It's a rivalry game. Every time these two schools play, no matter what sport it is, emotions are going to be high.

Adam Boone

They've got a good team. It's a big rivalry, so I hope the guys will be ready to play.

Henry Dickerson

It felt like a rivalry game. It was great to go out there and compete with them. They're a great team. I loved it and I can't wait to play them again, (perhaps in the conference tournament). The Big East is tough.

Antonio Graves

Now that we've stepped it up, it's a bigger rivalry now. It's actually competition now compared to what it used to be.

Mike Carroll

It's the rivalry. That's the game everyone wants to talk about.

Ray Edwards

We have a huge rivalry with Highland, so the game was real intense with the fans. It was one of the most intense games of the season so far. It was a division game and a physical battle.

Lester Funk

The rivalry helps our recruiting. We're very competitive with them in most programs. With the exception of football.

Rob Spear

They're still the Huskies. It's a rivalry game and they're going to come in pumped up and ready to play and try and take it to us.

Terrence Whitehead

I don't think [the rivalry] really translates to the game. Instead of focusing on the rivalry, I'm focusing on doing my best.

Christopher Chilton

I want to start a rivalry with Wadsworth and Green. But we have to beat them for it to be a rivalry. They're a first-class program from bottom to top.

Tony Whitmer

There's always still that little bit of rivalry there. It's good to play them.

Melanie Mumbulo

The rivalry between us all will be no different from those glory days back in the 1980s and 90s but given the challenges this time round, the demands of racing will be tougher for all concerned.

Nigel Mansell

It felt like a rivalry game out there. It was a great atmosphere.

Antonio Graves

Anytime you play a team like Stony Brook or Long Island University, it is going to be looked at as a local rivalry.

Bill Edwards

There's really no rivalry with us and (Wesley Chapel), even though we're in the same county. That was very important for us because we needed to win that game to move on.

Brian Griffin

The rivalry means great competition. It's always very intense like it was tonight. When you have two good teams like this, the game's always going to be hard fought.

Steve Morgan

[Luckily, there's no sign of rivalry between the two.] We support each other as much as we can and go and see each other's shows, ... Although I didn't watch all of Doctors, I try to catch pretty much everything he does.

Rupert Penry jones

There's a long tradition of rivalry between our two programs, and I know they'll be ready for us.

Greg Marsden

This has been a rivalry for a while and we're both moving to different conferences, but I think any time that we meet up in the future it's going to be just as heated and just as fun to play.

Jeff Gaucher

I wanted to renew the rivalry a little. I think it's lost some of its luster.

Thurman Thomas

This is a pretty classic rivalry. These three crews have been racing this cup for a long time.

Joe Wilhelm

The bad part of the rivalry is that one of us goes home. We're both quality teams.

Clarke Singer

We have quite a rivalry with Navy and, honestly, we just want to beat them. The seeding is a consolation and will give us a confidence boost going in to the tournament, but we want to beat them.

Tim Ryland

It's our biggest rivalry game and our girls would like nothing better than to beat Silver in their backyard and win the district outright.

Jerome Sandoval

Detroit's always Detroit, but we're going to have a lot of new faces that weren't there for the rivalry. There's always that little edge going into that barn because of the fans, and there's always a little bit of a hatred.

Dan Hinote

To get a rivalry game for the championship, there's nothing better.

Dani Kubik

Finland is a small country and Sweden is a little bigger. They are right next to us, and it's a great rivalry. I think it comes naturally. I imagine people in Finland and Sweden are going crazy for the game.

Antti Laaksonen

It is the beginning of a regional rivalry, plus when two teams play each other four times in five days, it can get pretty physical. I think you're two tough teams which play hard.

Matt Thomas

That was probably the pinnacle of our rivalry. It started to heat up.

Matt Carroll

So, yeah, the rivalry is still there. Especially for the guys that have been around the last number of years.

Dan Cleary

This is the best rivalry in sports. This is a blast. It will be phenomenal if we win three. That's our goal. It has to be our goal.

Tony Graffanino

It's going to be a good game. It is a big rivalry, especially from the Finns' side. They think of themselves as the little brother, even though they may not want to admit it.

Johan Franzen

Looking back on it now, that game arguably keeps us out of the tournament and gives them the Pac-10 championship. You're not going to find many rivalry games that can have that weight. Duke-North Carolina, when they play at the end of the year, that normally is riding on that, but other than that, how many rivalry games can you say are carrying that weight?

Kevin Kruger

Since I was little, I knew that I have wanted to be part of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry.

Craig Hansen

It's definitely a good rivalry. We don't have to tell the kids about getting excited, and I think they feel the same way. It's a big game for everybody. It's always real special.

Billy Sparacio

I think we have no apologies to make. We were in a state of global rivalry with a global adversary.

