Gulfport and Harrison Central is a big rivalry game, no doubt about it. They have a good team and are playing well. We'll have to play well to win. It's tough to beat Gulfport at their place.

This is always a game of atmosphere and county rivalry. The team records are never a factor in this game. It is always an exciting game for both teams and the area.

Damian Segura

It's one of those things when you play three years in a row. Close games, getting whacked last year. It kind of makes it a nice rivalry.

It gets so intense when the kids are out there alone in front of the whole crowd. That's what I think makes it the best rivalry. It's a team sport, but each match is one-on-one.

It is a good rivalry which makes it a good game. It always has been a good game. (The crowd and intensity of the game) plays on the nerves of both teams. I'm just glad we're the ones who won this game.

Joe Noon

Miami is a very tough team, and they're a great rival. You don't really have to say much about a team like Miami. It's a huge rivalry.

John Horton

The rivalry helps, I think, because we won't have to worry about getting ready to play. And I'm sure Munster will be ready to play. We do have a rivalry, but we also have a lot of respect for their program and they respect ours.

Mike Urban

It's the Spaghetti Bowl - anything can happen. It's one of the biggest games of the year. We try not to base our season on it, but it is a big one because of the fact that it is the rivalry game.

Alex Linnenkohl

You just never know. The records, throw them out the window. It's Eagle Valley, the local rivalry. A lot of the girls are club teammates. It'll be exciting. It'll be fun.

David Cope

[Ovum analyst John Delaney told the E-Commerce Times the move seemed to amount to Microsoft saying to Google:] Anything you can do, I can do better. ... The rivalry between the big Internet portals is becoming increasingly intense ... And there's definitely more of this jostling to come.

John Delaney

It adds to the rivalry but it also brings it back to reality and softens some of the edges to it. Certainly this is an intense rivalry and when you have family involved it brings it back to a sportsmanlike level.

Lance Randall

I told my guys coming into the game that it's a rivalry game and don't take anything for granted. (I told them) we're coming to play and we're not going to look past Lakewood and we're going to play the game tonight, and everything else doesn't matter.

Matt Traverso

I would hope the rivalry — the Austin-Decatur rivalry — would take a little bit of the steam out of them for the second game. Maybe it will slow them up a little bit for us.

Darrell Harris

The overtime calls hurt the game. It's a big game, a big rivalry. the refs should let us play. I guess this is the new NHL. To lose a game on a cheap penalty is not the way to play hockey.

You can use the experience from Iowa State. It's a rivalry. And in the Big Ten, it's like every game is a rivalry.

Mike Blaisdell

I think talking with the kids in practice, this is probably more of a rivalry than Herkimer. We're closer to Frankfort than Herkimer and the kids have a lot of friends that go to school and live in Frankfort.

John Cole

It was another great game in a great rivalry. It's always a great game when we get together.

Ray Tanner

We can't help but think about them. There's a tremendous rivalry between the two schools. But you have to try and stay focused on that first match. Ocean is good, very good. And they're dangerous.

Scott Goodale

They'll be up. The kids have been resilient and worked hard all year. Cedar Rapids is a very good hockey team, and it's a great rivalry.

P.k. O'handley

It was always one of the biggest rivalry games of the year. I always bragged to coach Gerber that I didn't think we lost to him when I was there. But we did look it up, and Garden Plain did beat Cheney one time.

Todd Hague

It's like we didn't even get off the bus. It's a rivalry game, and it's the part of the season where every game is big. Every game counts.

I was hoping we'd have enough energy to sustain. But in a rivalry like this, sometimes guys dig a little deeper than they normally do. They had more energy than I thought they would. This is a great win for the Cadets.

Pat Mcnamara

It's a great rivalry, but I didn't think we lived up to our end of it.

Tyrone Willingham

She's not an overpowering pitcher but she pitches in spots and hits her spots well. I think she was trying a little too hard today which got her out of the rhythm a little bit. Sometimes in a big rivalry game, you push a little too much.

