My sophomore year I placed 2nd, and my junior and senior year - I got smart and piled up enough points between myself and second place where I didn't have to run the mile.

It is better to give a lick than receive one. If anybody got in my way, I tried to run right through them.

Football is easy if you're crazy as hell.

I am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it.

I also tell them that your education can take you way farther than a football, baseball, track, or basketball will - that's just the bottom line.

Don't sell yourself short because without that you can't go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can't do anything else with that.

I struck out with two men on base. I was so angry, so frustrated, I turned and without even thinking about it, snapped my bat over my thigh. The bat split right in half. Afterward, reporters asked me if it was the first time I'd ever broken a bat over my thigh. "I broke an aluminum bat over my knee in college," I said. (I was just kidding).
