"Are you kidding me? We're sitting in the hotel room the night before, and we're saying, 'Just give me one win over Valpo, and we'll beat the shit out of Oral Roberts. Uh ... we'll beat the heck out of them. Thank goodness this is my last show."
-- Rich Zvosec, UMKC head coach, dreaming of beating Valpo and taking on an injured Oral Roberts team in the conference final, WHB 810
GH: This guy has what it takes to get this town behind the 'Roos. And he's got Michael Watson -- one of the most exciting players in the Midwest -- coming back the next two seasons.
"I wet the bed all the time. Is it really that unusual for a grown man to still wet the bed? That's why I sleep on top of a comforter. I dream that I'm standing in front of a urinal, and I just go."
-- Jason Whitlock, 810
"You've got to start drinking a lot of water. I drink a gallon and a half of water in under two minutes. It really gets the system moving and builds up your endurance and the capacity of your stomach."
-- Ed "Cookie" Jarvis, on how he trains to compete in Fox Sports' Glutton Bowl, KYYS 99.7
GH: Sounds like Jarvis and Whitlock ought to team up as bunk mates.
"Awesome. Charming. Gorgeous. Unreal. Inspiring. Mind-boggling. Stunning. Worth the price of hooky or scalpers. I'd come up with other descriptions of Haymarket Park, but I'm too busy gawking. There can't be a more beautiful or perfect ballpark in college baseball than the new digs christened finally by the Nebraska baseball team on Tuesday. This park is so fan-friendly it does everything but drive you home. Wait until the Big 12 coaches get a load of this. They'll be running to their athletic directors telling them about what their friend Dave [Van Horn] down the block got for Christmas."
-- Tom Shatel, columnist, Omaha World Herald
GH: The name of the street where Haymarket Park sits is Line Drive. This new park has to be on top of every area baseball fan's must-see list.
"You laugh at me, but Kansas City, you are going to be a NASCAR-and-bass-fishing town."
-- Bill Maas, on the possibility of the Royals' and Chiefs' eventually leaving KC, 810
