It's the Sweet Sixteen! How does it feel?

If you'll recall, we spotlighted some opening quotes from 2007's regional press conferences. Let's see how far we've come in two years.


Jerritt Elliott: "First of all, we're really excited to be here."
Tom Hilbert: "We're very excited to be here."
Rich Feller: "We are very happy to be here."
John Cook: "We're excited to be here. We're happy we made it up here. We're glad it's warm here."
Jim Barnes: "We're just excited to be here."
Mary Wise: "We are proud to be hosting."
Laurie Corbelli: "We're just really excited to be here."
Christy Johnson HYPHEN! Lynch: "We're happy to be here after the crazy weather in Iowa and a long bus ride. We're happy to finally be here."
Russ Rose: "We are excited to be here."
Mike Hebert: "We're awfully happy to be in the regional."
Chris Poole: "We are really excited to be here."
Craig Skinner: We’re very excited to be here and when you get to a regional it’s exciting for every program that made it and it’s going to be an exciting weekend of volleyball.


Suggestion for next year (non-host coaches): "We should be hosting the regional, I hate this town, I hate this gym. I will not be taking any questions."
