We needed to come out stronger. When you're down that far, it's tough to come back and hold it. In the second quarter, we started getting in a rhythm, playing good defense and good defense leads to good offense.

Kevin Kleppe

Donald is a tough guy mentally and he's going to get through this because of the type person he is. Whenever he comes back, he's going to be a force.

Josh Williams

It certainly was tough playing two games in one day because it's not something you can prepare for. It was nice to see the girls respond like they did. When we lost Marianne there were some tears, but then there was a sense that we would toughen up. That's exactly what they did.

John Triplett

Devon was tough to match up against inside. We struggled to finish for a while. Corey was the one who could finish by getting to the basket. He exploded to the hoop. It it tough to match up with a kid who has that strength.

Corey Gadson

It was tough. I'm just thankful we won and I've got another chance to play (today). I was biting my nails there thinking that my last game would end that way.

Ryan Macmurchy

He's a very tough worker. Mentally, he's tough, despite what he might tell you. He's got a good feel for the water.

Russ Yarworth

D.C. is a deep team and its going to be tough to work my way in, but I will give it my best shot.

Domenic Mediate

But we tried our best. We had a very difficult competition, five very tough games in 10-12 days.

Carlos Tevez

It's tough to let a game get away like this. You can't have four errors. Errors always come back to get you.

Craig Faulkner

He's tough. I just have to bring my A game (Saturday).

Jake Bucha

Losing players like Bolts, who was one-of-a-kind, and Fig, who was a two-time all-league player and every bit the bull that Jeff was, is tough. But we've got some guys who can play.

Jason Mcendoo

I went out and told the girls (in Game 3) that, 'nobody in this district is going to give you a game. It's going to be tough and you have to go out and fight for it.' After that they went out and fought a little harder. For that girl (Jones) to be such a big hitter, it was a positive that our defense was able to get down and dig some of the balls that she was hitting.

Melissa Hardy

The winter is a very tough and grueling time of the year. It's cold, rainy, and down right miserable a lot of the mornings out on the water. The team has showed a lot of character in the past month by working hard and staying disciplined in the tough conditions.

Carlo Facchino

No matter what condition you're in, that hill will kick you in the butt. For everyone, it's tough. But for me, it was really tough. If you don't make it, you can't be a Warrior. It's a great test.

Mauli'a Labarre

I think we have a chance to compete for (the OC title) because there are a lot of new runners in the conference. (Defending champion) Chilton is going to be tough again. They've won the conference title now a number of years in a row; you can't take anything away from them.

Dave Ring

The United Nations would like to invite the government to take very tough measures against those governors, or those officials, whether civilians, military police, who are involved in cultivation or refining or trafficking. We wish the government persevered in making its own legal instruments available to the international community, so that traffickers can be extradited.

Antonio Maria Costa

I'm really happy to win my first WTA title, ... It was a tough week ? of five matches here I've won three in three sets.

Richard Krajicek

Juries like celebrities and give them the benefit of the doubt. He'll turn on the charm offensive and I think he'll be tough to beat.

Paul Callan

We played pretty well against them, but we didn't have any answers for (MWC player of the year) Brandon Heath. They're an unbelievably talented team, a team playing with a lot of confidence. We'll start with Michael Harrison on Heath, and hopefully we can make him take tough shots.

Dale Layer

His points didn't come as easy as you might think. They were physical with him and he had to finish some tough shots. He did a good job in getting us off to a good start.

Quincy Lewis

The Pakistan Muslim League and our allies have won the local bodies elections after a tough competition.

Sheikh Rashid

That's what he can do when he wants to. When he plays like he did tonight, we're tough.

Kip Rhoten

Champ Car is very tough, and the only thing that matters is winning. It's very easy to let the hype get ahead of the fact, and I don't want her career to blow up.

Kevin Kalkhoven

I knew it would be a tough game, but I thought we would win. The loss kinda rained on the parade.

Jason Hoseney

It can be really tough sometimes. It's more than just handing out Band-Aids.