Chester Crocker

I'm really proud that we came back, but I'm disappointed because the rivalry is so classic. But it was a great game to be a part of.

Lauren Passafuime

Playoffs are right around the corner, and this series will set the tone for the first series. We've had a pretty good rivalry with them. It seems we play them in the first round here, and these games will just add to that.

Kevin Saurette

The idea of a handheld rivalry with Nintendo is an irrelevance, ... Those formats don't appear in our planning. It's not a fair comparison; not fair on them, I should stress. That sounds arrogant, maybe, but it's the truth.

Phil Harrison

We have a great rivalry with the Falls.

Al Keckeisen

I can't wait, because I have heard about the rivalry and playing (Indiana). Every time you play an Indiana school, you are playing for bragging rights.

Patrick Rose

It doesn't matter if they lost by two or 10 or 46. We're both from Albany and this is a cross-town rivalry. They did some very good things today. Battle was able to penetrate at will and you can't allow that if you want to win.

Doug O'brey

It's always a good, clean rivalry. It's something we always look forward to.

Doug Lipscomb

The last couple of years the rivalry has intensified between us. When you play Bradley in any sport you want to do well. We are looking forward to the match and I'm sure Bradley is too.

Greg Kennett

It came down to having more desire to win. We have a good rivalry with Conestoga and did not want this to be our last game.

Leigh Crawford

There's always a friendly rivalry between the employees here that went to one school or the other. And obviously it carries over to the customers. From what I can gather, it's a friendly rivalry. No brawls in the aisles or anything.

Chad Sanders

I can't think of any better rivalry. We don't like them, they don't like us.

Thomas Williams

It's a good rivalry. They do a good job. They have an impressive offense, and a real good defense.

Bill Kramer

The rivalry is still there, definitely.

Nigel Mansell

Both those guys pitched their hearts out. That's the way (the rivalry with Clearwater) should be. Just coming down to the end like that.

Tom Hilbert

You know there was a time a hundred years ago when people were shooting each other as part of that rivalry.

Phil Bronstein

Carl Junction and Seneca is a big rivalry. I quickly found that out.

Brad Shorter

That's a big win for us. We haven't beaten them in more than a year. It's a big rivalry.

Dana Drummond

If we play our game, I like our chances. They're very intense games. We've developed quite a rivalry. We expect quite a battle.

Bruce Plante

We'll definitely see them again in the section finals. We're definitely the two best teams in the section. It's probably the biggest rivalry in the whole section.

Tom D'addio

It's a rivalry from the old Westside League.

Bob Hall

In 1968, I won 26 games and completed 30 games, but I couldn't get one vote for the Cy Young, because Gibson had a 1.12 ERA, ... So, you know how big the rivalry was back then.

Juan Marichal

I can never stay up late enough to catch them. But I don't mind. I guess it's good for the rivalry.

Lance Smith

This is a rivalry game and they are excited about it. Everybody is intense and this is something they are not overlooking based on last year.

Jennifer Reyes

It's huge. This is my biggest win at Michigan State with the magnitude of the rivalry and beating a Top 10 team on the road. This is a great momentum builder.

Andrew Stanton

It's a big rivalry. We haven't beaten them in a long time, and to beat them twice in one year is awesome. I don't even remember the last time we've done that.

Casey Miller

We only won four matches but we got bonus points from three of those four. Cleveland State is a decent team that beat Ohio State earlier this month. There's kind of a rivalry between us so we were fired up and ready to wrestle.

Joel Greenlee

I'm sure the communities may feel that way. I have heard some about the rivalry. But I'm looking at it like we're trying to win another district football game.

Doug Kuhlmann

It's a big preseason game. A lot has been made about this rivalry and it should be a very intense game.

Tim Gardner

We feel we were the better side; we constructed the tries to win the football game. But this great rivalry between the two sides is there again, which is great.

Graham Henry

I think the first time we played them it was a rivalry. You could see how great they were going to be and obviously they were going to improve.

Kerri Walsh

We talked about it on Monday. This is a big, traditional rivalry. You can't play this game without being up for it and without being ready for it.

Bill Dinardo

It is different with it being a rivalry. We feel we have the better team. We have something not only to prove to ourselves but to the other teams that we're the better team in East Texas.

Andre Payne

It was a really good game for us. Last year, they beat us in the last match of the year by a goal, so this was a solid win for us. We have a good rivalry going with them and it's always competitive when we face off.

Keith Wilbur

This is our biggest rivalry, and it's something you really can't explain. I've tried to put it in words many times, but I really can't. This is a game you're on a mission to play.

Tim Massaquoi

It?s hard to know what will happen. Will the first game add fuel to the fire, or will it go in the other direction and be a letdown? But I think this is a nice rivalry and something to look forward to for many years to come.

Rand Pecknold

I hate Miami. When I first got here, I didn't know about them, coming from New York. It's a hate game, it's a rivalry game. You've got to come with that.

