Rough Quotations | Page 2

We'd go to games, and there were fans wearing T-shirts that said 'transfer' on them, and they'd start in with all kinds of chants. I thought it was kind of funny. It was rough at first getting all of the transfers on the same page, but we just stayed focused and took care of business.

We ran into some pitching troubles. This is our sixth game here and we're a little rough around the edges.

We're a pretty resilient group and everybody has chipped in. I think a lot of guys have had career years. Right from training camp I thought we had four lines that could score. We've kind of continued that theme all season. We had a little rough patch in December, but over the last three months we're never out of a hockey game.

We didn't want the rough start. Our approach is if we win district games we are in the playoffs.

We've seen some really good stuff and some really rough stuff, ... The market has worked its way through a bottom, at least on the Nasdaq and S&P. Money is rotating, so that means it's staying in the market and that's good news.

We've seen a slight increase. Some of the customers that we've had who haven't been with us for a few years are starting to come back. I wouldn't say it's huge, but it's a noticeable increase. I just took a rough figure last week, and I think in one day we had 30 to 40 tons to be delivered.

The crazy thing is that, if you add up the actual recording time, it was less than two weeks. But Mark was so busy that I got the tracks he mixed two at a time over a period of years. It was frustrating, because I had rough mixes of all these great songs, and he'd be like: 'Don't play them to a soul until they're finished!' I was a good girl scout, though.

Impossible things are really rough to do, you know.

This puts a lot of pressure on us. It is unfortunate, but that is the way it is. It could be pretty rough for students.

This win gives us a lot of momentum after a rough stretch of losses during the middle of the season. We've done a great job since we went to a new defense during the second half of the season.

We had a very rough 2004. You try, but your heart doesn't be in it,

When I came in here he was very instrumental in teaching me patience and understanding the game. He did that constantly and laid back sometimes when I was having a rough day. He had that big-brother mentality.

We need a starter to go deep. It's been a rough series for the bullpen, but so far they've been up to the task.

When you change your offense, there will be a transition period and you'll have some rough spots. I was fairly impressed, for asking them to make a change in two weeks. It was a great job.

When we saw the rough cut in May, I turned around and said, 'George, you got this one right,' ... That's the first newsroom I've recognized on the big screen. That's the first one I could look at and say, 'I've been there,' and had that feeling and that tension, that palm sweating, camaraderie, repartee -- all of that.

There are people who grew up in rough environments, and you just don't hear about it. And they make it in business. They're doctors. They're lawyers. But we're not talking about that. I don't think that makes me what I am. What makes me what I am is that you have success, but you keep your head on straight and you make the right decisions in life.

Like coach said, we're not playing well right now, but we're getting better and we're going to keep fighting. Football's a rough game. It's a tough game. Things don't always go your way. It's a test of manhood to see what kind of guys we have on this football team.

Making a rough judgement from the video, I'd say it could be a nice circuit for me - there are some fast corners and it's very up and down.

Make the layouts rough and the ideas fancy.

Lied is a rough phrase; say he fell from truth

Last year was pretty rough after having such a strong start. This year, we put even more time into it and practiced more.

Last year was a rough year for everybody and I think with the players Bob has brought in as a new coach, I think we're going in the right direction. The atmosphere and tone we set for ourselves from Day One has been pretty high. I think we're starting to get there and every day we're going to get closer and closer.

She was having a rough time last night because I've been gone so long. I promised her after my round I would call her before she went to softball practice, but I didn't make it. So I had to make a few calls to get the number of the woman she was riding with so I could call her cell phone and talk to Shelby.

She's quite comfortable and her spirits are good. This is a pretty rough thing she's going through.

She's having some rough times. He doesn't want to be too far away. We're worried about her.

She slapped him, she was very rough with him, ... She was dropping some toys on his head and watching them fall off. She shook him up and down very vigorously. I was hysterical. I mean, there is no way to explain how I was. I just wanted it to stop.

Simply put, Mr. Holt took an unnecessary risk and drowned in rough water off Cheviot Beach,

She had a rough first inning. Hopefully that was just the first game jitters. She settled in after that and threw a real nice game. I was pleased with that and with our defense overall.

She'd still be a rough hope of going to Riccarton, but she'd have to win well,

She made life rough sometimes. She messed with the wrong crowd.

She is a pretty good free throw shooter. She went through a rough stretch when she wasn't shooting the ball well. But she practices it and she figured out what she was doing wrong. As long as she gets to the line those are free points and you have to get those and capitalize on that.

Me and Mike (James) were talking the other day about it. This is very rare, to find a team that pulls together, all 12 guys. At some point, especially since we're having a rough season, you tend to have cliques that develop or people point fingers. And we don't have that on this team. That's very rare in the NBA.

No normal governor, when there has been no flood, would call a state of emergency at 5:30 p.m. Friday night. You call an emergency when there is a real emergency. This is a political emergency, like having the Republican delegates rough you up.

