“I have no idea what Ward Churchill will be doing on Columbus Day, but I imagine it will involve the full exercise of his rights under the First Amendment,”

“I told them no, because they were beat after having driven all the way from Columbus, and there was no way it would be fair to C.J. to have to do all that driving again, and then immediately go out and play. But I was so taken by their dedication and how much they were interested in UNLV. When I had an opening, I thought, 'Let's give this kid a chance.' He wanted it so much and was going to really extraordinary lengths to show it.”

“We had no business giving (Columbus) any life ... it cost us a point. Great teams find a way to keep leads and win especially at this point in the season.”
Chris Chelios
“The car ran real well at Columbus (Ohio) and Topeka (Kansas), ... We were No. 2 qualifier at Topeka and went to the finals there. We just haven't been as competitive since we hurt the motor at Chicago.”
Terry Adams
“Obviously, Gabe Willey has to come through and win matches at No. 1 and Steve Ward has to come up and win matches at the No. 2 spot. Obviously, the matches are going to be harder. But if those two players can step up moving to No. 2 to No. 1 from No. 3 to No. 2, respectively, then I think we'll be OK. I think they're ready for that challenge.”
Norm Bruemmer
“It's going to be impossible to replace Brandon Ward. We think Gabe (Willey) can fill in very nicely at No. 1, it just leaves us a hole somewhere in the singles lineup right now that we're trying to fill.”
“That's no disrespect to Columbus — there's a lot of great teams up there. But Southwest Ohio is just getting better and better. By going to Columbus, you don't have to see some teams three or four times.”
