Quibbling Quotients

"All that this means is that I am old." - Colorado State's Tom Hilbert on his 450th career win.

"Normally, I'm not a very good liar-slash-actress but for some reason something came over me." - Christa Harmotto on her Academy Award-winning "No touch!" performance at the end of the Penn State-slash-Wisconsin match.

"Right now we're blood in a pool of sharks." - Mike Hebert after the Gophers lost at Northwestern and Michigan State. That's...vivid. Let's see, Penn State's a great white, Wisconsin probably a tiger shark, Purdue a hammerhead, Michigan we thought was a shark, but turns out it was just a school of tuna.

"It really changed the rhythm of the game. It changed our rhythm. We couldn't find our rhythm." - Long Beach's Brian Gimmillaro on his team -- and I'm just spitballing here -- losing its rhythm. Where's Navin R. Johnson when you need him?

"I'm not sure if there's two coaches in this athletic department that would trade places with anything that's going on over there." - Albany's Kelly Sheffield on crosstown rival Siena, the day of the Danes match against Siena. Sheffield added, "That's not to put their athletic department down." No! Where would you get that idea?

"There was a lot of profanity and cursing going through my mind." - Dave Rubio, after getting swept by Stanford. "Stanford came in and they were really just going through the motions." Well, yeah, but in all fairness, those are some pretty big motions. Foluke motions that slide like nobody's bidness.

"Even though we've had losses we're still going into the match against Baylor with momentum knowing that we had them and I know they're going to be kind of scared of us." - Colorado's Alex Buth, projecting a bit. Hm, "scared"...after a win. Let's see what Baylor's student newspaper has to say:
"Ultimate Frisbee provides useful outlet to BU students"

Oh...that was unexpected.
