as much our opportunity as it is (for the other team).

Gerry Foos

I think everybody was nervous by mid-second. Everyone was tight on their sticks.

Marc Chouinard

The whole golf course is tough, tight, with a lot of wind and water. If you don't know where the ball is going, you can make a big number on any hole.

Kevin Na

Beth threw a controlled game today, which allowed for those 10 strikeouts. She found the corner and stuck with it and kept those batters off balance. She walked just two, which was real key in a tight game like that.

Tina Deese

Our defense is a huge advantage for us, and it will be especially in the postseason, too, ... Tight games, great teams. Defense matters, especially in the postseason.

Cesar Izturis

We definitely controlled possession of the game. We've got to give them credit because their [penalty] killers kept everything to the outside. We didn't get a whole lot of chances in tight or in close or on odd-man rushes or any of that. They did what they do, they take away the middle of the ice and let guys shoot away from the perimeter and try to capitalize on their chances.

Andrew Raycroft

There are always runs and spurts, and once we got it going we got a lot of confidence. I like it when a team plays tight because it gives me an opportunity to get by quicker. You have to take advantage of a team that climbs all over you.

Candice Wiggins

We talked to the kids about those three losses and what you can learn from them as far as character and hanging in there is concerned. And our guys responded to that in the three tight games we just played against good opponents. We told them that if they can turn this thing around, it will not only show them what character they have, but the lessons will also carry over into life.

Al Wolski

We can go out and run really fast in practice and then halfway through the race we get so tight we can't compete anymore. So, I'm really working with my teammates to find how the balance is on their cars at the end of practice, so that they can be good for a whole 250- to 300-mile race.

Todd Kluever

Product usually becomes tight when they go from one product to another. But it's not a big deal. We go through this twice a year.

Tex Pitfield

Budgets are tight and people would rather see the money go to textbooks and football fields.

Gina Deangelo

Denny's point is that as a tight ends coach, you've been involved in the passing and the blocking.

Keith Rowen

For the first time, I hear more and more Chinese say in open forums that they understand China will [become] more open, ... They recognize that eventually tight control will no longer be viable, but they want an orderly process.

Avery Goldstein

As brothers, you have your fights, you pick on each other. This (2006) group is more like brother-sister - real tight, but not over the edge. We were over the edge in '90. We got in a lot of fights - in the locker room between periods, at practice. But there was never any doubt how much we cared about each other.

Mark Osiecki

It's a great honour. He was a tight forward, so it's amazing that he had such longevity in his career. But it's more about the team and making sure I do my job on the day.

George Gregan

Our kids have to be around staff pretty much 24/7. We have very, very tight supervision.

Paul Tesi

We're working under a tight budget this year, very tight.

Susan Wood

Conference-wise, we should be right back up there as one of the top two in the conference. Even after the success in the tournament, I think our pitchers still have to prove themselves against tough competition in tight games. But I think the kids expect to win and have a lot of confidence right now.

Vance Arnold

I kind of had a one-on-one on the other side. He just rolled through, I had him tight and stuck it with a half Nelson and a one-on-one.

Cole Baublitz

The fact that we got 70 shots is amazing. That's being a little bit tight. That's what happens when you play a great team. Connecticut weathered the storm. They're a great team.

Agnus Berenato

I think these teams are better and while it makes it tougher for us it improves the conference. It gives the conference the power ratings it needs and will help us get four teams into the playoffs. There's going to a lot of tough, tight games.

Mike Sewak

This raw clip of Palmetto Pointe will give anyone goose bumps, because it has a dynamite cast and tight line of talent from other hit shows.

John Cleveland

We still are not getting Darius the touches he needs. He is good anywhere we put him. It's easy to get him the ball when he's in the backfield, but when he's at tight end or flanker we have to be able to throw the ball to him.

Sam Harp

It is a good feeling to have that many guys up there. It is a good conference and the competition is really outstanding. The whole league is tight. I am impressed with the runners, they did a good job.

Cecil Burch

It shows you what a tight-knit community you have when something like this happens. It was amazing, the feeling you got [at the funeral], with people coming up and hugging each other.

Leah Skidmore

(We're) in such a tight budget - like we have had every year, ... (If) you can increase reserves at all, it's a feather in your cap.

Alan Thompson

Women tend to wear clothes that are too tight, and men tend to wear clothes that are too loose.

Mark Anthony

I'm optimistic we are making the sort of progress that we need to meet our tight deadlines, ... We have come closer together.

Rob Portman

Film-makers keep the narrative screws fastened tight, which gives The Goblet of Fire an intensity that rarely flags.

Todd Mccarthy

I think the number one factor impacting these programs is the tight labor market, which is making it really hard for employers to let their workers go for eight to 12 weeks at time.

Kristin Accipiter

We were a tight unit and didn't concede many goals. But I think we were realistic that we were never going to be in the top four for the rest of the season.

