Eventually, all things merge into one, and quotes run through it.

"But we were able to refocus and put up a solid effort [on Sunday], which will hopefully segway into the upcoming weekend." - Joel McCartney. Now, I'm pretty sure the reporter goofed here. I don't think Joel meant to say that the 'Dawgs will ride a two-wheeled, self-balancing electric vehicle into the upcoming weekend, but I guess I could be wrong.

"We are definitely going to have to change our defense and our blocking skills and probably our serving." - Glen Conley. And this ashtray! Our defense, our blocking, our serving, and THIS ASHTRAY!

“One of the things the team tried to do was create some intensity, and what they ended up doing was creating a bunch of noise that wasn’t very specific and wasn’t direction-orientated. It was just noise for the sake of noise." - Jason Watson. C'mon, Sun Devils! Would you guys get your act together and create some specific, direction-orientated noise! Sheesh...

"Through connections, she wasn’t really happy there and didn’t have great connections there in terms of the coach and all of that." - LSU's Fran Flory on Sam Dabbs' transfer from Louisville. That, is one tortured sentence. Anyone hearing tap dancing? Not that anything untoward happened. "All of that" seems like an applicable term for Dabbs' tenure at Louisville.

"It might be stretching things a bit to call it the greatest turnaround in college volleyball history." - The venerable Todd Henrichs from HuskerExtra.com. That's not a good start, but go ahead, continue: "But that Nebraska missed only two serves in Saturday’s sweep of Kansas State comes close." /forehead slap

"The Big 12 Conference says it has addressed Nebraska's concerns about the volleyball environment at Oklahoma and considers the matter closed." - USA Today. Well I'm sure that will take care of it. Nothing like nondescript generalities to take care of controversy.

"It was so sick. They are a big rival, and they were snooty before the game like they were better than us.” - Chico State's Gillian Heydorff on their big win over Sonoma State. Snooty? Snotty!
