Jakob is in his best shape ever and rode a really amazing world championships. It was a shame the break didn't last all the way, because I think he could've been the new world champion.

Dave Freudenthal

The safest course for public officials is simply to throw all of the money in a sack.

Christiansburg's ranked nationally in the top 10. They don't have many weaknesses. They're strong from top to bottom. Fortunately, there's only one of them in each weight class.

John Smoltz

This has got to rank right up there with anything he's ever done, ... Look, we've all come back on three days' rest before. But he's forty-three .

John Underwood

It's going to make our relative rank weaker.

Jason Shelton

It's a situation where we'll have to play very well just to stay in the game. There's a reason why Union is ranked so high. They're very, very good.
