Quotent Quotables

"Statistically, we were better than Alabama. Mechanically, we weren't." - Kentucky's Craig Skinner, on losing to Alabama. I think we all know how tough it is to find a good mechanic.

"Going 3-0 over quality competition was exactly what (Long Beach State's Alexis) Crimes believed to be a 'home run advantage.'" - the Daily Forty-Niner, on LBSU's winning ways in Denver. "Home run advantage"? Is this some new stat Gimmillaro is taking? Is it the number of balls the 49ers hit into the stands on the fly?

"Utah Struggling After Departures" - Headline from Salt Lake Tribune, re: Utah. How tired do you think Beth Launiere is of these kinds of articles? Is it the same kind of tired people working at Outback Steakhouse get from listening to customers say "G'day, mate!" all day long? I bet it is.

"'It's close to 20 a season, but my standard for happiness is significantly higher than that,' Hardin said when reflecting on her career with the Illini." - from the Daily Illini. Hardin was reflecting on "her" career? Wow...things have changed in Champaign.