Kathleen Glynn

We had a great road trip last time. It's going to be a lot tougher this time. They're going to be ready for us. They're going into the playoff run, the stretch run, so they're going to come hard and it's going to be tough on us.

Dennis Wideman

Winning needs to be a habit. We're tired of just competing. We're tired of just making it to tough games, we want to win the tough games.

Shane Jones

Your next delivery is going to cost $10,000 more, and then what happens if the price goes down? You can't stay 30 or 40 cents ahead of the competition. It's a tough game right now.

Paul O'connell

Mitchell said. ''He's still ticking pretty good. No question the system you run in is very important. How do you get your yards? Ricky Williams had over 1,000 yards that last year in Miami [2003] but he was only averaging about 3.5 yards a carry. That's tough, tough yardage. Your body will only take but so much of that. Corey can get those yards, but he gets them outside, too.

Corey Dillon

We've barely had enough to go five-on-five, but we're ready to be aggressive and do whatever it takes to win. We've beaten tough teams this season. We know how to double-team and help each other out. We just have to be focused and work hard.

Katie Montgomery

That second title means a lot. The kids have worked hard to get the program to succeed. Now we've got some great youth programs coming up. We knew Greenwood was very good. Their guards are tough and they shoot the ball well. We had to match their intensity.

Dave Macarthur

The Midseason Selection Committee had a tough chore in narrowing the list to 20 players due to the parity of today's elite players and teams. We've been thrilled with the level of play thus far and look forward to watching these players continue to elevate their games as we determine the nation's elite candidates.

Mike Solum

This was a tough loss for us. We were off a step on our man-to-man defense and because of it we sent them to the line and they capitalized on it.

Rob Maxwell

We want to attract industry and businesses, but to attract them you have to have amenities in town, so they (the businesses) are going to want to relocate here. But to add these amenities in town you've got to have that industry to support it ... It makes it really tough ... We are all keeping our fingers crossed.

Joni Pugh

Prices continue to climb even though construction is under way. That means what may conceivably happen as we go along, because we're locked into a number, is we may have to make cuts. If we start bumping up against the educational specifications, that's going to be tough.

Irene Allan

He's a tough kid. I will have to go out and wrestle like I always have and see what happens.

Russell Weakley

I knew Aaron was going to be tough. He's the best out here, the best I've seen. My horse is bigger and not nearly as fast. It's like driving a semi on a race track.

Kyle Dewar

It was tough getting used to, but communication is so much more vital playing at the collegiate level. In that nature, I'm more of a quiet person so the biggest adjustment was being vocal; and keeping everyone intact and going to the right spots and keeping them involved, focused, and ready to play is the point guard's job.

David Dreas

To win was a massive achievement. We had to dig in. We knew it would be tough, even with 11 men, but we pulled through.

Harry Kewell

That's a tough lineup. For me to be successful today, I was able to pitch inside of that left-handed lineup. Being able to use my split- finger helped. ... To come away with two wins was good against these guys.

Jon Papelbon

It's tough to stand up to big business. The commission really responded to the concerns of the residents.

Robert Russell

I'm really happy with the way we're playing. We're playing well as a team on offense, and teams are having a tough time scoring against us.

Paul Wiedeman

They put the ball in play against us. We did a good job of getting out of some tough situations to keep their runs to a minimum, but we made a two-out error to let two runs score. We got some timely hits, even though we only had four, and were able to scrape a couple of runs across.

Craig Jones

It was so tough because it all seemed to be happening in slow motion. Our girls were so focused on just getting the ball out of our defensive zone that a few of our passes were just inches off.

Jen Mcdavitt

It always nice to get a win and the competition here was as tough as some of the others too. It's definitely a step in the right direction and it was a lot better than last time out (Webster City Invite); we just need to stay healthy.

Mike Szalat

Our goal coming into this week was to win a game up here (in Cowlitz County). It is tough to travel up here. It is tough to play up here.

