We always have to respect our opponent. Our guys found out early in the game that they can't take anyone lightly.

Joe Papin

It's more than hitting hard; you have to find what the opponent can and cannot do and exploit that. I see them in the last three or four months as more accepting of my coaching.

Mac Gifford

They all seem to be big games. We've just got to keep winning, it doesn't matter who the opponent is. We've got to keep our foot on the gas.

Peter Laviolette

There are some people who were doubting how good Gregg really is. For him to win like that in the last second against a good opponent, that just shows he's where he needs to be.

Mike Semar

We had the tempo the way we wanted it. It was a great win against a great opponent.

Jeff Bzdelik

You have to make lots of birdies and give your opponent no chance.

Michelle Wie

He just never missed anything. It starts to wear on you after awhile, but that's what you have to do in match play — wear your opponent down.

Greg Helstrom

Our handicaps depend on how many innings, how many defeats and who the opponent is. It takes a lot more into account, so it's a lot more competitive.

John Amelsberg

There are times he gets mad. As an opponent, you don't want to see that because when he gets mad he plays at another level. If you make him mad his focus really sets in, especially at the end of games.

Travis Diener

All of the guys are capable of beating me. If I wrestle up to my potential, I am capable of beating any opponent.

Dave Connolly

I must say I was more calm on 2-1. We suffered a lot, but we strongly wanted to qualify and we did it by beating a brave opponent.

Carlo Ancelotti

You can't read too much into the common opponent thing though. Lots of crazy things happen at state.

Andy Kerley

I certainly believe we'll find an opponent.

Henry Wojtaszek

He told the governor, 'I'm going to help you get the lottery,' and he worked it out. He's not a big lottery advocate. He's not a big lottery opponent. But he worked it out.

Ferrel Guillory

It is important to play our game and not underestimate our opponent. We play because we love the game, we need to show that love.

Bridget Grall

Charlie Crist continues to lead the race for governor by every measure. While our opponent choose to engage in negative attacks as he did against Jeb Bush (in the 1994 governor's race), Charlie Crist will continue to campaign on the issues.

Vivian Myrtetus

We're not in that mind-set here. Bill is running for governor and he has a primary opponent in (Rep.) Gary Lindstrom. That's the first hurdle.

Evan Dreyer

In every game, a good opponent is going to make a run. We knew it was up to us to clamp down on defense and get the stops we needed.

Essence Carson

The money Ms. Rice raised allowed the campaign to air more ads than our opponent in the closing days, when people are paying most attention.

Eric Phillips

We're going to play whatever gives us the best chance to win. So if it's 3-4, 4-3, 2-6, whatever it is, if it's going to help us beat our opponent that's what we're going to play.

Eric Mangini

Everybody knows when I'm in a fight, I'm trying to knock my opponent out. I have a lot of respect for Cabbage because he fights the same way. That's why this is such an exciting fight.

Eric Esch

We're just happy with the win. It's a good non-conference and district opponent. That kind of gives us a good feeling, but we can't allow a third-quarter letdown.

Ed Marietti

I never think that there's something I can't do, whether it's beating my opponent one on one or practicing another hour because something about my game is just not right.

Earvin Magic Johnson

It's a good issue to define your opponent. If your opponent is for flag burning, he's got to go through a very sophisticated explanation.
