Approximate quips (i am not a reporter and i didn't have a tape
recorder, so these may not be verbatim)

Coach Serratore Quips
	[ name deleted ] played in the AHA and regional with mono. I
	should have told to opposing coaches to try to get him more
	room.

	When a team jells it is like a self licking ice creme cone

	(to seniors) when i was out recruiting you, i tried to sell
	you guys a dream and you bought it

	when a ncaa briefing at the regional was running long and they
	needed to talk about TV time outs and the briefer said, "all
	of you've been here before, i don't have to go over this" that
	made him feel good.

Eric Ehn Quips
	Tolls (SID dave toller) would give me note cards for press
	conferences so i'd know what to say. I guess he learned to do
	that dealing with the football team.

	All are games are home games.  There's an air force base near
	every place we play, and blue line club members at all our games.

	One player (didn't catch the name) has 28 NCAA tournament hats
	cuz they wouldn't fit anybody else

Bryan Becker Quips
	(to trainer) Thanks for the rehab, the surgery didn't ruin my
	golf swing

	(to an underclassman) Thanks for coming in and taking my spot