Scott Preuninger

Canby is going to be tough. They're tougher than Newberg but not quite as tough as Tualatin.

Amy Wroblewski

It was tough at times, but when the final product is a representation of our planning, design and hard work, it's well worth it.

Michael Kessler

Everybody on that team played well today. When you shoot 55 percent from the field, like they did, it's going to be tough.

Turner Trofholz

We wrestled really tough. We just gave up some late pins. We fought hard and wrestled well. We made some mistakes and they capitalized on it. I'm happy with the effort but not with the outcome.

Dennie Mcdaniel

The only thing I can come up with is, we just didn't do it. We've been playing teams tough, but the Big East schedule doesn't let up.

Melvin Buckley

If this will put a smile for a minute that will be good. That's tough work they're doing, long days. So we owe them a lot of thanks for the work that they do.

Scott Niedermayer

It was just as tough as last year. We just did a better job of limiting our mental errors. We had a couple late in the game last year, and all week we made a conscious effort to follow the game plan.

Steve Leven

The hardest part is just not being out there. Missing those three games was tough, especially Toledo. That's one game I had marked on my calendar.

Phil Horvath

It's tough for the local banks to lend for longer than five years.

Richard Lark

I knew going into the game that Kevin was a pretty good player. I had to play mentally and physically tough.

Brent Barz

That team played us as tough as anyone has in a long time, and it's like a playoff atmosphere in that arena. It's just amazing, but we were able to get out of here with the wins.

Gerry Fleming

It's a tough row to hoe, but I wouldn't want to do it with any other bunch of guys.

Chuck Evans

I knew we were playing tough enough defense, that if we could handle Southern Valley's press and shoot well, we could pull off the upset.

Andy Long

I'm thrilled with the performance, but disappointed to lose on a technicality. It's a tough way to learn a lesson, but it doesn't take anything away from the way the kids ran.

Jim Henry

It is very tough for products to get into Wal-Mart and if they don't perform well, they're out.

Jim Silver

It's a way of keeping him involved. This is a tough thing and nobody really knows how to deal with it. The person who is dealing with it best is probably Nick himself. He's been a great role model for everybody.

John Danowski

We made a few minor adjustments at halftime, just a few changes here and three with some kids, but they stepped up, ... It was a tough, long weekend. We played Saturday and Sunday, back-to-back. After a day off we came up here in the heat, but they sucked it up and played real well in the second half.

Leslie Foster

We've got a lot of depth. When we go out and execute, we're tough to stop.

Chris Ask

I think we just need to keep playing tough defense and keep the offense rolling. This is the first time lately that we've jelled offensively.

Aubrey Jensen

Even with a positive verdict, still a tough road ahead.

Michael Kelman

There will be some tough weight classes. There will be some great matches all the way through this tournament. Our goals are going to be based more on individual because of the team we have. We're giving up some weight classes.

Dennis Lyberger

We did have some losses at the end of the season. But they were understandable and against some tough competition.

Rick Tingle

Carthage will be as tough or tougher than anybody we've played in district, so we've got to be ready.

Keith Taylor

I was satisfied with the explanation I received. It was a tough situation to be in... . I don't think that was the story of the game.

Tony Scheid

We've got a tough schedule from now on. We have to keep focused and working hard for our ultimate prize.

Judd Anderson

It's a tough job out there for leaders today. I don't want to be critical of leaders. They have a lot to face.

Rich Wellins

I am not afraid to take tough decisions if people don't give their all for Real Madrid. I will set up an independent commission to evaluate the effort of each of the players, and their sporting and personal conduct.

Fernando Martin

King will have a lot of experience around him, Sol campbell, (David) Beckham, even Michael Owen will be able to help, ... They have for sure to tell him this will be a tough game from start to finish, and the first that makes the mistake will lose the game.

Marcel Desailly

He's going to have a tough job given that Robbie has driven so well for us throughout the season but Darren's experience and speed in a wide range of cars together with his motivation augers well for China.

