Play Quotes

ZANY, n. A popular character in old Italian plays, who imitated with ludicrous incompetence the _buffone_, or clown, and was therefore the ape of an ape; for the clown himself imitated the serious characters of the play. The zany was progenitor to the specialist in humor, as we to-day have the unhappiness to know him. In the zany we see an example of creation; in the humorist, of transmission. Another excellent specimen of the modern zany is the curate, who apes the rector, who apes the bishop, who apes the archbishop, who apes the devil. - Ambrose Bierce

Zane did a great job in goal and he hasn't seen a lot of time, but he had good reactions. Our guys seem to have more energy today.

Zach's very limited as a basketball player. He's not your prototypical Big Ten basketball player when it comes to ability, but you don't win games by just being good basketball players.

Zach's leadership out there, the way he comes at the game and plays, it's going to be missed. I want Zach ... to get himself better because we need him. - Damion McIntosh

Zach sort of threw out his hand and didn't fully shake. I have never seen a penalty like that in my 25 years of coaching. We take a lot of pride in our sportsmanship, and Zach felt bad afterwards. I always tell my players that you get 50 percent of the calls and you lose 50 percent of the calls. It is just up to us to make sure the match is not decided by the referees. - Carl Adams

Zach responded like a focused athlete does. I was proud to see Zach respond to a loss in such a positive manner. It is tough to lose and come back to win in later rounds. Zach did a nice job and really proved he deserved to play in the No. 1 spot. - Scott Bethune