Andy Booth

Since I'm covering the tight end a lot, I wanted to talk to him about what tight ends are thinking.

Boss Bailey

We're battling now. Before we were getting a little nervous as the game went on when it was tight. Now we're playing with a lot more poise with the puck. It's a sign our confidence is getting better.

Joe Nieuwendyk

We haven't had a game this tight all year. I feel very fortunate that we won this game but at the same time I also think we earned it because we hit a lot of balls at them hard.

Todd Pridy

With a tight job market, you would expect to see wages rise, but they are lagging.

Hart Hodges

At times, I suddenly felt a bit tight.

Paradorn Srichaphan

This is the best defense they've had since I've been the coach here. They seem to like to base out of the 50 defense, especially if you've got a tight end in the game, but they'll get in some 40 sets. Their defense isn't very big, but they're lightning quick. Any defense that holds Lowndes to 100 yards rushing is impressive.

Rick Darlington

We're playing well and we're finding ways to win tight games.

Claude Julien

I don't think they came out not ready. I think they respected Washburn but I thought we played kind of tight.

Steve Tappmeyer

I?m hoping it was just a scare. But we are not the type of team we were last year in that we are not going to go on these big runs. We are going to be in tight games that are going to be battles.

Sean Harvey

You can sense the energy. You can tell whether something drops or whether the dance is tight or how the team vibe is going.

Hannah Greenstreet

We're playing tight right now. When any subs come in, we're meshing together and we're finding ways (to make the plays) and finish it off.

Breezy Guymon

I think they just about have the building water-tight. I think they'll have it water-tight by the end of the day. I think that we'll probably be alright as long as we don't get hit, you know, with a similar situation.

Roger Mears

There is a tremendous price premium attached to buying these devices at a time when money is tight.

Leslie Fiering

His shoulder is perfect. The muscles are very tight. That's why he's taking Jacuzzi the whole afternoon, a lot of stretching, relaxing, massage. He's going to be 100 percent (today), maybe 110 percent.

Hans Gildemeister

Green was shooting 3s left and right. Coach told me to guard him real tight. It was all desire and toughness. Our team has no superstars, but we have heart.

Richard Mitchell

Especially in this tight labor market.

Lynn Franco

Life is either always a tight-rope or a featherbed. Give me a tight-rope.

Edith Wharton

They said you were soft, you won't block. Say you drop balls, and he took offense to that. I was glad to see that. The year before I had some of the same questions for another tight end, and his reactions were not pleasing. He just kind of took it and went on. . . . I knew then that I had doubts about that kid.

Ron Middleton

It was no big deal, just another point. But it was cool scoring that many points and much more fun than a tight game. Our power play is really moving the puck well, and there's no selfishness.

Torrie Wheat

Certainly when you look at where we are, and when you look at where we were a year ago, you see how tight the labor market is.

Rusty Skinner

It speaks volumes as to the guy he is in terms of persevering. Coming (into the NFL) as a nice-looking, graceful tight end, and then being shifted to offensive guard -- and even tackle -- that speaks to his character and dedication.

Stump Mitchell

We hit the mid-line a lot with Jared Kimmel up the middle and then we started hitting the rocket on the outside. We took advantage; the defensive ends were playing a little tight. We tried to get outside on them. We ran our rocket play - our quick sweep - and that really got us back into the game.

Mike Curtis

I was surprised, ... I didn't expect the tight end to be able sneak through and cut my legs up, but he did.

Victor Hobson

This is going to be a demanding effort to build an exceptional facility within a very tight schedule.

Allen Lew

You usually get a good receiving tight end who can't block much or a good blocker who isn't much of a receiver. You don't get both. And he's both.

Art Kehoe

You get lots of animals confined in a pretty tight area, so there are concerns about disease transmission.

Paul Johansen

I was excited with our win over Illinois tonight. This is the first time we have beat a team ahead of us in the rankings. The scores tonight were tight and I think we performed better than last week even if the scores were lower. I am happy with the win.

Carey Fagan

I think some of the difficulties are in the tight tolerances that we are talking about.

Nancy Currie

It was tight all the way. The difference in the game was that we were able to close out on their shooters. We knew they like to play up-tempo and shoot a lot from the outside. But we did a great job of guarding them on the perimeter.

Matt Berger

Back end capacity is relatively tight, mainly due to raw material issues and the pending Restriction of Hazardous Substances and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment environmental regulations.

Klaus Rinnen

When you have orders that go down the rung, people interpret them by putting a very tight box around them.

Bob Freitag

All the windows were blacked out from heavy smoke conditions. There was dark smoke. The house was essentially buttoned up tight.

Jim Flaherty

The underlying fundamentals are so tight that we always have to be concerned about the worst-case scenario. Last year, Ivan cut production by 1 million barrels a day and although that's not likely, it has to be taken into account.

Rick Mueller

It would have been a lot nicer if it was prettier. We haven't closed a game until now. This was a tight game and we closed it.
