Carolina Quotations | Page 5

That tells you North Carolina was indistinguishable from states without laws.

That's how our whole season has been going. No one wants to give us credit. I really don't think anyone wants to see us here. This is the same thing that was said when the Washington Redskins came to play us, as well as the Carolina Panthers, that we didn't have a chance.

You wouldn't have thought it would have spread out quite this much, as far as just how few drivers are from North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. We still have some, but the majority are spaced out throughout the United States. I think it's just a credit to the sport and how much it's grown.

You would hope this would also give us a chance to schedule more I-A teams. Now that South Carolina has broken the ice for us, hopefully we can get one of these a year.

You play Carolina in front of a great crowd, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Of course it's disappointing to lose by 20-something. Personally, I think it should be easy to bounce back. This was really embarrassing.

This is really unbelievable what Carolina has done to this Chicago defense. They have made the defense look very average here tonight.

The Upstate of South Carolina has an excellent engineering resource base that will allow us to continue growing our business and meeting our customers' expectations.

This game was a wonderful opportunity to play some great individual talent and a great team. We did some good things tonight but we also made some mistakes. Good teams will make you pay for those mistakes and North Carolina did. Overall I'm very pleased with the effort. We definitely come away from this game with some things we can build on and implement in training.

This game is a physical game, especially this time of year. Carolina has been the puncher for most of the time, they line up and punch people in the mouth. Today, we took their push and we swung back, and our punches were definitely stronger.

This deal gets Bank of North Carolina closer in asset size to some of its $1 billion peers in the Triad.

Thirty-one states have a 211 presence, but until 100 percent of North Carolina and 100 percent of the country is involved, we haven't finished our job,

This is a big game. Division games to me are the most important. Those division games, you've got to get one back just to get to even. We beat Carolina (in the opener). And it will be good if we can stay here and win this. Then we still have Tampa twice and Atlanta and Carolina again. So the games that we need to win are ahead of us.

This is 90,000 square miles, and it's hard to get your arms around it. Eastern North Carolina was underwater in 1999, but this is three times what we went through.

They understand the competitiveness you have to have. I told them that, in 1982, North Carolina won the championship and we won the first game by blowing out James Madison 52-50.

All of Eastern North Carolina is in a state of transition. We're adapting to changes in industry and needs. It will probably take a generation or two before we get there.

A lot of people will want to live there because their children's grandparents live across the street at Sun City Carolina Lakes.

Almost all the refiners are now putting marketers on allocation east of the Rocky Mountains. Some terminals in Ohio, Tennessee, Arkansas and South Carolina are completely out of product. It's just a very precarious situation we're in.

This potentially is the worst agricultural damage that eastern North Carolina has ever faced.

There will be adequate staffing in place when we beat the Carolina Panthers.

There were over 1,000 deaths in South Carolina in 2004. That means there were 1,000 families torn apart like my family. It is just too many.

This legislation puts a sword and a shield in the hands of the average South Carolina citizen and gives that person an opportunity to fight City Hall successfully when City Hall is acting ... in a way that is not American.

This is a very winnable game for us, but so was the South Carolina game. I really think this one is going to be a dogfight.

They play really hard. I saw them against South Carolina on TV, and it won't be easy. We've got to stay humble and be hungry.

At first I didn't know where North Carolina was on the map. I didn't know if it was by New York. Everyone just laughed. A couple players from Canada let me borrow some sweaters.

As kids, we did look at Tennessee and they were the dominant team. But now, North Carolina has come up.

At Duke, they played great and we played bad. At times, North Carolina overwhelmed us with their speed and quickness.

A big, big factor in South Carolina 's favor. They do a great job of forcing turnovers and making assists. Didn't happen today.

It's just a fantastic way to end our spring season up. We had a huge advantage. They played (Saturday), played North Carolina and played a tough match.

It's a truly historic event. There's a need for North Carolina to have in the 21st century a true Mecca port. It takes a piece of property of this size to achieve that.

It was fun. I was like wow, this is crazy. I never experienced anything like that. After I took all my visits I realized North Carolina was the place for me to be.

