QUOTES OF THE DAY
“My favorite part about it all was that they were all different types of goals. There’s not one trademark you could look at and say ‘that’s a Vanderbilt attacking style.’ It was different every single time we attacked.” — Soccer head coach Ronnie Woodard on the Commodores’ 5-1 win over UAB Friday night. (Source: VUcommodores.com)
“It’s probably the best back-to-back ball striking rounds I’ve had in awhile. It’s nice to see that come together. Gives me a lot of hope for the weekend. I feel like putting has been a little bit off the first few days from where it normally is. I’m right there where I should be. Hopefully I can keep that going through the weekend and work on my putting a little bit this afternoon and come out tomorrow and make a lot of putts.” — Brandt Snedeker, who is tied for the lead at 12-under 128 after two rounds of the PGA’s Wyndham Championship (Source: PGAtour.com)
