Carolina Quotations | Page 6

Snow and ice have pelted South Carolina for a week now, ... It's clear this unusual run of winter storms is causing unexpected problems.

At the same time, we've already started with Seattle and the conversations will continue (Monday) and we told them if it's correct, it's correct. But if it's not, we're going to play the field. If Carolina comes correct or Arizona, or whoever else it could be, Jacksonville, whoever, that is what it is.

Arizona and North Carolina are if not the two best programs then at least in the top five in NCAA history. It's going to be a game of history with coach Olson and Roy Williams.

The interest (in South Carolina ports) is from Jasper, the port community and the people of Georgia, ... It's not that important to the people of South Carolina across the board. That's probably why you see (Sanford) less engaged.

I'm down to FSU and South Carolina now. It'll be a tough choice, and I honestly don't think I'll decide until the last second.

I'm glad that I went to North Carolina State because we didn't win a lot of ballgames, we didn't win any national championships. We lost three or four straight, but you still had to come out and work and play and believe in your teammates. The same approach I took in college is the same approach that I have taken now.

I'm glad our offer of privatization as an option for all 4-year state-supported colleges and universities in South Carolina has stirred the pot a bit.

I kind of think his knowledge of what it's going to take, what we need to do, are going to hopefully pay dividends for us. But we realize Carolina has been in the same position that we have, maybe a couple more times than us. ... It's going to be a great game. There's two coaches and two great teams that are going to be pitted against each other.

I just want North Carolina to keep him where he is at for killing my sister and the other women,

I love him; he's a Carolina guy. And I know he's about the right thing. But he screams just a little bit too much for me. The ones that are able to deal with the screaming, up and down the court, will do fine. The ones that won't will probably be like me - somewhere else.

I love it when the media continues to hype up the Carolina schools. This team is motivated by any challenge you give them, and they definitely responded.

I'm sure South Carolina is going to come out playing hard tomorrow. They have a chance to get an NCAA tournament bid and win an SEC championship. I don't know how much fatigue will be a factor.

In a nutshell, North Carolina has aged voting equipment, most of which is made by 1990s standards or older.

I know we've got a lot of South Carolina historians around here, but when was the last time South Carolina was tied at halftime and beat the opponent 34-6 in the second half? ... Who knows?

I know the potential there at the University. In my opinion, they've got the right guy leading that program right now, and I want to be a part of that. When South Carolina wins their first Southeastern Conference championship, I want to be on the field.

I like going to new environments. I'm so accustomed to going to Duke, Carolina and Kentucky, and those are phenomenal. But it's nice going to new places.

I'm proud of where I came from. There are so many people from North Carolina who have wished me well. It means a lot that so many people who have had so much influence on my life are watching now.

I'm reading where the Colonial Pipeline, which brings product from that area up to North Carolina and up the coast, it's shut down because of loss of product, ... That means some of these terminals where we pick up could possibly be out. Major and independent refineries have passed on anywhere from 10-cent to 30-cent increases in the last 36 hours.

I'm from South Carolina and there's not much stuff to do and bowling is like at the top of the totem pole there.

I'm sorry, man. That's my boy. He's a Carolina bird dog just like me. We're from the same neck of the woods. I feel bad about that. He's the big dog. I don't want to get traded.

If North Carolina State offers him $2 million, I think John should interview there because he's not going to get $2 million here. That would be outrageous.

I never really thought I could be with another team. But it was neat to be with the Carolina guys.

I need to learn more tactics, cranking, Carolina rigging and other things. American lakes are much bigger than the lakes in Japan. The lakes here take a lot of time to learn. They have a lot of different kinds of structure, cover and wood, stuff that doesn't exist there. There, you just fish deep structure.

I'm taking a pretty big crew of ladies; we've got some pretty tough competition down there in Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, South Carolina and Georgia Tech. It will be highly competitive for our kids, so I'm anxious and looking forward to it.

If Sanford fails to call for property tax reform in the State of the State address Wednesday, the property taxpayers of South Carolina will understand that he is intentionally snubbing the wishes of the people.

If you asked us after the North Carolina game (loss in December) if we would get to this point, nobody would have believed it. But we all worked so hard to get here.

In South Carolina they use metal wands. They give you a Breathalyzer and they take a metal wand and they go over you.

In North Carolina, cockfighting is a first-offense felony, so now they are coming to South Carolina to cockfights.

In routing the tour, there was a spot for Virginia and the Carolinas. I was asked for my opinion, and rather than seeing it go to Carolina or Clemson, I suggested UVA.

I love my staff and my team, and we're going to have a good time and continue to play Carolina basketball. A lot of people are saying to me, 'You all look like you're having fun,' and we are. We try to smile and enjoy the experience that we're having.

I look at that as a strong asset. He was a big reason South Carolina State had a very successful season, especially on the offensive side of the ball. He will also be an asset to us in recruiting.

I'll watch the game and root for Coach Spurrier every day of the week until the one day he plays Florida. I'm a Gator and I have no split allegiance when it comes to that. The University of Florida is my school and I hope they pound South Carolina when they play them.

I know Florida State is probably as fast as anyone in the country. I've played against some of the better teams with a lot of overall speed, like Oklahoma, Kansas State and USC. And I definitely think North Carolina will be similar.

I know everybody wanted to see that because Duke and North Carolina go way back, but we're the new team in the league and we're playing to win this thing, we're not going to give it up to anybody.

I just had a gut feeling that South Carolina was the place for me.

I heard somewhere that maybe one or two people doubted the capacity of East Carolina University to achieve that great status. It's hard for me to believe that anyone would have doubted us, but I think the record speaks for itself.

It helps that I'm familiar with a lot of things Carolina does. I don't know if it'll help on the court.