Montoya was great, and we need that. He had been through a bit of a rough patch, and we hope he's through it now. If he can give us effort like that night in and night out, we're in good shape. That's how you hope a guy bounces back, so you have to give him top marks.

My heart goes out to Nick. He was looking forward to starting practice with us in October, but now our target for his return is the conference opener against BYU on January 5. He has had a rough road physically in his three years here, but if anyone is tough enough to come back from this kind of adversity, it's Nick Welch.

My faith has cost me a lot of money. Because I do creative roles, and I guess someone could think of me as, I could play bawdy, I could play rough around the edges. And so they think, 'Oh, she'll do this. It'll be so funny.' And I'm like, 'I'm not doing that.'

My father ran a saloon in Kenosha, Wis., which is just about as rough a living as I can think of. It was brutal; it scared the hell out of me. I was so petrified all the while I was a child, I didn't know what I was doing half the time.

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

Now we faced a greater challenge -- keeping it up, maintaining the humor and professionalism we started with, during the typically very rough third year.

Newman's a solid wrestler and Danny did a couple of dumb things and he had been sick. He ran out of gas in the third period. But the loss didn't really hurt him. The kid isn't in our region (Region 5) or district (District 17). We'd rather Danny get a rough match.

Naturally, there was going to be the big microscope on the right side. But we weren't about to make it so people called us the weak links. We were going to do whatever it took to be a good line. We had some rough spots in the middle of the year, but now we're all on the same page.

Ridge had his third foul in the second quarter (at Franklin County). J.C. had two in the second quarter and our backups had two on them. We played through a rough situation on the road and a lot of guys stepped up to play.

Politics is rough and tumble everywhere, and many women recoil from that negative aspect of it - the nastiness, the charges and counter-charges.

Politics isn't a reality show or a gong show. It's not show business for ugly people. It's the arena where we define our common life in a rough and ready contest that has winners and losers.

On paper, it looked like we would have a rough time, but these girls came to run today.

On the 18th (hole)...after the rain, the rough was a bit heavy and I hit it short by 10 feet and missed my par.

One of the great things about music is that you can really help other people through rough times. If that makes us overemotional, then I guess that's what we are. If they want us to say sorry, we'll say sorry for them.

I was hanging around with the rough kids who would steal motorbikes and smoke hash.

I guess I like them a bit rough around the edges - like you need to take them home and give them a good scrub (on men).

I got off to a little bit of a rough start to say the least. There was a lot of excitement and adrenaline being my first opening day start. It reminded me of my high school basketball days when we used to bounce around in the locker room before a game. That was the feeling I had. It was fine once I settled down and let my defense work. It was back to the good old Henry.

If we can play our way in, I think he can make it rough on anybody because he's so dominant. When we pitch him, we're going to win.

I didn't really want to be that far back and it got very rough turning for home,

I'd just like to take a moment here to say that I'm totally opposed to violence in the school system. I think that teachers are subjected to a lot of stuff that kids are... Children out there, if you feel so compelled to maim your teacher, I think that's okay, but to really get rough and snuff 'em out, that's tough.

I do not really look back with regret on any feelings or problems I have had in the past. I think I am more able to accept problems as being part of the rough and tumble of life. There are bound to be ups and downs. In retrospect, when you've gotten pasty a tough period, it makes the good things that much better.

I am anticipating a pretty rough year. I talked to a landowner this morning who is trying to shoot as many deer as he can to get his numbers lower.

Cecil you know, started off the first of the year a little rough but he came straight from basketball and he did the same thing last year. Kind of started out shaky but he ended up being one of our best pitchers if not the best.

But the good captain's got to pilot ship through the rough waters and get it to home port. That's my challenge as the head coach because it all falls on me.

Based on the reports we've seen, he's a good man. We need some leadership. Right now we're a ship without a rudder, going through some rough seas.

Basically, she had a pretty rough time of it. She was always in and out of the hospital.

I have amazing kids, an amazing husband, a fabulous career, wonderful parents. If I had to go through some rough spots to get to this amazing place, so be it.

I have lots of confidence on this course. It's one of the best driving courses we play on the Champions Tour. Just enough rough to give you some problems.

I have never experienced any weather that rough in the size of the boat that I was in. I could not control the boat. I did the best I could for about 10 to 11 hours to keep it afloat until we were evacuated. Everyone was seasick. Everyone had a loss of energy. It took a lot of persuasion on my part to get people into their survival suits, but the bottom line is we survived.

I had rough times. There were times that I wanted to give up and quit. Don't give up.

I had opportunities to help us out and put us in a better situation as the game was going on and I didn't, ... I just feel bad for Chad because I know he had a pretty rough going, and for him to have an opportunity to make a play and I don't capitalize on it, that just makes it that much worse.

I felt like the news business was a little rough for me and a little sleazy. So I glided right over into acting.

I felt extremely comfortable and at home on the set and actually I did homework about breaking down the scenes and often had shot lists in a rough way, but it was actually extremely spontaneous. Working with David Lynch-he is so spontaneous.

