“This is kind a new (football) rivalry but you already see it in basketball and baseball.”
Chris Connolly
“Georgia and Clemson is one of the oldest rivalries in the country. It's a natural fit and one that we are delighted has worked out in a way that suits the schedules of both schools. Some of the greatest college football games have been played between Georgia and Clemson over the years, especially in the 1980's, and we think this will be very well received by both Georgia and Clemson fans.”
Damon Evans
“It couldn't happen any better, ... This is a Hollywood script. It's so good for baseball. It's great for the rivalry between New York and Boston. And there might be baseball Monday, you never know.”
Wade Boggs
“It's just good, clean football. It's a rivalry and all, but there's not that hate or anything like that. But being neighbor counties, we still want to beat them and they want to beat us.”
Greg Robinson
“The rivalry is one of the greatest in college football and having these teams showcase their talents in front of a national audience to kickoff the season is tremendous,”
John Swofford
“Skiing is primarily a recreational sport in this country. Football, you have all these teammates, the pressures, the rivalry, 80,000 people screaming, the motion, that thrill. I can't find that in skiing.”
Jeremy Bloom
“We feel we were the better side; we constructed the tries to win the football game. But this great rivalry between the two sides is there again, which is great.”
