We've had some bright spots and some rough times, but we are playing pretty well right now. We have six games left including (tonight's) game with Lake Zurich, and we're just going to play as hard as we can.

We almost lost him in that accident. He is having a rough time trying to get back in shape because his leg injuries were pretty severe and he is experiencing a lot of pain.

This was the infancy of the industry... There were a lot of rough people around.

You hit it in the rough and I would say from any more than 150 yards out you are not going to be able to get to the greens. Fairway is premium this week. The greens are sneaky quick. You get on the wrong side and they can be really fast. It's playing tough.

You can hit some great shots into the green and end up 12-foot from the pin, just off the green in the rough and, instead of looking for birdie, you are struggling to save par.

When a girl gets cut, it's not like we're being snobs or anything. The girls pick the sororities they want, the sororities list the girls they want, it all goes into a computer, and the computer matches everybody up, ... We're not sitting in a room, going down a list, and saying 'Oh, I hate her.' It's a mutual match. Kind of like online dating...but that's a really rough comparison.

We had such a rough start, being down so early, by so much and still keeping our composure. We just kind of reduced our thinking before that first touchdown: 'Let's just get one series.' Then we reduced it even further to 'let's just get one positive play.' Then start the energy going in a positive fashion over the course of that series of play. We did that and our confidence started to kick in.

We think it has been a little bit of a slow and rough start, but people are beginning to read and see the benefits.

Vanessa was throwing really well coming into the game and we wanted to see how she would handle a game against this kind of opponent. But when you have a young pitcher and don't give her the confidence that you will make plays behind her, it gets rough out there.

We feel like it's a very comparable venue to what we are going to experience. We are watching very closely their timing of construction, how they grow the rough up, what are their restrictions on carts because everything changes from October to March.

You gotta know what the songs are about, otherwise you don't know how to play them. If it's about a rough guy, you play it a bit rougher or something like that.

You, for example, clever to a fault, / The rough and ready man that write apace, / Read somewhat seldomer, think perhaps even less.

You look at my stats and you'd think I'd been giving it up. I'm throwing the ball fine. There are no mechanical issues. I had a rough opening day, but I haven't been hit hard the last two starts.

Even through some of the rough spots, the team has shown resiliency. You got to hang your hat on whatever you can right now to try to build some confidence. Tonight we finished the job.

Ben started out a little rough for us, but lately he's just been a horse. When he has the ball, this is a confident group.

Everybody keeps saying it was a terrible year, but those weren't too bad of numbers. But he did struggle. He got hit in the head early and had a rough spring because of his winter with so many illnesses. Overall, if you look at it, he's got a lot of things that he can improve upon offensively.

Every team is going to have some rough patches. Great teams overcome the rough patches. I thought it took us too long to respond tonight, but we play hard and we're going to get better.

Each loss was frustrating, going through each loss and seeing how far we had dropped. Because we know we're not this bad. It was a rough year for us, and next year will not be like this.

Esteban is throwing the ball better than he had at any point last year so that is encouraging. There is going to be some decision to made that may or may not involve Esteban, but there is competition at every level. As long as he throws the ball like he is capable, then he should be a part of it. He had some rough spots last year.

Florida State is a very good team this year. They got off to a rough start this season with a key injury in their lineup, but they've just returned to their full roster, and with him in the lineup they are one of the better teams in the ACC.

Every time we play them, it's a rough game.

There's still three more years. Look, this has been a rough patch, as rough as this modern-day Republican Party has been through in 30 years. But while this has been going on, look at the other side of the aisle, no leaders, no ideas, no agenda.

There's no telling how much revenue we'll lose this year. It'll be a rough year but nobody lost their life and we're very fortunate.

I started really rough but I played pretty well after that.

I've been on them for about 18 weeks over the past year, so it's been a rough go. I'm excited to move beyond it and start rehab again when I get back to Iowa City next month.

They are an outstanding ball club. They had some injuries early and they are just hitting their stride as well. Doc Sadler has got his team playing really, really well.

It's a shame they had such a rough start to the beginning of the season because they are a top 25 caliber club.

The rough was difficult and we tried to go for accuracy rather than distance off the tee.

The rough patch he hit at the end of last season would shake anybody's confidence a little, but it's nothing that can't be repaired.

The rough is very, very difficult and the course is long. Very long. It won't be a problem for Tiger, but it will be for a lot of players.

The rough is very high, but the course is in very good shape. The weather was perfect, and guys are going to make birdies.

The rough is very deep but it's playable. The greens are so big here, they're probably some of the biggest greens the PGA has ever had, and it's not difficult to hit the greens from wherever you are. To get close to the pins is another factor. The course favors the longer hitters but not that much. I think it's going to favor whoever putts well. You've got to hit fairways but at the same time, you've got to putt well. The guy who putts well is going to win the tournament.

The rough is pretty thick. It's a half-shot penalty coming out of there.

I've never played with balls that are getting that big. It's as simple as that. I thought the balls in Rotterdam were quite heavy till I came here. You know, the court's definitely, you know, it's a little bit rough out there. That's always going to chop the balls up a little bit more than a smoother court, such as a US Open hard court. But, you know, there's no reason why the ball should get, you know, that heavy.

It would've been rough justice at the end if we would've won. A theft really. But you learn a lot from these games. If you believe in yourselves, you always have a chance.

It was very rough to sit on the sideline on not be able to do anything to help my team, ... I felt kind of terrible.

It was weird to get my first at-bat before I pitched my first inning. That helped me relax. I was just trying to get through the first inning. That was my goal. I was expecting to have some rough innings and have to battle through it.

It was all rough country. This is kind of funny, but I just knew in the back of my mind when they (the Army Corps) completed the dam, my ring would probably be at the bottom of the lake someday.

It was a huge win for us. We had a really rough week. We played without a couple of players tonight.

The smaller the track, the more it comes down to the driver. I would say its 30 to 40 percent driver here. It's a good track. We had a rough year last year, but overall we've done well here. This weekend, this is what racing is all about, the longer races. I still get that enjoyment.

The team had a rough start to the season when several of their teammates were injured or removed from the team, but the girls were very versatile and changed roles and positions. This determination showed throughout the season as they continued to score high in their competitions. Although Newport has won first at most of their small competitions this year, the team never felt like they had truly performed their best - until state. They had an amazing day.

The three newcomers kind of had a rough time in this marketplace, ... We think the audiences were fragmented and sent in a lot of different directions.

The things that I admire him most for are his competitiveness and an ability to rise out of a rough neighborhood. The thing we all saw about him was his great love for his fans, in particular children. He just had a tremendous personality. He never forgot where he came from.
