Asking Quotes
A lot of people have been asking me when we would retire her number ever since she left high school. I told them, 'Let's wait at least until she is done playing at Penn State.' She has done so much for West Mifflin. If I had to list everything, then the girls game would never be played because I would still be talking.
-
Boys Quotes
The more the second half wore on, the more we decided to consolidate what we had. That doesn't mean we dropped back, but when we got possession, we limited some of what we tried to do. Grow was in goal. He came out and cleared some things with a punch and a catch in the second half and their was one scramble in the goal mouth, but the boys absorbed whatever came their way. Penn State was frustrated all day.
-
Approach Quotes
It was clear that she was not willing to relinquish control over this group. Students rarely have an outlet for unified voice, and they have no true power in their own university. I think her reaction was indicative of a systematic approach at Penn State, which denies student autonomy over their own university.
-
Coming Quotes
It's more of what our season this year had. I think last year is in the past. You don't really think about it too much. I think we're more focused on (The fact) we lost to Penn State at home. We're more focused on coming off a loss and coming off a bye week and just staying in the race for the Big Ten championship.
-
Atmosphere Quotes
The atmosphere is far most positive because of the results. La Salle has an unbelievable basketball tradition. Our other peers in the city, St. Joe's, Temple, Penn and Villanova, have consistently been strong. We've had an inferiority complex with seeing our peers being in the postseason every year. There's really been a resurgence of pride that La Salle can get back to where we were in the past, which is a prominent program.
-
Background Quotes
It looked like it was Florida, Florida State and maybe Oklahoma. In the background was Penn State. And I remember thinking he's going to head south. If you like to throw and catch the ball, head south where the weather is good. I thought he would end up coming down our way. But he went to Penn State.
-
Couple Quotes
The last couple months have been game-planning for this experience. It's a strenuous experience, because it's really on you to perform. The way it was before, I was playing for my family at Penn State. And I will always be representing Penn State, but now, I also have a responsibility to my family, and my future family, so that keeps me thinking about the responsibility.
-
Actively Quotes
I'm not out there actively recruiting all over the country. But there are students who want to go to Penn State who may not be able to get on the main campus right away. Or they may want to play basketball and see we're doing OK, so they inquire about us. I just got a call from a kid from Arizona who wants to come here.

Against Quotes
The meet this weekend with Illinois will be an important one for our season. It is our senior meet and our last home competition of the year. This group of seniors is very special to me. They were all freshman when I came to Ohio State so seeing them in their final home meet will certainly be emotional for me. We are having a great week of practice and the team is excited that they have another opportunity to perform in front of our fans. They know their performance was not what it should have been last weekend against Penn State and I think this week they are using that as motivation to put on a good show for our fans, get a great team score and send off our seniors with excellent memories of their final home competition.
