Q to the U-O-T-E-S.

"For me, I got 150 wins now? Hot darn." - Northern Illinois' Ray Gooden. Potty mouth. There are kids reading these articles.

"It was kind of funny at the end, on the bench one of my assistants, Brian (Heffernan), thought that maybe the crowd would be rushing the floor, like after the football game. They didn't do it but we thought that might have been fun also." - Wisconsin skipper Pete Waite. Ha-h--- yeah I don't get it.

“If it gives us a chance to take a timeout and thank all of the players, all of the assistant coaches and the support staff, then it’s worth coming up with that number.” - Mary Wise on reaching 700. "Worth coming up with that number"? What does that mean? It's not like sports info picked it out of thin air. "Hey, can we honor Mary for some random number of wins? Like, say, oh I don't know... 700?"

"Instead, they completely come back and we just roll over. We don't compete. We don't fight back. That, to me, is the most disappointing part of this." - Dave Rubio, explaining in three different ways what happened to the Wildcats against UCLA. I just wish he'd continued the meme by saying that it was dispiriting and troublesome -- as well as disappointing -- that it happened. I mean, if you're going to go with threes, go with threes.

"We didn't show much character or heart. Certainly, that's very disappointing." - Fran Flory, ignoring the rule of threes. How hard would it have been to add "tenacity" to that sentence? Not hard at all.

"UCLA is this unforgiving team. They are going to make you pay. They are going to grind at you. They pushed, we pushed." - ASU's Jason Watson, apparently under the impression that UCLA is some kind of mafia enforcer.

"I feel like I’m coaching an elementary school team and that’s no offense to elementary school volleyball." - Russ Rose. Elementary school volleyball could not be reached for comment.

"'We’re having trouble with what’s that thing — the overhand serve,' Rose said sarcastically." - Russ again. Are ya' sure that was sarcasm?

"[Fresno State is] much improved. They attacked the ball. They looked like a real team." - Dave Shoji. That was kinda nice, right up until that last bit.