John Surtees

People assume it's being tough on crime, but what you're doing is throwing these kids away. Studies show that kids who are put into the adult system re-offend quicker and more seriously.

Abby Anderson

I expected a tough game. They're much-improved. For nine batters, we didn't hit the ball. That's three innings you lost.

Glenn Rutenbar

The outcome we're after is Pennsylvania mining families know that when their loved ones go into this tough, dangerous business that at least their maps are dependable.

Mark Schweiker

The past three years have been hard years, a time of hard decisions and tough choices, ... I have looked into his eyes and I have seen his character. I have seen courage and consistency ... the courage to stand up to terrorists and the consistency necessary to beat them.

Tommy Franks

I'm proud of myself. I knew if I fought his fight it would be tough. He's a strong fighter. But I knew that if I boxed him the fight would be easy for me.

Clarence Joseph

[? He's learning how to deal with rough patches.] We go through tough spells, and it's up to you to take something out of it, ... Some people take the good out of it, some people just fall off the radar. I've taken something good out of it, and I really feel like I'm knocking at the door right now.

Freddy Adu

We have a very tough road trip coming up and we need to find a way to stick together.

Sheila Roux

The transition is pretty tough, but it's nothing I can't do. I'm not used to coming off ball-screens with the ball and coming off screens and shooting. It's just a whole different level. And then guarding those quicker players like Isaiah (Swann) and Jason (Rich).

Casaan Breeden

Smith is a ton, no question about it. We work in practice simulating what he does, but it's tough. Our kids did a great job limiting his opportunities in the second half. He wasn't a factor in the second half, but their inside game stepped up.

Ken Bublitz

It's perfect to play again against them because we want to take revenge. It will be a tough game.

Joe Polo

I think things got a little tough in the second period when it got a little physical. Some of our guys went in a little shell and didn't want to get hit or didn't get hit. They just plain outplayed us today.

Mike Butterfield

I think after the Ashes series Australia realized they were starting to relax a bit and they needed to pick their game up a little bit more so they were pretty tough this series.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul

Look around the league and look in the faces of other teams that are winning; the guys that have broken noses and stitches on their faces because they get in the tough areas and take a hit to make a play. It's time we started to get in the trenches, because we haven't for [36] games, which is unacceptable.

Brad Lukowich

Obviously, golf is a very humbling game and at anytime you can blow up or have troubles. It just shows how tough they are not only physically, but mentally with their games.

Oliver Drake

We knew they could shoot like that, but knowing it is different than stopping it. When they've got four guys who can shoot like that, it makes it tough.

David Pyper

What a great day for golf, we had a slight breeze and tough enough hole locations to challenge most everybody that teed it up today.

Gary Hines

I think Courtney Wilson played her tough. She sat out some minutes in the first half. That helps when she gets in foul trouble. She can't score from the bench, I don't think. You never know with her.

Mike Beall

It was a tough game but a tremendous game.

George Demello

Sometimes it?s tough in a game like this when you get out to a lead like that. Players go in and want to be a part of it right away.

Kathy Fedorjaka

Every year, regardless of whether the timber industry is struggling or the fishing industry is struggling, one stable factor has always been this game. Economy-wise, we've been through more than our share of tough stretches, but this has always been something for the towns to rally around when times haven't been good.

Dave Smith

Every game is do or die, basically, right now. With our inability to win on the road, it's tough to be a top team when the top teams in our league have big road wins.

David Chiotti

It felt tough, I felt like I finished strong. My goal was top ten and I was 11th, so I can't be too disappointed. I usually don't like ice baths, but I am going to have one to get ready for tomorrow. I think tomorrow will be easy compared to this. At least I know how to run it.

Blake Russell

The Valley is all about liquor. Wine, and sparkling wine, is tough to move. That's a flip-flop from the Bay Area, where they do higher volumes of wine than liquor.

Tony Baker

We had that tough one against Shaw. We just kind of went back to doing what we do.

