“We're going to have a tough road. If we get Knoxville, we have to play a team we have beaten twice this season. It is never easy to beat a team three times, especially a team as physical as Knoxville. And if we play them, it will be on their own floor.”
Chuck Grant
“Knoxville brought a tough team to town last night and we wrestled the best we could under the circumstances. There were some very high points for us and we made some big strides in a few weight classes. A few of our boys still need to learn better position and mat sense, but that comes with time. Time is running short for this year, but I believe we are seeing things at this stage of the season that were not here last year.”
Chad Vollmecke
“We'd been working on it since we played them in Knoxville. But we hadn't used it.”
Pat Summitt
“[It was July of 2003 when Carpenter wondered about his future.] I threw a Double-A game in Knoxville, Tenn., right before the all-star break and I couldn't play catch, ... I just wanted to go home, my arm hurt really bad, I knew there was something wrong.”
Chris Carpenter
“We could go anywhere we needed to go. I grew up in Knoxville on the half-miles and Sioux Falls on the quarter-miles and I love these quarter-miles as well as the half-miles, but when you've got a car working like this it's like, 'Holy cow it's fun to race.'”
Danny Lasoski
“It's not terribly unusual. The southeast Tennessee seismic zone, which actually extends from that area up toward Knoxville, is probably the second most active area in the Eastern United States.”
Tim Long
“I want to thank everybody for coming out. I think Odessa is way better than Knoxville.”
