Pack Quotations | Page 2

I think in the Big Ten, we're one of the better stadiums. We pack it in there.

It came to the point after that game where we were either going to pack it in and have a miserable couple of months or we could turn it around and have our best. It's a good sign that we chose the tough road of getting back into (the race) and clawing our way back up. We've gotten ourselves into a good position going into the break.

I think it's going to be really interesting because I think some of the teams that are in the middle of the pack are probably better than some of the teams that will get a bye.

I think the depth is there but what we've got, I think, is a crop of four, five, maybe half a dozen bowlers all in the pack. We'd like to see one of those put their hand up and really come out of that pack and really grab that opportunity once it's given to them.

Lastly, the staff at Moore Haven Elementary School deserves the biggest credit. The staff had to pack up all their teaching materials, personal materials and school district materials at the end of the school year last year to be moved from the 64,000 plus square-foot facility, then they have come back on their own time to unpack all those materials and get their rooms back in order.

I thought the girls did a great job midway through the third and into the fourth quarter. We got down by four or six points, but they kept fighting through it. It would've been easy to just pack it in and give up.

I think by far and away he was way ahead of the pack at the time he went down. But the numbers he has now, they still spell out pretty good in the big scheme of things if you want to dissect numbers and break them down. Everybody else had an opportunity of three months to really put some distance between themselves and him and elevate themselves, but it didn't happen.

I think it was a time when it just felt like it was time to make a change, whatever that was. Let's just pack it up and let it go at that.

I think this race is going to be aggressive. There are a number of teams out there that have solid riders that are going make the race fast. They aren't going to sit in the pack and have the slower (teams) stay around. From the start, this race is going to be played out to be one of the fastest races in recent years.

I think that is a pretty good reflection on the students when the only bad thing you can find in the entire school is one pack of cigarettes. That is pretty good.

I went to Japan not thinking I was coming back...I got on that plane, and I packed real light.

I thought I wasn't coming back.

Just because you eat doesn't mean you eat smart. It's hard to beat a $1.99 wing pack of three at a fast-food restaurant - it's so cheap - but that wing pack isn't feeding anyone, it's just pushing hunger back an hour.

Jay has shown he can win but he also understands that this program needs to be more consistent. We can't have the valleys - we need to stay more in the middle of the pack in our lean years. We need to be more competitive on a year to year basis.

Our goal last week was to run as a pack and to gain the confidence that we can compete as a team and be successful.

Pack a lunch and get ready. It's going to be a long day.

Paper and leather binding for books are greatly appealing. It's going to be a transitional period. A fellow growing appreciating books might never buy an electronic book. But someone growing up using a game boy will find using an e-book is a very natural way of reading. And they'll find it a lot more attractive than carrying around 50-pound pack of school books.

Our philosophy has always been you better pack your defense and your board work on the road. Because those ugly nights and those poor shooting nights you just have to grind games out. Today, we just had to grind it out.

Our two biggest improvements since last season have been Claire Hall and Elise Walz. Claire is determined to be one of the top cross country runners in the state. She is no longer an 800-meter runner doing cross country. She has trained herself into being an outstanding distance runner. Elise Walz was fourth at our time trial and looked better than ever. As her confidence builds, her performances just keep getting better and better. She will look to run in the lead pack at every meet.

Right now our flood threat is ... dictated by what kind of snow pack is in the mountains.

Pictures that test great go out and go in the toilet. And pictures that test poorly, all of a sudden they'll come out of the pack and people like them, but they don't get a chance because a studio won't really get behind it if it tests poorly. It's a mess. I mean, it's really a mess.

Patience is going to be key around the narrow circuit. I'm close enough to the lead pack, I intend to stay with the lead pack and take advantage of any opportunities that come my way,

Our modern, deadline-a-day lifestyle overtaxes our adrenal glands, which end up overproducing cortisol, which in turn makes it nearly impossible to sleep and can put you at risk for a heart attack.

I think he will be one of the highest paid coaches in the conference. Right now he's in the middle of the pack with his salary. If we're going to have a program that aspires to be one of the top three or four programs in the league on a regular, consistent basis that comes at a cost. That's the direction we'll probably need to continue to head.

I thought it sounded great, but at the same time I said, 'I think I am going to puke,' because you can't mess it up. Either you go out and you nail it or you quit the business, pack up and move to some strange country where no one knows who you are. It was really that much pressure, but what was really interesting was that once I met Sir Paul McCartney, all of that went away and ... he brought everything down to a level that made it more real rather than surreal. And that was very helpful because in my mind he is one of the greatest legends of rock and roll.

This shows Intel's determination to stay ahead of the pack and invest in next generation technology in order to meet the market's needs.

When you get into a pack of cars, then you feel the problem worst, handicapping the driver and handicapping our ability to race. When there's a crosswind, the cars suffer badly as well, which makes them even more difficult to control.

What are you going to hold on to that for? It's counterproductive. There's another game (tonight) and we've got a lot of hockey left. You can't dwell on one game that you lost badly.