It's now 2-2 with Tom but this is not football. I ride to win stages not to compete against another rider. We have a sporting rivalry but we're good friends.

Robbie Mcewen

This is a good rivalry, and we try our best to beat each other on the field, but when it's all said and done, we're still friends.

Larry Dolan

We have a great rivalry with Weston. It's a friendly rivalry, but a good one. It'll be exciting.

Brooks Monaghan

But (Mickelson) is a fan favorite, and you need that rivalry at the top of the game. You need that rivalry around here, and you need it around the world.

Thomas Bjorn

My biggest concern was that we would not play our best game because of the rivalry. Obviously, Heritage played well and made some good adjustments in the second half to slow us down, but we'll take the win.

Mike Campbell

The girls look forward to playing Liberty because we have played them in an indoor league the past two years. We feel like we've battled them quite a bit. It's developed into a little bit of a rivalry because they're a newer school also.

Anna Kramer

Their undefeated record speaks for itself. There's a great rivalry between the schools, and our kids are excited.

Jim Harte

I coached against John Bruce 20 years ago. That used to be a big rivalry for us at Langford.

Byron Utter

For this to be a home game and a rivalry game, this is embarrassing. I tip my hat to the Steelers because they executed on both sides of the ball. They just dominated today.

Cosey Coleman

This is a great rivalry. We have some great games, no matter what the record is. Both teams can't ask for anything better than to play in front of that atmosphere. It's a fun game no matter what. We were fortunate to come out on the winning end.

Ron Price

We've had it in our heads that this is a big game since the beginning of the season. This is a rivalry game and it's the next game, which is always the biggest. That's all the motivation we need.

With Boonen, there has never been any rivalry.

Paolo Bettini

It was an intense rivalry. I remember going to matches and seeing the gym packed. We weren't getting that in Brick.

Pat Kelley

It's good to have Cottonwood back in the league; it's a great rivalry.

Matt Barnes

I sat down one day and thought about how crazy it was that two players from the same team, the same backcourt are going to the biggest rivalry in college basketball. It seems like just yesterday that we were just getting college letters. I never imagined it would come down to Duke and Carolina.

Wayne Ellington

(The rivalry) has changed. It's been a while since Fredericktown beat Clear Fork. Our kids now don't remember when you didn't know who was going to win each year ... but Clear Fork is a big school with great tradition. The kids are excited, there's definitely a rivalry feel to it.

Luke Beal

It's a rivalry game that we've played plenty of times. We did what Marshall always does. We fought back. But we had already missed some opportunities.

Jordan Culbreath

This year Washington is playing outstanding basketball. We've continued to play well, so each year when we meet, they get bigger and bigger with more excitement. It's beginning to be a big rivalry.

Chris Rodgers

The game was called tightly. I think the rivalry played a little into that.

Chris Remsen

Facing Dallas, it's bigger than your biggest rival ever in college or high school. It's a real rivalry and we haven't even played in a regular-season game yet, so it's something just growing on its own.

Gary Walker

She is a very good athlete and will become one of the dominant posts in this conference. The East-North rivalry is one of the biggest there is. They will be looking for us next time.

Sam Powell

This game meant a lot. Poway beat us both times last year. They are our biggest rivalry. So this was really big.

Whitney Spence

We need to play no matter what classification either team is. It's been a good, healthy rivalry and it's very convenient for both teams since we're so close to each other.

Bob Howell

In many regions, soldiers are too emotionally involved, partly because of inadequate logistics support, and of rivalry or (ineffective coordination) within the army.

Most kids don't take (the rivalry) too far. They want to beat one another obviously, but often times they are probably pulling for each other if they aren't playing against each other.

Frank Schade

We didn't play our best, but a lot of that credit has to go to Republic. This was a rivalry game and they were ready to play. I thought we showed some character down the stretch because things weren't going our way tonight.