Steve Pardue

It's tough because you really can't prepare for how they play, but I think overall we did a good job.

Ronald Steele

She's in a very tough spot, either way it goes. Let's say she doesn't prosecute. There's been a lot of hype (since the FBI re-opened the case in 2004), and that has raised expectations. But if she does prosecute, there will be people saying this is a weak case. I would not want to be in her shoes.

David Beito

He didn't have command of his pitches like in other games, but he battled and pitched well in tough situations. It was a hard-fought pitching victory for Donnie. He battled and came through with key outs when we needed it, despite not having real good command of his pitches.

Joe Hughes

After the pre-Christmas upturn, we are now back to the reality of a tough, discount driven retail market.

Kevin Hawkins

It's going to be tough to build products with the number of refineries off line.

David Pursell

He's a tough kid. He's a competitor. You know, the baseball gods just weren't with us tonight.

Mike Conrad

It's hard being so close for so long. It gets tough on the family, always bouncing around and wondering what's coming next. But it doesn't matter where I am -- I'm happy.

Brian Cooper

Back in goal, I don't get a lot of action, but the action I do get is tough.

Krista Coleman

That's a concern, ... is very tough on the cost of fundraising.

Chuck Hurley

The fall in employment is a good indicator that things are pretty tough. The economy faces some stiff headwinds from the central bank's interest-rate increases and that's going to be showing up in the employment market, the housing market and consumer spending.

Stephen Walters

As a senior, when the game gets out of control, it's my job to keep the team going so that no matter what the score is, we are playing tough.

Anita Rivera

We turned a corner today. Our two losses were against very good teams, Narragansett and St. Bernard's. It was two tough games in a row and I think it kind of got the girls down a little bit. But today we had solid teamwork, a lot of good passing and a lot of good teamwork. They're really pumped up now and you could see it in the scoring, which was really spread around.

Nancy Healey

We look to continue to build up to be a team in playoff contention. We have a tough schedule, but we have experience against some good teams over the past couple seasons.

Scott Yates

Plus we're not going to have that same unity we had in high school. Now it's just Cord and Patch and Trent and Louie-and Jeremy's off on his own. It's tough but we need to make those friendships again, that's the only way to win.

Trent Nelson

I was under the impression it was enjoying some success. But it looks like going it alone without a license was too tough in competition with Barbie.

David Ward

Britt made a tough play. It would have been tough to get around it.

Rich Davies

The thing I don't like is that they've got really good players and a really good coach. That's a bad combination for us. They'd be a tough game for Connecticut or Duke or anybody that would be sitting here talking about it. We're Belmont, so it's a tough game.

Rick Byrd

We just came out a little flat. We've done that a few times this year. We can't do it anymore. We have some really tough games coming up and we just have to go out and get it done. We challenged the kids at the half to suck it up and go and they responded.

Chad Spence

I was basically in the room, and they told me to get out there. It's tough, but I have to be ready.

Chris Mason

It's definitely a tough stretch for us. All we can do is play it. We just want to do the best we can. We want to focus on taking things away from teams and excelling at that.

A.j. Massengale

The difference in the game is that they had 33 points off our turnovers. We knew we couldn't afford to give up easy buckets like that. It's tough enough to stop them as it is.

Ronnie Arrow

Because we were delayed, it was tough to get in contact with all of the schools. A lot of the athletes are involved in other sports, and we just had a tough time getting it all together.

Vera Rodriguez

He was very realistic with me, clear about what's going on, and he certainly educated us on what we'd be facing. He clearly understood how tough it was.

Oliver Purnell

We came into this week thinking this was going to be a really tough game, ... We knew they'd be excited, which they were, and our plan was to take it to them early. That is what we did.

Lewis Cass

I have a good idea which way I'm going, but I don't want to make it official yet. There's still a couple of days, so we'll see. It's a tough situation. I know that it's not anything I've done. I think the circumstances were just unfortunate for me. There's not much I can do. I've taken care of what I can control.