Adam Roberts

It was nice to get that win against a team like Skagit that we have such a good rivalry against.

Becky Rawlings

This is more than just another game on our schedule because it's a local rivalry. Add the fact they beat us pretty bad last year and that makes it even more important.

Jerry Schmitt

If it's anything like that Packers-Bears rivalry or that Packers-Minnesota rivalry, it's a big-time rivalry. I've seen Dallas and the Washington Redskins play before. I've heard all the stories.

Marco Rivera

Yeah, that's our rival, it's a huge game for both schools. We both are after the same thing, and that's another win. When you get a rivalry game, you've got to be ready because that's about as intense as it gets.

Rick Beans

There's a little bit of a rivalry about which sight has the best view. So see them both and make up your own mind.

Laura Kidder

It was a great game. It didn't matter for the league standings, but it's a nice rivalry we have with those guys -- capacity crowd, intense environment.

Scott Merzoian

It's a good rivalry. The kids get after each other. It was really well played, too.

Allen Green

It was just another chapter in a great rivalry, another story of two great teams fighting hard for one goal.

Lance Jeter

This is a good Gateway-area rivalry. Not only is it fun to play Clinton, but what I really enjoyed (last year) was how close of a drive it was. Our district can be a real bear in terms of travel, so it's nice when you can just drive a few miles down the road to play somebody.

Kurt Kreiter

A rivalry is a rivalry. I don't care when you play it.

Doug Marrs

This match-up is turning into a great rivalry. Both teams played well, played hard.

Christine Nelson

[The Volunteers] are always really good at home, and they always race us tough. It is a pretty heated rivalry. We can't take them lightly.

Gregg Troy

It's been a good rivalry the past couple years with them.

Mark Bloom

It's great to see kids come into this rivalry match and get after it. To win a match in the conference is a big deal; to win one on the road is a bigger deal. To win one here, well, it's huge.

Curt Berger

I think the rivalry was there the whole time and it is played that way. We came out and played hard, but they happened to be a lot better than us (Saturday).

Jeff Wilson

Granted, there was rivalry during my time, but it was not as pronounced as is the case now.

Gaositwe Chiepe

Us and Scotland is a huge rivalry. Earlier in the season they just killed us. It's a good way to end with the consolation championship. The consolation championship is the same record as second place in this tournament.

James Tjeerdsma

Many young people carrying real or imitation firearms do so in a mistaken attempt to either boost their image, or from a misguided idea about self-protection. In addition, most London shootings involve members of the black community and are often related to deprivation, gang rivalry or the illegal drug trade.

Diane Abbott

I thought we did a nice job of keeping our emotions in check. This is an intense rivalry. We played within ourselves.

Pat Kiley

We had too many penalties. Most of them were effort plays. They weren't smart, but they were effort. With a rivalry like this, both teams played hard. It was a competitive ballgame from an effort standpoint.

Roger Holmes

My teammates told me that it's a hot rivalry. Everyone is prepared for it, though. We're hoping that the stadium will be crowded, and we'll come out flying like we did today.

Yannick Reyering

This has been a tough week for us, ... The girls have responded well. East Ridge is a big rivalry for us. Coach Neely and I are great friends, but we draw the line when we play.

Susan Thurman

It's added some spice to the rivalry.

Tom Lemming

This rivalry is intense and everybody is just going to bring it. It's Senior Night and we just have to get it done.

Briann January

There is a host of new entries, ... Each one has tremendous capacity, and the rivalry is extremely intense. That will affect the government's judgment.

Ralph Hake

These girls in middle school had a couple of opportunities to play against them as well. They had a reputation coming up through middle school. So, our girls are pretty familiar with them. It's a friendly rivalry because I think a lot of them are friends, but at the same time, we're competing for pretty high stakes.

Eric Shelton

Both schools agreed it was best to play the rivalry game on the final weekend to conclude the regular season.

Eric Hyman

There's always been a friendly rivalry between the two of us. This year, it was my goal to make the Olympic team, and I'm sure it was Brett's, too. For that to happen for both of us is rare.

Eric Camerota

I know that rivalry exists but I don't think it was an advantage for me. You shouldn't think of these things before a race.

Enrico Fabris

The rivalry wasn't as intense as it is now. The two [schools] used to be two purely academic schools. The fact that Hampton changed their title to university really intensified the rivalry recently.

Edward Hill

There's definitely a rivalry there. The kids feel it, and they play for it.

Alfred Sambu

I don't know that it's a rivalry -- it's a lot of support. We don't talk about one beating another. We kind of push each other to keep training.

Zach Schade

Since Ponderosa is such a big rivalry, we were just up for it. I was thinking about it all day. Obviously the environment was huge, so [the crowds] got the adrenaline going and got me going.

Zach Fraser