Brad Barton

The real object of the amendment was, not to countenance, much less to advance Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among Christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establis.

Joseph Story

The real rivalry is intense, but this is minor-league baseball. It's supposed to be fun.

Tim Bawmann

I don't know if there's a better rivalry.

Tom Attanasi

For it to be a rivalry, you have to be able to beat them so we haven't done our part.

Doug Phillips

It's been a great rivalry. We've had some great talent and great games over the years, and it's usually a packed house every time we play. I just hope we can keep it close.

Charlie Hood

I feel like our friendship is bigger than the rivalry. We'll still be best of friends after we leave Duke and North Carolina.

Wayne Ellington

The Classical-Salem rivalry has been going on for 30 years. We could have had 20 losses coming into tonight and this would have been an absolutely huge game for us.

Tom Grassa

Tonight we spread the ball around and had great point distribution. This was a great team win. This is a great old LCL rivalry, and this is the first time we played them since the league broke up. We really played lights out there in the first half.

Joe Bline

I didn't grow up with the rivalry, either. In this conference, every game is a big game. You can't make it any bigger than any other game.

Melanie Balcomb

It's just a great rivalry, ... Two Catholic schools playing as hard as they can for 48 minutes and after it's over they shake hands and pray together.

Blue Jays

Sibling rivalry sometimes leads to the bitterest competition.

Philip Meyer

We all talk about what our high school team could have done to each other, but there is no rivalry. Everyone respects where everyone is from.

Jawann Mcclellan

I think if somebody would have told me back in 1995 that T.F. South and Richards would become a rivalry, I would have said you'd have to have your head examined. From a geographic standpoint, I didn't see how. There was no way possible.

Gary Korhonen

It's always fun playing Carlin. It's a fun, good rivalry. The kids really get up for it.

Steve Rodriguez

There's a hate-respect thing between us. We didn't like each other at all, but we had a respect for the great players Boston had. That's part of what makes the Yankees and Red Sox special. I'd heard about the rivalry when I was with the White Sox, but you don't know about it until you play in it and feel the electricity of the crowd.

Bucky Dent

The rivalry is very much alive. You see a Duke shirt on Franklin Street on a Friday night and they are going to get comments.

Bryan Tucker

It's a rivalry for us because we hang out a lot. It doesn't mean as much for the kids as it does to us.

It's a spirited rivalry. This match just carries a little more weight.

Carolyn Warren

It's just a great rivalry between these two teams.

Dick Bartholdi

My two daughters are now engaged in a scribbling rivalry.

Obviously it's a big game because of the rivalry and the region title on the line. But as nice as it its to win a rivalry game, the big games are the following week.

Anita Mclane

Both Courtney and Maggie are real competitors - and we expect them to have a friendly, heated and healthy rivalry.

Brenda Clark

We got beat by a lot better team tonight. We're not playing very well right now. Coming into a big rivalry game, you know you want to be up for that. For some reason, we just couldn't light that fire.

Pat Rogers

They have a great little rivalry going.

Clint Humphrey

It's a historic rivalry. When you look at the history of the league, Willard has 24 (boys basketball) championships and Bellevue has 17 and everyone else is in single-digits.

Greg Nossaman

We know them and they know us. It's an old Big East rivalry, so I'm excited to play them.

Brooke Queenan

It's always a great rivalry game with Army-Navy and I think our guys showed a lot of heart on the road today. They showed a lot of different defenses and I think our guys did a good job executing.

Jim Crews

The deal makes sense to us at first pass given Adidas' stated goal of increasing market share in the U.S. and its rivalry with Nike. On the margin this looks like bad news for Nike, which has dominant share in major retail accounts.

Lizabeth Dunn

Jim [Bowden, Washington GM] said there was interest on both sides of that rivalry.

Mike Stanton

You see them on the schedule you just know it's going to be one of those days. It gets your juices flowing. This is a great rivalry.