I picked Carolina at the beginning of the season to get to the Super Bowl. Seattle does not impress me.

Clearly, a utility bill or a rental bill is not proof of citizenship. It proves you have electricity or somewhere to live. The concern from the citizens of North Carolina is (the right to vote is) being compromised.

Be careful how you phrase that. I'm not surprised how he's playing and I didn't want to let him go. I wanted him to stay, but he was given a fabulous contract by Carolina and so he did what was best for he and his family.

His future is ahead of him. This summer he went to Indiana and South Carolina and Missouri and everywhere, and just kind of committed to playing and getting better.

Hilton Head is not only just a South Carolina favorite, it's a world favorite, golf destination known around the world. That really got a lot of people's attention.

How can the Jackets follow their opening thriller at Auburn by giving North Carolina even the hint of shocking Tech for the second consecutive season?

I don't know if you saw the North Carolina game. We were down 16-2 in that one. We just had to regroup, keep our poise and come back.

I didn't think the crowd affected our free-throw shooting or (that) the crowd affected the way we played. It was just North Carolina fans who love their team and wanted to come and support them. I wish one day we have that.

I didn't play very well in the Carolina game. Those penalties I had were stuff I can control. I need to work hard and improve on that. It's just mental focus. I have to focus better and hopefully those things won't happen.

Hopefully he'll ask good questions and listen carefully to the other leaders at the table so South Carolina can move forward again.

Georgia will find very little sympathy in coastal South Carolina for the costs it must incur to correct its reliance on an unsustainable resource.

Good thing he didn't accost the Coastal Carolina Chanticleer. In addition to a possible assault charge, he could have been hit with a personal fowl.

If I can run a positive campaign and talk about what I believe are important things for North Carolina to do -- and if I think I can win -- then I'll probably take the plunge,

If Hispanics do not come, South Carolina doesn't eat and America doesn't eat because Americans don't want to do this type of work.

I definitely think this helps put Tennessee on the map. The bigger states like Texas and North Carolina get all the exposure because they have the better players.

I certainly would have done it for a dollar, because I believe in South Carolina that much. There's a different level of accountability when you take it to full-time.

I couldn't go to South Carolina because the media had staked out my parents' house, so they encouraged me through long-distance phone calls.

I'd say the biggest thing is his work ethic. He has turned himself into a different pitcher over the last year. Before this summer, I don't think he had lifted weight in his life. Coastal Carolina gave him a weight program and Daniel got himself into great shape.

I'd say late in the game, probably (ex-North Carolina guard) Raymond Felton last year.

I doubt seriously he'll see South Carolina alive again, ... I would hope that they would charge him with a capital offense, and I would hope that they would carry it out.

I applaud the president's choice of Dan Reed as a member of PCAST. He brings a broad range of knowledge and experience to the job and will be a strong voice for North Carolina as the council develops national priorities for research, education and IT development.

I believe my experience in the private sector and the public sector has truly prepared me to lead North Carolina into the 21st century.

If eastern North Carolina were a state, we would rank 50th overall in health status in the nation.

I don't think we had any idea we were getting what we got. I don't think anybody in North Carolina knew he'd be what he developed into.

Carolina would be good any game, really, because they're a good team. Two years ago they were in the Super Bowl and if it hadn't been for the injuries last year they might have been back again. We will find out a little about who we are with them coming in here.

He put a lot of pressure on himself last year when Carolina started making those changes. He just kept adding to the pile there and he put too much pressure on himself to try to do everything. He came here and after awhile he just played his game and was very, very effective for us.

For them to beat Carolina in Carolina says a lot about their team and their character. Now they've got the Monday night stage. We've just got to come out and match their intensity because if we don't, those guys are going to play all four quarters.

When I started at [Nina] Ricci, I did street wear for very cool, young girls but the price point was for the fourth floor of Bergdorf Goodman next to Carolina Herrera. My cool girls cannot afford it.

The unemployment rate is likely to hang around 4.5 percent and finish the year somewhere near 4 percent. That would mean that North Carolina would be back in the familiar position of having an unemployment rate below that of the nation.

These are people who've lived here 20 to 25 years. They're going to Arizona, North Carolina and Central America, seeking no hurricanes.

This is a great step for the South Carolina horse industry.

You've got to give East Carolina credit. They fought us off and made shots tonight. On defense they played a zone, and I thought they did a good job with that.

And I see that developing. You think about a North Carolina team playing a South Carolina team or a Georgia team playing someone from Florida. That would draw a big crowd and a lot of TV exposure.

The goalies will compete all preseason to determine the starter against North Carolina in the season opener. We feel comfortable with all three but certainly need one guy to seize the moment and take control of the defense for the season.

The East Carolina game was so bad I can't even stand to talk about it. It was just bad, but I learned and came back from it.

The forecast track is pointing towards North Carolina, but South Carolina is not out of the woods yet.

The first half and the second half were very different. We weren't rebounding and weren't playing very good defense. Once we started playing Carolina basketball we were OK.

All season long this team has played with a chip on their shoulder. They keep taking us for a heck of a ride. It was a tremendous game from both teams and the game plan was to hold North Carolina in the 70s.

The latest (tax) increase means North Carolina now has the sixth-highest gasoline tax in the nation at 29.9 cents a gallon and that North Carolina motorists will pay more in gasoline taxes than ever before in their history.

The leadership of the North Carolina Senate feels very strongly that they both go, or no go.

The lottery has become the white noise of society. It doesn't stand out as it once would have. As long as people here keep the lottery cool and don't offend the North Carolina sensibility as long as it doesn't get tacky I think it'll come off fairly well here.

The Merchants of Carolina, are fair, frank Traders.

Mullets are still going strong in the south and places like St Louis or the Carolinas.
