Quote by -Valentino Rossi
"So, 11 victories is fantastic and always race in this track is different, is magic, ... I win a lot of times here, a lot of important races for my career and I love this track."
Quote by -Valentino Rossi
"For sure, this is a magic circuit for me, ... I have had some great, great battles here in the past."
Quote by -Valentino Rossi
"We still have quite a few problems with the vibration and this means that we can't use the bike to its full potential and make fast lap times. We've tried lots of changes to the set-up today - balance, suspension, but the problem remains. In some of the fast corners my speed is down by as much as 15 or 20kms. The good thing is that we're much better than yesterday and we've done some really good work within the team to make these improvements, but it's still not enough and some other riders are looking very strong."
Quote by -Valentino Rossi
"It's a fantastic track and if the bike is okay it's a great pleasure to ride."

Quote by -Valentino Rossi

Quote by -Denis Leary
"Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended."
Quote by -George Bernard Shaw
"We got in foul trouble and we had to massage those last four minutes of the first half. A lot of times, I'd let them go back in, but with (how) the pace of the game was going today, we couldn't chance starting the second half with either one of those guys in foul trouble."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"When my two freshmen are playing like that, it brings everybody together. They were playing with such enthusiasm. They have such good game personalities, that when they allow themselves to show it, we're just better."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"[But the Hall of Fame coach refused Friday to comment any further.] That has not been finalized yet, obviously because we haven't had a press conference or whatever, ... I've been in serious discussions, but it's not ready for an official announcement."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"It is a chance to represent the United States at this elite level of basketball. I am honored to be chosen and look forward to the opportunity to develop this team that will represent our great country in its own sport, both on and off the court."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"We weren't going to win the basketball game, the game was basically over, so why put those kids in harm's way? It's an unfortunate situation. I'll let the powers that be handle it in front of everybody."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"It's neat to coach a kid like that. Everyone knows he's going to take the three, and everyone knows he's going to make it."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"When I had troubles, I'd go out - with basketball, you can do it by yourself, too. So you'd go out and shoot, and you'd fantasize."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"I've tried to handle winning well, so that maybe we'll win again, but I've also tried to handle failure well. If those serve as good examples for teachers and kids, then I hope that would be a contribution I have made to sport. Not just basketball, but to sport."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"Once you win a National Championship, how do you do that again? How do you get the passion to do that again? We won it again right away, the next year. A lot of it had to do with the fact that I didn't give myself an opportunity to enjoy the first one."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"Playing sport was somewhat frivolous, but I liked it. I rebelled a little bit, and wouldn't go to music lessons and things like that, but I would go and play ball. My parents learned to love it because they saw how much I got out of it."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"That's another thing, we made up games. We didn't have equipment. When it snowed, we would play slow motion tackle football. We would play hockey, but we wouldn't skate. We just made things up. I loved doing that."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"That's what I do now: I lead and I teach. If we win basketball games from doing that, then that's great, but I lead and teach. Those are the two things I concentrate on."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"I had a really bad temper, when I was growing up. Sport helped me channel that temper into more positive acts."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"I have a rule on my team: when we talk to one another, we look each other right in the eye, because I think it's tough to lie to somebody. You give respect to somebody."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski

Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"I'm fortunate now that I coach at Duke University and we've won a lot. I have some kids who haven't failed that much. But when they get to college, they're going to fail some time. That's a thing that I can help them the most with."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski
"This is the first team we played all year that could really block shots like that. Their ability to block shots made us change some shots inside. And I don't know if we ever adjusted to that."
Quote by -Mike Krzyzewski

Quote by -Mark Dantonio

"It's not just another game, it's a huge game on our schedule. We'll measure our success as a football team against that game, and we always will."
Quote by -Mark Dantonio
"I firmly believe if we get that ball in there, it's a football game. I don't know if we were going to win, but it's a football game. ... We weren't the same team in the second half."
Quote by -Mark Dantonio
"You'll probably see him play three positions out there (today). That's something that's a positive for him. He's a football player, we just need to find him a role and allow him to grow into that role."
Quote by -Mark Dantonio
"It was very bad for our players. It had a tremendous impact on the game, huge. We're about to score, then they go 98 yards very quickly and it's 18-7 instead of us leading 14-12. I firmly believe that if we had gotten it in the end zone there it's a football game. I don't know if we would have won, but it's a game. Even at that, we were still in it at halftime. But we weren't the same team in the second half."
Quote by -Mark Dantonio
"Tony plays so hard and he is so smart. He is a winner who makes plays and has made himself a starter this spring."
Quote by -Mark Dantonio
"Tight end is a strength of this team and should be throughout this year, next year and the year after."