Frank Podkul

Hampden's the best team that we're going to play. It's a rivalry, and we've been looking forward to this. It feels good to get that first big test, but they'll be ready for us when we go down there.

Adam Leach

Central has a lot of players back, including their leading scorer. And, by nature, we'll have a rivalry with Canton and Salem every year. They're both great teams.

Richelle Reilly

I guess now that Georgia State has left the Atlantic Sun and moved to the Colonial (Athletic Association) and we're now in the Atlantic Sun, I can see it growing into a rivalry.

Tony Ingle

We are trying to do some fun things. With Western Michigan coming in, it's a rivalry game and it's going to be a good game. It always is.

Nick Williams

[Both teams are in the North American Hockey Leagues (NAHL) North Division, meaning they will meet 14 times over the course of the season.] This is going to be a good rivalry ... I'm looking forward to being a part of it.

Kenny Miller

It's just a great rivalry. Two Catholic schools playing as hard as they can for 48 minutes and after it's over they shake hands and pray together.

Ward Courville

Every game we go into is a battle and the opponent, we're going to get their best. Penn-Trafford's not out of this race ... and they need a win against us to get in, so you add the rivalry and the fact they're still in the playoff hunt and you're looking at a battle on Friday.

Lynn Washowich

I'm finding out this is a big rivalry. More people talked about this game than any game this year. It's the biggest Tuesday night crowd we've had since I've been here.

Lou Lefevre

I believe it's always going to be a rivalry in the minds of the players.

Jason Glenn

Ames-Valley is a great rivalry, so we know it's one game where we never have to worry about focus with the kids. The kids had great focus and executed the game plan, and we were able to take away a victory.

Joel Sullivan

Leaving Boston was not easy. It was a high level of passion to win, a unique rivalry, a baseball operations staff which was a great, great place to work. That's what I need to learn here and need to recreate here.

Josh Byrnes

It couldn't happen any better, ... This is a Hollywood script. It's so good for baseball. It's great for the rivalry between New York and Boston. And there might be baseball Monday, you never know.

Wade Boggs

This is kind a new (football) rivalry but you already see it in basketball and baseball.

Chris Connolly

It's always a tight game with them. It seems like both teams trade leads and then it comes down to the wire. That's what makes our rivalry great.

Bart Eddins

That's always a big rivalry of ours, and both teams are evenly matched. These girls are really sticking together and not letting anything get them down.

David Gregson

The fact that it is a natural rivalry and it qualified us for the playoffs definitely made it our biggest win of the year.

Rich Glover

The top teams are always going to have a rivalry. Connecticut is more of a big rivalry for us now because they've been so good. Now Georgetown's coming back, they'll be good again and that'll be a big rivalry game. It's the good teams that are rivals.

Jim Boeheim

It's a healthy rivalry that has improved both teams. There's respect but there's also a huge desire to beat them. Always.

Claudio Reyna

One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.

Henry Brooks Adams

The Kat/Dog rivalry is alive and well.

Lini Reading

When Cal races Washington it is always a big deal. There is definitely a rivalry.

Dave O'neill

We're really thankful. It's a decent rivalry without over-the-top crazies. They saw a good game.

Jim Whitesell

Given the type of games and the magnitude of the games, it's approaching (a great rivalry). If the games keep on depending on something like they have been, it's almost a given.

Marvel Smith

We've established that rivalry with San Jose, and we'd like to keep it going. It's good for the league, it's good for both teams, and it's fun.

Herculez Gomez

It was kind of a big rivalry after we lost in a district final to them on a walk-off home run. Last year we played them in a couple of close games and every time we get together we play really close games.

Stephen Gussler

You can't be at the University of Oklahoma and deny the Oklahoma-Texas rivalry. It's there, it's prevalent in every sport. It means a lot to our players, our fans, our university and our state. And it's something that we really embrace.

