"Understanding how important slotting is to top draft picks in terms of who got what . . . and how they fall into place, this is really a timing issue,"
Quote by -Nick Saban
"We were recruiting a player who had a coach from another school using the NFL as a negative about our program, ... The player said to him -- and I'm not making this up -- 'If the coach of your school is so good, why aren't they trying to hire him in the NFL?'"
Quote by -Nick Saban
"I am so happy for Ricky. He has played a great role for this team all year. He has been unselfish and has been a really good team guy."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"One of the most difficult parts of my job is having to release players, and the past week has emphasized this fact. This is especially true when those players made significant contributions to the success of the team in the past. Ideally, we would like to keep many of those players on our roster, but we are simply not able to do that."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"The Pac-10 obviously did pretty well against the SEC this past week, ... Our players need to be aware of that and know that our league is nationally-known and when we go play places people are anxious to play us."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"We want to support every player, and I think every player knows he has a responsibility for what to do and what not to do. As a coach, I also feel a responsibility to put a player in the best situation possible so he can have success."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"But what does it really mean? ... What are you trying to get from it? Basically, what you're trying to do is push people to a limit, not [to] ever harm them in any way, and get them to manage the 'bottom half,' the hard part of it that we all have to deal with in our life."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"We didn't get any information back, so I can't really report what the [problem] is with him, what the issue is, what we'll have to do to deal with that, if anything, in the future,"
Quote by -Nick Saban
"We don't have to have a reason to bring anybody in. Sometimes, you have to gather information (in case) we need to."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"Personally, I hate to release any of the guys. I feel like this is our team. These guys have been here. They've worked hard. They've all made a tremendous commitment and sacrifice to trying to make the team. I have a lot of respect for what they've tried to do and feel badly that every guy can't, maybe, realize his dreams."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"It's safe to say he's going to be out for, probably, a couple of games, I don't know."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"It's been wonderful. I really do feel like this was coming home to play a game and it was exciting for me even though I didn't say it (earlier). It was exciting to be back in Tiger Stadium and I feel really great that our team did a nice job to make us proud of how they played."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"When you're talking about this position, you'd like to really know what a guy's football intuition, instinct and knowledge is and what the capacity for those things are. That's probably as big of a reason [for the visit]. We'd just like to get to know him."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"It's not the kind of football I like to see from our team. We'll work hard to try to get it fixed. There is no excuse for it. We dropped balls, we didn't execute, we didn't play with the kind of urgency and intensity that good teams play with. Everybody needs to decide what kind of team we're going to have."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"This is a great football game against a very good football team. A lot of character, a lot of heart out there today on both sides of the ball -- that's what makes it special, when you can persevere and come away with the win."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"I think that's a great example -- and those players know it who were involved -- that to play a game for 60 minutes, you've got to be disciplined and you never want to have undisciplined, unprovoked penalties like that. My advice is act like you've been there."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"We have to get the kind of execution at quarterback that will give it to them."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"He is one of the best quarterbacks in the country, and probably the best quarterback in the SEC. He makes good choices and decisions; they only have one turnover all year. ... He doesn't make a lot of bad plays."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"That's all bull, It's an excuse, and I'm not giving the players an excuse. You either have discipline or you don't. If we're going to give them a reason to fail all the time ... It's like my kid: `You got a D on the test? I don't want to hear about it.You didn't prepare well enough. You didn't have enough discipline to do what you had to do when you had to do it the way it was supposed to get done."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"There is no doubt that quarterback is a critical position in every organization. That really has to be something that we look at to make a good assessment on how we move ahead at that position. We like all of the quarterbacks that we have here, but if we get an opportunity to improve the quality at that position, we most certainly will."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"Just think of the consequences of those penalties. There were several third-down stops that gave them first downs with penalties. It's the consequences of it that everybody needs to understand."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"I think we still have a lot of areas we need to clean up and improve, and consistency is probably the big one. I don't think we're where we need to be or where we can be."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"I have total faith, trust and confidence in the guy, ... He's going to be a long-snapper for a long time in this league."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"It had been almost 30 years since the LPGA has played in Mexico. We are definitely looking forward to playing there next year and also coming back to play in Mexico in a month or so."
Quote by -Natalie Gulbis
"It's fun to come back to the town where I went to school and see all the new Wildcat players."
Quote by -Natalie Gulbis
"My 2005 calendar we actually did a shoot in Lake Las Vegas. Since I had requests do some swimwear and athletic shots we tried them and they came out good so we inserted them into the new calendar."
Quote by -Natalie Gulbis
"My first calendar was a combination of photos taken from different shoots including golf and casual."
Quote by -Natalie Gulbis
"I played with Annika today. I love being paired with her. She does not make many mental mistakes, and she has the ability to repeat her swing over and over and wears people down."
Quote by -Natalie Gulbis
"The advantage we have in the championship means that I can ride at each of the remaining six rounds without pressure to try to win every race,"
Quote by -Valentino Rossi
"Records are not the most important thing but I am very happy to have the same number of victories as 'Mike the Bike',"
Quote by -Valentino Rossi
"I always race to win, but last year it was like a motocross track and there was so much sand out there. I've got really bad memories of last year and you could say I have a score to settle with the circuit,"
Quote by -Valentino Rossi
"I am disappointed because I wanted to win the first race of the season but there is nothing we can do now. I'm looking forward to the next race in Qatar."
Quote by -Valentino Rossi
"I'm lucky because I don't feel too much pressure - it's only in the last hour before the race, and even then it's good, positive pressure."
Quote by -Valentino Rossi

Quote by -Valentino Rossi
"It was a fantastic race and my best race of the year by far. It was a battle between great riders and it was fantastic to win like this. I would like to say thank you to my team because the bike was very, very fast."
Quote by -Valentino Rossi
"I never saw him race but they tell me he was one of the best, maybe the best ever. I am now on the podium of all-time winners and this is a big pleasure for me."
