“We were always playing against each other and we used to have intense rivalries, especially back in basketball where we used to get after it. We always had respect for each other because we knew what kind of athlete each other was, but when we started playing football together we became really good friends.”
Corey Moran
“I wish we played every team, but I understand that playing a lot against your division builds rivalries.”
Jeff Halpern
“It's a good rivalry. It's intense every time we play. It's good for basketball as long as it doesn't get out of control.”
Kenyon Martin
“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
“There's enough in this rivalry. We're more worried about getting our team ready to play. That (incident) won't be an issue.”
Tom Izzo
“My biggest concern was that we would not play our best game because of the rivalry. Obviously, Heritage played well and made some good adjustments in the second half to slow us down, but we'll take the win.”
Mike Campbell
“The rivalry between the Cubs and the White Sox, as soon as you take the field, you try to play better against them. I know this is a big deal for Chicago fans.”