Sunny Golloway

We've still got a grind and battle ahead of us. I think we're going up against a great team and we're going to have our hands full. I think the rivalry is there regardless of which team is in front.

Gabe Kapler

It's an annual challenge event. They have a good rivalry going. It should be a fun event for people to watch.

Lisa Foster

It makes us the front runner in district, which is probably more important than the rivalry. The rivalry was for the fans, which was good for them. It was great for the atmosphere and for soccer.

Spikes Sturdivant

I have not had any problems with Guillermo. I never felt we had a rivalry. But he was showing an attitude I didn't like. He should know if he did right or wrong. I hope it was just a misunderstanding, and if it was, we can talk about it later. If he wants to apologize, that's fine.

Nicolas Massu

In sports, we still have a strong rivalry with Portugal, ... But in other social things, we have perfect, neighborly relations with Portugal.

Aurelio Rodriguez

It's always a huge rivalry. You can throw out the last time we played them and our records. We're looking forward to it, and I'm sure they'll be prepared.

Danny Grieves

Honestly, you always have to put the teams with tradition up there, ... It's always a big rivalry for us.

Aaron Williams

Any time you get a rematch, it feels good. We don't have a rivalry with them, but the kids didn't think they'd get a second chance.

Leslie Davis

It's a friendly rivalry. It's always nice to get a win over Dartmouth.

Tom Kennedy

It's a pretty big rivalry. We're both returning All-Americans. We're both the top lightweights. It's always a good match when we wrestle.

Joe Dubuque

We've developed a nice rivalry with Rutgers Prep. It's two good teams, a lot of the kids know each other, and this game means an awful lot to them.

Gene Mcateer

I think right now, the rivalry in my mind is obviously Annika. She's the No. 1 player in the world and she's done so much for women's golf, and I respect what she's done.

Paula Creamer

Service rivalry leads to service pride, which is good for building morale and esprit.

Anthony Zinni

Everybody has to step up [tonight]. So many of the kids are good friends, and this rivalry has grown overnight. There is a lot of pride at stake.

Sue Peet

They always come ready to play and they gave us a tough time over there. It's a rivalry game, so we have to be ready for that. It's a great game to play before we start the tournaments.

Joe Bline

It's a nice rivalry with Charlottesville, and we certainly get excited about it. Our girls are good friends with some players, mostly because they play [Junior Olympics] together. But now we get excited for every match because it's a district game from here on out.

Amy Butler

I know it's a neighborhood rivalry, but at one point I told my coaches to look around and see what you helped build.

Donald Davis

This is a great rivalry, even though we are not in the same league, ... I know that Owen J. Roberts players talk about getting the state championship back.

Becky Edwards

This is like a Lumberjack Conference game. You see certain teams on the schedule like Medford, Northwestern and Tomahawk and you get (fired-up for them). It's a rivalry game.

Clay North

It's a great rivalry. Everyone knows now it comes down to playing hard, making shots and cutting down on mistakes. We've got to be ready to play.

Martin Klimes

That was a great, great college hockey game. I've only been in this rivalry for three years, but that's by far the best game of the six that we've played with this team.

Nate Leaman

This was a hard-fought game with some hard hitting. It looks like this is turning into a pretty good rivalry.

Neal Donohue

It's probably a very big deal to them, just like it was in '98, but it's not like the huge New England-Indianapolis rivalry. If we played a few more times, people would start hating the Colts more over there than they already do.

Mike Vanderjagt

We gutted this win out. It has always been a rivalry game for us, so we knew it was going to be a tough one.

Mike Ruane

If it was part of a district race, it would be that much more important. But as far as a rivalry goes, that doesn't take away from it. This rivalry is known statewide, and it's great to be a part of it.

Blake Feldt

Whatever rivalry exists is all in good fun.

David Rector

I'm still kind of new to the program. I don't really know too much about the rivalry. I know a lot of guys really don't like Michigan at all.

