I'll be on tenterhooks, as all Memphis fans will be, as I watch the game tonight with friends. Here are some sporting quotes to mull over in the run up to the game:
Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. -John Wooden
There are only two options regarding commitment; you're either in or you're out. There's no such thing as life in-between. -Pat Riley
Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do...but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there. - Venus Williams
The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. -Vince Lombardi
Everybody pulls for David, nobody roots for Goliath. - Wilt Chamberlain
I always turn to the sports section first. The sports page records people's accomplishments; the front page has nothing but man's failures. -Earl Warren
If you aren't going all the way, why go at all? -Joe Namath
I wanted to have a career in sports when I was young, but I had to give it up. I'm only six feet tall, so I couldn't play basketball. I'm only 190 pounds, so I couldn't play football. And I have 20-20 vision, so I couldn't be a referee. -Jay Leno
I gave my players a version of the same message at ten-to-three every Saturday: 'I would shoot my granny right now for three points this afternoon.' They knew how important it was to give everything in the cause of victory. Every time. That's why my granny enjoyed more lives than my cat. - Brian Clough

Great quotes. Vince Lombardi always has the best in my opinion.
Isn't it funny how these "sports" quotes translate to real life too?