Dustan Mohr

Without that we would have had a real tough time folding him in. Their willingness to work with us was the key to getting it done.

Ned Colletti

It must be tough to walk through that door after seeing horrific stuff.

Shane May

This is very tough to take. I think this game right here was our chance to make it to the (NCAA) Tournament.

Ramon Dyer

We have wrestled better, but everyone is very tough in the state tournament.

Mark Bowman

It wasn't as tough as people make it out to be, ... I was at peace about it after 11 years. I was able to play for a long time and experience a lot of different things.

Charlie Ward

He brought back some photos of a Navajo rodeo. There were some rather marvelous shots of children and we discussed doing a story about cowboy kids. Before I committed to this, I wanted to make sure he meant to record the totality of cowboy kids: male and female, girls and boys, ... As a test, I sent him off to see some pretty tough old ranchers and he just kept going so I thought we could do this.

Max Evans

We weren't playing tough. We had to prove something to ourselves.

David Hooper

He's a tough guy. He had to be with all the punishment he was taking.

Brandon Johnson

It's a tough call for the president. It's a brave and correct decision on his part — and not without risks.

Strobe Talbott

It was just a bad night. It is tough to win when you give up a 10-run inning. The kids kept competing. We could not answer the big inning. They answered every time we tried to start a run.

Mike Bianco

It's tough when you shoot 25 percent for the game.

Dr. Louis Orr

This is always a tough, competitive game in a fun high school atmosphere. We feel good about the win.

John Schwan

This is really tough. I talked to Miguel last night. I didn't even know he was hurt. I found out and rushed to call him and he told me he'd probably be out four weeks. That's just a real big loss, a real big piece missing to our puzzle. Of course, I've got to step up and we all do to take Miguel's place. I know that's what he wants. I'll just try to do a real good job, the way he's been doing.

Stefon Jackson

It's going to be tough, there's no question. It's good going into the game that we've beaten them, but we have to play much better than we did (against La Salle) to beat UE.

Norman Black

We had so many errors serving tonight. We had a tough time battling back. Freedom gave us free ball after free ball. We just couldn't run our offense.

Jennifer Connolly

We scored 14 points in the first half and that's usually a quarter for us. We usually get a lot of points in transition and they handled our press pretty well. This is a tough gym to shoot in, it's so wide and expansive. We're used to shooting in a box.

Tony Camillucci

Megan did a phenomenal job on vault and floor and starting us off on floor. I think we were only a couple tenths ahead of Stanford going into floor. Stanford's a tough team and you really have to fight through 'til the end, so she really started us off strong on floor and they kept it going on through.

Tanya Chaplin

This league has been so crazy this year, it's tough to gauge where everybody's going to finish. I try not to look every day, because you can psyche yourself out.

Rob Kurz

Senior Night was tough at first. I was fine until they started dancing. I have been looking forward to that since I was a freshman. I wanted to see what the underclassmen would come up with. It was good.

Rebecca Blum

It's a big confidence boost with the Games coming up. In the 3,000, I tried to approach it the same way as I will in February by staying relaxed, and even when it was getting tough, to make sure I stayed loose.

Cindy Klassen

They're the toughest team ... toughest team I've ever seen. Not close, and I've been around some tough teams. Really tough. Really tough.

Billy Gillispie

It was an easy tee-shot, but a tough putt. It was a right to left slider that I put a confident stroke to and it went in.

Ben Bershad

It's tough. The whole team's looking up at the shots and you know the scoring chances are so much in their favor. You don't have anything going offensively. The defensive zone is sloppy. When you don't have anything going for you, it's hard to come back. It's hard to dig yourself out of that hole.

Rob Scuderi

I wanted to break [the course record of 57:37], but it just didn't go my way, ... A couple wrong turns, I was by myself from the beginning. It's tough.

Abdi Abdirahman

It's the first Olympic game I'm going to start and I'm really excited. I'm hoping I go in there and play well because it's my first game in three weeks. I know the Slovaks are a tough team. They're skilled and they can really move the puck.