Brian Calhoun

We're very excited. There is a little bit of animosity, a little rivalry between Calgary and Arizona because of the amount of times we've played during the season and obviously what happened in the playoffs. So, we're excited for the challenge. It's still early in the season and to have a game like this early on is great for our team.

Bob Hamley

We knew they wouldn't go away and they chipped away. It's a rivalry for a reason.

Bill Otte

This was a good win. Anytime we play Anderson County it's a rivalry, and we've got to be focused and ready to go. I felt like we had that [Tuesday]. Now we've got a chance to take the district, but we've got to take care of business.

Donnie Williams

There's a little bit of a rivalry there.

Ben Saylor

Everybody thought there was this bitter rivalry going on. In actuality, we didn't even know those guys back then.

Neal Doughty

I think the rivalry has helped both stations. They push each other. Of course, you also always want to win.

Barry Mayo

I think you saw there's still something to the rivalry.

Joel Quenneville

If you look at population, and population density, (York and Lancaster) are very similar (markets), ... Put on top of that a built-in rivalry.

Peter Kirk

We need to prepare well, we need to play well. This is a big game for (Memorial). We know that. It's a big game. It's the final stage of an inner-city rivalry and we're really focused on the fact that it's a district game. There's a lot of interest because of the magnitude of the game. It really makes it fun.

Blair Philbrick

This is the way we wanted to end the huge rivalry. We have a huge home advantage and that means a lot to the seniors. We want to go out on top and really lead the younger girls.

Lauren Wenger

I definitely know a lot about this rivalry.

Dominik Hasek

For our organization it's a rivalry game, because every year it's always a battle for the division. It's us and Seattle.

Anthony Hargrove

My only rivalry is with my brother. He plays a lot now. He's getting a lot better. But I still like to take care of business against him.

Kyle Anderson

This feels awesome. I can't ever recall beating them. It's always a good competitive game and it's a rivalry and it's good to come out on the other side of it this time.

Julie Tovey

I don't know if I have ever been as proud of a team in 14 years of coaching. I don't know if you could ask for two better games to start a new rivalry.

Jason Couch

It's a good rivalry and the emotion is going to be there regardless. I think we have to approach this as a playoff series. It'll be two intense games.

Brian Mcgrattan

I remember ... how crazy this place was. I kind of got my first taste. We went downtown and saw everybody going nuts. That's really the first time I got a taste of this rivalry and what it means to everybody.

Jay Henry

In a perfect world, yes, it would be nice to play Andrew twice. We've had such a great rivalry through the years.

Doug Sutor

It will be a great rivalry, but it's not Hasim from Rochester and Joe from Buffalo. Joe owns all of western New York, and we're willing to fight over it.

Jack Mesi

I don't really look at it so much as a rivalry as a game we need to win. I don't like to tell the kids that one game is more important than another. We have nine regular-season games and to me they're all pretty important.

Jay Anderson

I'm sure not a lot of rivalries date back that far. The players and the fans really get into it. The kids have grown up with the rivalry, so it means a lot. It starts in junior high and goes through high school.

Joel Fey

I never liked playing Basil because Ryan was always one of the better girls on the team. It was a friendly rivalry. I knew she was good. But it wasn't until the Vipers that I got to know her and we became friends.

Rayne Reber

This longstanding Jacksonville tradition captures the spirit of college football rivalry at its best and we are so pleased to serve as the host for years to come.

John Peyton

I would say there is because Shannon Jackson, he says it's a rivalry. Their players, from him playing there and coaching there, they look at it as a rivalry.

Roc Bellantoni

JMU is a big in-state rivalry, and we're looking forward to getting back at it and getting on the right side of the win column.

Jessica Wilk

I enjoyed her level of competition. Debbie could pull six kids out of PE class and be competitive. The two schools built a great friendly rivalry.

Mark Zalin

It's always a rivalry but you get tired of them. I mean, four games? I'm just glad Commack's in the past.
