A good quote is hard to find

"We welcome the opportunity to compete in one of the best volleyball conferences in the country." - Toby Rens, Pitt. Suckup. Have some pride, man.

"I think it definitely raises the bar. Playing Penn State raises the bar and being in a conference that’s this deep and competitive is going to raise the bar. Maybe ... we didn’t have to play our best to win, but now the bar has been raised." - John Cook going on and on about being raised in a bar or something.

"To err is human, but the Gators are slowly overcoming that." - Intro sentence from article in the Independent Florida Gator. I'm gonna go ahead and strive for the divine and forgive the journalist for writing it.

"Anything that is thrown our way — fast, scrappy, savvy, powerful; you name it, we've seen it." - Georgetown head coach Arlisa Williams.

"Northwestern High School seniors and identical twin sisters Whitney and Courtney Grimm are also Clark State Community College freshmen. At the same time!" - (Springfield News-Sun) I'm officially protesting the use of an exclamation point in that last sentence.

"I can’t make people who don’t listen, listen, and I can’t make people talk who don’t talk, and I can’t make people not be spacey who are spacey." - Russ. And I can't make you love me, if you don't. You can't make your heart feel, something it won't. ...and other various Bonnie Raitt lyrics.

"At this time last year, it was more like, 'Oh crap. We've got holes." - FGCU's Dave Nichols. You know what's good for that? Spackle.
