Tiger Woods

The South Course, you'd better have the ball-striking up there. It's just that some of these pins now, they are so close to the edges, you have to be pretty precise. If you do miss it, you're going to pay the price, and I think good ball strikers are going to do well here.

Tayshaun Prince

The thing we wanted to do is really concentrate on rebounding the ball and not let them get second-chance opportunities on the offensive glass. We did a good job on that.

You've seen the way the club played at the end of the year. A lot of other clubs with similar problems that we had and that sort of thing, the individuals he has to deal with here, a lot of other teams would have collapsed. A lot of people think we collapsed; we just got beat by a better team.

You saw that with Fresno State, who after us completely went downhill, and that's a really good football team. And that's a perfect example of really giving us their best shot and giving everything they can to beat USC, and then they don't have enough to beat (Louisiana) Tech and Nevada, teams that they should beat by 20, 30 points. That's why what we've done is so special.

Bob Holthus

You run each race in a different way. The first time we ran here, we felt he could go to the lead and still beat them, which he did. A lot of people, I think, thought that that's the way he had to run. But it's definitely not. You can do about anything you want with him. He's a pretty kind horse.

Brian Green

And that's the thing that a lot of people don't really get and a lot of you guys (sportswriters) don't understand. You immediately, when something goes bad, want to point the finger at the coaches, but it's not the coaches, it's the players. Right now we're not getting the job done. We're making mistakes and missing plays, things that we control. The coach has no control over what goes on on the field. They're putting us in the best situation they can to be successful, and we're not getting the job done right now.

Matt Creamer

We wanted to tempo the game defensively to get some run outs. We wanted them to play fast.

Alberto Salazar

I had as many doubts as anyone else. Standing on the starting line, we're all cowards.

Brooklyn Heights itself is a window on the port.

Alex Garland

When you develop an infatuation for someone you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn’t need to be a good reason.

But in the haze of infatuation, it’s just what you’ve been searching for all these years.
