Special Regional Weekend Primer

Fun with opening statements from regional press conferences
Christy Johnson: "Obviously, thrilled to be here."
Rich Feller: "Well, it’s great to be here."
Mary Wise: "We had to earn our way here."
Cathy George: "Well, first of all, we’re very excited to be here."
Jerritt Elliott: "We’re excited to be here."
Joanne Persico-Smith: "We’re really excited about the regional."
Mark Rosen: "Obviously we are very excited about being here."
Matt Peck: "We are absolutely thrilled to be here to be quite honest."
Jason Watson: "I guess first and foremost, we are excited to be here."
Russ Rose: "It's nice to be at home."

(I'd pay money to hear someone, anyone, say "Sucks to be here, aaaand I wanna go home. Questions?")

Madison Regional press conference: Christy Johnson wish she knew how they turned the season around; The Spartans most resemble a jade meteorological effect; Hey, Angie Pressey, is there some kind of awkward, random connection we can draw between you being in Madison and your dad having played basketball for Milwaukee?

Gator Regional press conference: St. John's not cocky about being here (although if they were we probably wouldn't get it, you know, with the language barrier and all); Elyse Cusack has the green light to pull a Kelly Leak and take serves away from Tanner, er, I mean Rivers; Elliott thinks there's something to this Hooker kid.

PSU Regional press conference: Surprisingly, Rosen doesn't think the team can slack off in this one; Rose not sorry they drew Siena and Albany, so don't ask; Jason Watson has no idea what's behind BYU's latest success; Wait'll you see MTSU run sprints and do burpies!
