Teams hated coming in proverb

 Teams hated coming in here playing on those hot summer days. Willie McGee, Vince Coleman, Tommy [Herr], Whitey managing us -- it was a great time.

 Obviously, he's not Willie McGee or Vince Coleman ,

 Obviously, he's not Willie McGee or Vince Coleman . The biggest thing is, he gets on base and he puts the ball in play. He doesn't strike out much.

 Every time Willie's back, my favorite part of the day is the ovation (fans) give Willie McGee. It's No. 1. It just tickles all of us. It's so well deserved.

 Facing McGwire was definitely something that comes to mind. Facing the Cardinal teams back when they had all the speed: Ozzie Smith, Willie McGee and all those guys.

 I remember one time I saw Tommy Lasorda throw out the first pitch for a game and with all his baseball experience, playing and managing, didn't even get the ball to the plate. I want to get the ball to the catcher and not dribble it up there.

 We were doing a fake slant to me and a pitch to Willie, and from what Tommy was saying he had a hard time getting a handle on it.

 A lot of crazy things have happened. When you get into this situation, anybody can beat anybody on these nights. You look at the Swiss, teams like that, they're coming together at the right time, and they're playing great hockey. They're playing well as a team, and it shows.

 It's going to be tough. They're one of the hottest teams in the league right now. Vince (Carter) is playing tremendous, and so is Richard Jefferson, so we got to play great team defense, great man-on-man defense.

 They can all hit the 3, they can all penetrate and they can all play defense. It just took awhile because we start four sophomores and (Coleman) who is a junior. It just took them some time to realize how good they are. They are playing great right now.

 I'm looking forward to playing Tommy. He's been playing great. I feel like I'm playing well, I've turned the corner and this will be a great test. He's in form and on a surface he likes. I want to play well against an elite player.

 Willie has been playing great. He adds a different dimension to what people are used to seeing when they think Steelers football. They think hard, grind-it-out football getting two yards at a time. Not that we really have changed that, but Willie kind of adds that dimension that he can bounce it outside and get you 10, 15 or 20 yards on any given run.

 We're coming up against teams that should be better competition for us. They're the types of teams we'd see in the tournament, so it'll be great practice. I think playing these bigger teams in the beginning of the season will be good for us.

 It's difficult but we were able to establish the run. Our offensive line and Willie Parker did a fantastic job of managing the game and Ben did a great job of spreading the ball around. And the defense did a great job of getting us the ball back. We won 34-7 so there's really nothing to complain about.

 [O'Neill knew going in that his success will depend on Carter, so he flew to Daytona Beach this summer and had dinner with Vince and his mom. He came away convinced that the talk about Carter being soft is just that: talk.] The thing people need to realize is that Vince had two serious injuries last year, ... Frankly, Vince Carter is the least of my worries.