Mikael Tellqvist

After a rough first inning, we battled back. This was a tough way to lose. We should have scored more runs. We had the runners on. It was sure a wasted performance by Craig Beltran.

Scott Palin

They coach hard and tough. You've got to be on time. You've got to have skin like a duck's back. It's a little harsher than college football. But I've come this far. There's no reason to stop.

Jerious Norwood

What a game and what a win. We worked hard in tough conditions and deserved our win I thought.

Lawrie Mckinna

This was a tough night to play. It was cold and wet, not great conditions, but we played well enough to win.

Tony Terry

Has that shtick about being a dumb country boy, but he's mentally tough and intelligent.

Travis Hafner

You can score very low here, or at least you think you can score low here. But the greens are hard to read, really tough.

Digvijay Singh

It was very tough last night. When you get un-elected, you're done that minute.

Juli Lax

What I said was if you're wearing a visor and you're going for safety, OK. But don't go around being a tough guy.

Don Cherry

I've never hit a guy with that many power shots and not have him go down. He's a tough kid.

Devin Vargas

Just a fun day to play golf. I definitely think last week helped me, coming in here when we had tough conditions (the first two days). Then when it doesn't blow, and you can hit a normal shot, you're licking your chops that, hey, I can score here.

David Toms

You know, deep down she's just a great kid. She wants to please. She also has this shy attitude to where she tries to be the tough kid. Deep down she wants people to like her. She wants to like people. She wants to do well -- she wants to please -- and she just has a hard time doing that emotionally and socially without the tough-guy attitude.

Randy Rogers

These guys just keep getting up every day and moving forward. Some days aren't easy. They've had a tough run here lately. But the secret of their success through all of these twists and turns in the road is to just keep moving forward.

Bill Paxon

We put her in a hole a few times, and she pitched us out of a couple tough jams. She pitched an excellent game, and it's a nice start (to the season).

Nick Scheno

These are tough ones to swallow. It shouldn't take us to get down a couple goals to get everybody going.

Patrick Marleau

It's tough to answer. All I know is we worked really hard to get ahead, and everything that people think we had, we didn't.

Albert Hammond Jr

It's tough to try to come back from 0-2 in Class D. It would definitely be a struggle. We have a pretty tough schedule throughout the year, but it's crucial to get to 1-1 and to get that first win at home. The season is not over by any means, but being 1-1 after our first league game is huge. It's a big game for us.

Jamie Freeland

A goal like that can really hurt a team. That makes it tough for them to think they have a chance to come back. We just played such a good team game. That's what we need.

Antoine Vermette

It is so hard out there and it is such a tough course if you miss the fairways, but I managed to avoid doing that for most of the day. I have improved a lot in the last couple of years. My game feels twice as good as it has ever done and the reason for that is my brain.

Anthony Wall

It has to be tough because it changes the routine, the lifestyle the players are accustomed to. Families are scattered, kids are in different schools. It's a big adjustment.

Bobby April

It is kinda tough because it seem like everyone is running for second place. I have been trying to chip away all season.

George Anderson

I still remembered about how to play basketball. (Friday) was tough, I'll have to admit it. But you have to respect coach's decision. Nothing surprises me anymore, so I am trying to be focused.

Vladimir Radmanovic

How tough has this been? Well, mentally, it's been very hard, ... I can't do the things I want. It's hard for me to stand around, or even get around.

Kevin Brown

We do give preference to the lower volume renter. It's simply a resource allocation. We don't have to do it too often. We prefer not to have to do it at all. The realities are of business that sometimes we have to make tough decisions.

Steve Swasey

This is a very tough loss for us. We felt like we had the game, but I have to give them credit. They kept fighting and ended up winning the ball game.

Al Hammell

That team is full of talent, ... We really won on the defensive end. If we play together, we can be a tough team this year.