It was a wonderful event and a great way to create synergy with other North Carolina theaters.

It was a very brutal stretch. However, we took some steps forward in this stretch. We played Maryland at home to an overtime game and played North Carolina fairly close. We were able to make some big strides, and we weren't overmatched against North Carolina, we just made some errors that really hurt us. I was very proud of our effort.

It was at North Carolina State, it was an early game and it didn't feel like I thought it would. There wasn't a lot of media and not a lot of crowd.

It's about time. We have had games like Vermont, Nebraska and South Carolina where we've played teams to the last few possessions in our own building, and with the kind of fan support we have they deserve a game like this. For the fans that stuck with us and are really behind u, that was for them.

I told her her team's victory over North Carolina was much bigger than ours.

It's a huge road trip. South Carolina is a great overall team with some even greater players.

I told the guys after the North Carolina game that this is a big win and I'm happy for you. But we've got to enjoy it today and focus on Clemson. That's the most important game on the schedule because it's the next game on the schedule, and you have to protect your home court.

It's truly a Carolina family when you are down there.

It's not really that frustrating. We'd always want to have Davis Love here. It's his golf course, he's a North Carolina guy, but beyond that, we just want Davis to be healthy.

It's the SEC. You can't take a day off and you can't slack off and that shows. Against South Carolina and Auburn (both double-digit losses) we didn't have that same intensity as we did against Tennessee and LSU. You have to come out ready to go on game day. If you don't you're going to lose.

It's the biggest thing that's happened in North Carolina in quite awhile,

It makes too much sense for our cities to market themselves as one to the rest of the country. Think of how the Carolina Panthers first began marketing themselves. They weren't the Charlotte Panthers. Now they draw from the whole state and South Carolina.

It's an important moment for South Carolina and for the charter movement nationally.

It's good news for South Carolina parents and for South Carolina tourism.

David gives us guidance. We had a clear-cut 10 years ago. We had nine bids from $60,000 to almost $200,000. If we had just gone in the middle, say $100,000, you see how much money we would have lost. I wouldn't think about making a timber sale without a forester. I would say that's the biggest benefit. You get good, free advice from the North Carolina Forest Service, too.

The North Carolina people have been here basically from the very beginning. They have helped so many. I can't even tell you how many people. You can't comprehend unless you see it with your own eyes.

Everybody at South Carolina sends our hearts and prayers to the victims there in the Gulf Coast states. Our football game is not really all that important compared to the devastation that these people have suffered.

Everyone is in competition with one another. We want to give you a reason to make Carolina Place the mall of choice.

The best part that gets hidden in the whole picture is that he graduated in four years. North Carolina gave him an opportunity and they certainly benefited from him. What he did in the classroom is something for the other kids to think about.

The beauty of where I'm from - this small little town called Wallburg, North Carolina - I didn't have a TV; I was out playing ball with my dad, shooting clay pigeons.

Talking to Scotty (Stevens), he has kids and he enjoyed taking his son Ryan to football practice. I could hear it in his voice. I know that Ron Francis has a huge estate in Carolina and he loves it. Those guys never had a chance to take a year off before and they got used to it.

It's important, I think, that we know about this site because many people in North Carolina don't even realize there was a prison camp in Salisbury. It's important that we look back and understand the conditions that these prisoners were faced with.

It's important in our Lottery Commission appointments that we appoint the folks with the highest moral character, ... I don't want North Carolina to be a place where the lottery turns out to be a major problem.

It's always tough to go on the road and win. East Carolina is a very difficult place to play. They have one of the great environments in college basketball.

It's hard. But, as I told our guys, North Carolina doesn't pay the bills, and I have a strong loyalty to these guys that we recruited and coached. These guys have worked their tails off.

It's definitely something that you need to overcome. My focus needed to be on the Carolina Hurricanes because we were down 2-1 and we needed a big win. That was my main focus tonight.

It's important to show the people of Wilson County and eastern North Carolina that we're not going to tolerate this sort of thing.

It was a great effort by our team, ... We had the lead in Carolina and we found a way to lose that game a couple of nights ago. We were in the same situation tonight and I think we played a pretty strong game for 60 minutes. It was a huge win for us here in Ottawa.