If in life you feel like a stone tossed about in stormy sea, remember that the rough and jagged edges of a stone are smoothed away by the rough waters. It was a small smooth stone that defeated a giant. When your edges are gone what will you be able to conquer with your life?

I feel like Wandy's thrown the ball really well the whole year, ... I know he's had a few rough starts, but you can't expect a rookie to come up and give the innings he's given us.

I feel like I've got the best job in the world. I just feel so fortunate to get paid to be a kid and play with my friends. So if it's rough or a little bit hot, you just have to deal with that.

I can't say enough about the Nationwide Tour. Almost everything is basically the same, just a little bit bigger. Rough is a little longer; course might be a little bit bigger. Stands are bigger, more crowds. But I've got a lot of friends that are already out here. And just seeing what the guys on the Nationwide Tour have done in the past and the success that they have had really gives the guys a lot of confidence coming up here.

I can't remember when it wasn't really a rough year.

Give me a spirit that on this life's rough sea Loves to have his sails filled with a lusty wind, Even till his sail-yards tremble, his masts crack, And his rapt ship run on her side so low That she drinks water, and her keel ploughs air

Freddy is someone who needs to be carefully developed physically and competitively, ... He's playing with grown men, guys who are not going to care that Freddy's perceived as the great hope for the sport in this country. They're going to do everything they can to make sure he has a rough time.

Friday night in Sauk Centre was a rough night. We started off playing tough but did not convert on key free throws once we were in the bonus. This led to some momentum for Sauk, and they capitalized.

From a supply and demand standpoint, there is going to be some rough sledding for a while,

From what I've talked to her, she's extremely excited to be here. (She is) very dedicated, passionate, everything you'd want in a coach. Coach Jack is such a breath of fresh air for us. It was rough for a couple weeks, but that's in the past. We've got to move on. I think things are going to be really great with her.

Fun is when you're writing a song and you're trying a rough shot at a demo and... it works. That's when it's fun. After that, it's work.

I don't think anybody has quit, we're just going through a rough time, ... We owe it to ourselves and our fans to play as hard as we can the rest of the season so that everybody can have something to look forward to by the time spring training rolls around.

I don't think we questioned anything. Every team has a rough spot during the season -- we just had it during most of the season. And we overcame all of it.

I don't think it's likely it's going to get here, because it's got a rough row to hoe. That water is not conducive to hurricane genesis out there right now. That's cold water.

I don't think people realize or tend to forget how really turbulent a period it was. There was just a lot of unrest and uncertainly, but R.C. stabilized the entire program, and a lot of it had to do with the kind of person he is. I don't think a lot of people really understood how rough the sledding was.

From the get-go, I didn't have what I had last time, or my good stuff in general. I knew it was going to be a rough day, and I tried to battle through it.

Giving up is very easy. To continue to work and to continue to compete is one of the most difficult things, especially in a rough environment when you really don't have anything to play for other than dignity.

I got a bad lie in the rough there but that's going to happen on this course. It's unfortunate because that was a birdie hole today and I couldn't reach it. But in the end I made a pretty good bogey there. It always helps to up-and-down for a six on the par-five rather than make seven.

He was a stray. He was pretty hungry, pretty skinny and in pretty rough shape when he was brought here.

He's had a rough time with the injuries, but he's a tough kid. If I told him to run through a wall, he'd do it. He's a tough kid who plays hard every minute he's in the game.

He's had a rough go of it. But he's got great spirits. He's a real fighter.

I always say that life is not easy for anybody. People hear about the young actors who have a rough life, but there are plenty of other kids who aren't actors who have a rough time, too, and I don't know if the ratio is any different.

He had a rough time. People were disappointed with the results.

He had a rough inning the other day against Morris, and I wanted to get him back out there as soon as I could. He hit his spots and threw the pitches he wanted.

He had a rough go. All that disappointment and anguish, all that time spent on the DL. I really admire what he's done to try to get himself back where he was. This year, you see a relieved guy, like there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

He has had a rough year, no question about it. But he knows that he's in the rotation now, and he feels good about his game. I think he's as healthy as he's been all year, and he knows we have confidence in him.

He got banged up during the meat of our schedule and he had a rough time coming back from the high ankle sprain. That's the one piece (to the offensive puzzle), if you were to look back, you'd feel like we haven't utilized him to the fullest.

He'll be somewhere after Hernandez and Patterson. Whether it will be three, four or five, we'll have to see. He had a rough year, but in the second half he pitched pretty well. This guy's history is that he makes a lot of starts and throws a lot of innings.

Within the local area of Alex itself, wave heights can be in excess of 12 feet. So it's quite rough for shipping in that sense. They need to steer clear.

We try to play our four guards, but sometimes we have games where we get off to a good start, and we can speed people up and stay with it. We were having a rough time speeding them up.

We've been through some very rough times. But we survived. Now we're on the rebound.

We've been through a rough patch this past year. We have not always delivered the consistent, quality experience that we'd like, for customers and employees.