Jermaine O'neal

This has been really tough and I did everything I could to get fit. I've had a few injuries in my career and you have to realize these things happen and just get on with it.

Simon Jones

We're a safe place to come together to talk about tough issues.

Shelley Lauten

Fourteen is a tough curve here, and this is a tough track.

Christian Niccum

We ran a couple sets that weren't designed for her, but in the back of our mind they're designed for her. When she gets her shoulders up, she's a tough as anybody in the league to stop.

Dave Kerschbaumer

We're going to see a tough battle over the ballots and Flores and Garcia are going to want every vote counted.

Alberto Adrianzen

Unfortunately, he just flew back home to Colorado, and to ask the kid to buy another plane ticket to come back might be tough.

Pete Costanza

That's like being down 7-0 to start out with. This is going to be a tough game. This is the best Central team I've seen.

William Cleaver

Her brothers started her out in wrestling. They give her advice about moves that are easy. They tell her to stay tough and not to show that she's ever afraid. She's a silent type but don't underestimate her.

Kathy Mccauley

It was tough sitting out the 10 games; I just tried to work hard in practice and make the other players get better because I knew I wasn't going to be able to do anything out there.

Derek Withers

It's been tough, but it has been fun, ... This business has its ups and downs, just like any other one. You get out of it what you put into it.

Terry Bradshaw

She's got those Go-Go Gadget arms, and she's pretty tough to play against. I think we did a pretty good job for a while on her.

Julie Stradling

It was hard to ask anybody to take part in something that would get you stigmatized and make earning a living tough for you, not to say create friction with your family and so on.

Joseph Hansen

We just tried to make every catch tough. We tried to fight him in the post, try to make them throw him a lob and try to squeeze him from the back side. He was struggling to get the ball and having to step out and take some poor shots. To me, that (Bryant yelling at his teammates) just let us know we did our job.

Devin Harris

That's what's tough. It doesn't even feel like a win.

Milt Palacio

They're very well-balanced. Inside and out, they're a tough team to defend.

Dwight Littlefield

CEOs diverge from 'normal' successful executives in various ways, creativity being the most important. CEOs also tend to score well above average in their ability to advocate and sell ideas and in tough-mindedness, their resilience in the face of criticism.

Wayne Nemeroff

He's a talented kid. He personifies what our program is all about. He's tough. He plays hard. He got his degree in 31/2 years. He's completing a second major. Great kid. He keeps us going through the kind of adversity we've had.

Leonard Perry

I think some people might think we're insane. My mom's just happy we're not flipping motorcycles. She doesn't call it insane. But she's having a tough time with it.

Lindsey Jacobellis

It's the perfect time to be hot. Everybody knows it's tough to face a hot team in the playoffs, and right now we're hot.

Teemu Selanne

That was tough losing, but we know that the (NCAA) tournament is the start of a brand new season and it's one and done from here on out. We're playing teams that we don't know and haven't played so far, so we have to stay focused this week.

Aya Traore

It was tough to wait out the delay because we had the tempo of the game and we lost it after waiting so long. It makes us want it that much more. We are really hungry for a state championship. Everyone wants the same goal: We want to make it to states.

Kelly Feil

Running against Ed Rendell is not entry-level politics. The Republican nominee must withstand tough questions, be ready with real answers and be ready with real solutions.

Bill Scranton

We played tough. But they had that spurt that kind of hurt us. They were knocking down shots and we weren't.

Rashad Williams

Health-wise, the other day it was good, but his command was not close. It was not good as we needed it to be. We just want to make sure when he comes up here he is not going to get hammered. It doesn't matter how good you throw, if you don't have your location, you're going to have a tough time getting through an inning in this league.

Buddy Bell

What can you say? They are a tough team. They are great shooters and play aggressive defense. Jennie Noreen is a great player who we unfortunately get to see for two more years.

Jackie Parsley

This was a tough loss for our team. I was very proud of the way the guys conducted themselves in this game. The game was over before it was over, and they showed a lot of class and they continued to play and fight until the end.