I've heard some wild stories that Duke didn't like it because they were booed by our fans when they went down there (to Charlotte) to work out. Maybe somebody didn't like that. I don't know. I hope that's not the case. I would hope that would not influence the procedure. You hear all kinds of crazy things when Duke and Carolina are involved. I would hope that doesn't have anything to do with it.

Noise surrounding their activity here in North Carolina is just that, as far as I can tell. Until such time as they can be precluded for any reasons, they're a legitimate bidder.

It was a good win. Coming down here to Carolina you always know it's going to be a hard game.

It's what I learned while playing at North Carolina and coaching. You have to have systems in place that demand excellence and accountability.

I want to go to a bowl. They want to go to a bowl. They can do the math. But we're not saying we just want to win two out of the four. We want to win all four of them. You start with your next game, which is the South Carolina game, so that's the game we're going to try to win first.

I want to build upon the recruiting success we had last year, and Dave Brock is the best person to lead our staff. His style and work ethic made quite an impression during his first season and he brings fresh ideas that will only improve our recruiting efforts both locally in North Carolina and nationally.

I wanted to send the car back to North Carolina intact and we did that, ... I finished 30th, which is where I finished here last year. I ran a lot of laps and really feel like I learned a lot this weekend.

I want to be the first team in the state of North Carolina to win a national championship in football. People say I must be nuts. Well, maybe I am. ... We all have goals. Why wouldn't they be the highest?

It truly doesn't matter. We know both teams well. It's a little bit like a backyard brawl whether it's Carolina or Maryland. It's going to be a great game.

It takes a little time to get crews in to inspect the track. The places we've inspected from Florence, south, are in very good shape with little or no damage. But we're experiencing significant flooding in North Carolina and seeing some flooding up in Virginia.

It will be my maiden voyage, so to speak. I'll be doing South Carolina later but this will be my first.

It was good to get them under our belt. North Carolina wasn't really a close match. We owed them a little revenge there because we lost to them earlier in the year, so it was a big win.

They both know and respect each other a lot. Bullins is Mr. Wrestling in North Carolina and I know a lot of people, including myself, are happy for his accomplishments. Austin has a great opportunity if he reaches the finals. If you want to be a champion, then I think it'd be great to say you beat the very best. And Bullins is that guy.

They couldn't run the football. Their only touchdown came on a blown coverage by the Carolina Panthers. Everybody questioned what would happen without Charlie Weis and if this is any indicator of it, it is going to be a tough season. Tom Brady at the Super Bowl was talking about it last year with us privately before the game and he was nervous about it. You could clearly tell that he was worried about going into this season without Charlie Weis.

They were the aggressor all night long. You can't beat Carolina by committing 29 turnovers. They're probably the most athletic team in the country. We just didn't handle them very well.

They made every catch, every dribble, every pass an adventure for us and put us on our heels. The defensive effort by North Carolina was extraordinary.

It was a fun game to watch even as a coach. I thought I was watching Duke/North Carolina there for a little while. Both teams shot the ball unbelievable.

This is a very competitive award, and it's an honor to be among the finalists. Carolina First Bank is delighted to help recognize these high-achieving schools.

This is Connecticut basketball. After suffering the embarrassment of the North Carolina game, it came to a point where we felt like we needed to win. You get tired of leaving the gym crying because you wished you played harder. We came together and won.

Not only the county, but the state of South Carolina has lost a great man. I always called him Grady instead of Dad. People always got a kick out of that.

The NBA is definitely a goal of mine down the line, but right now I am enjoying college a great deal and feel I can improve in every phase of my game. I enjoy school, my teammates and being part of the Carolina basketball program.

After that, we hope a 'pipeline' of teams from North Carolina will be able to travel to the Gulf area to help with recovery and rebuilding ministries,

Against a great team like Carolina you have to make the most of your chances and we certainly did that tonight.

After the South Carolina game I thought we had a chance to have a really special team. I thought we had a chance to really leapfrog forward.

It's not a surprising thing. People have been saying all year that North Carolina is better, that North Carolina has the most talented players.
