I say college football began with Rockne.
Football is football; I don't care if you're doing it in Division II, NAIA, or in the SEC or anything in between.
There are a lot of great players that never got a chance to play for a national championship. And I got a chance to play for two.
I respect everybody who goes to Kentucky. You know that once you sign with Kentucky, the same thing with Duke. You know each and every night it's going to be a team's Super Bowl. You're going to get their best.
President Obama recently sat down with ESPN and said the NCAA should reduce the shot clock for basketball games. Then he said, 'And while we're at it, is there any way they can reduce the 'being president clock?'
I didn't even dream of going to college. College was not in my definition. If somebody told me I was going to play for the Missouri Tigers in 2009, I would laugh at them.
I'm a big sports fan. College football is my favorite.
Ohio State University puts out some very fine football players.
I was at 260 at Tennessee because I was playing three-technique.
I love the Bowl system. I've always been a proponent of the Bowl system. I think it's been great for college football, for this level.
If I didn't love the game, why would I play at the University of Kentucky? Why would I ever come here? It's a serious program.
In college, I probably lost a total of about 11 games, and then I came to the Celtics and in my first three weeks we went on a nine-game losing streak.
The University of Texas is a place, a special place, that deservedly holds a seat among college football elite.
I grew up in the Big East Conference for 30 years. We were a conference that was nothing. We were a bunch of schools thrown together and within five years we were one of the top two basketball conferences in the country.
The ACC is a great league.
That's why I'm here at UCLA - to help them win a national championship.
Making it to the Final Four, you feel like you're watched on campus. You're in the classroom, professors are talking about it.
Here at CBS, spring also means March Madness. I love the name March Madness. I'm glad the PC police haven't made us change March Madness to early spring psychosis.
It's Alabama. They've been the powerhouse. The face of college football.
I learned the major difference between college and pro football. In the pros, you're up against a top receiver almost every minute of time. In college, maybe one comes along every third game.
The obvious goals were there- State Champion, NCAA Champion, Olympic Champion. To get there I had to set an everyday goal which was to push myself to exhaustion or, in other words, to work so hard in practice that someone would have to carry me off the mat.
The two places that I had most imprinted in my mind and in my memory were UCLA and Indiana. To play at one and coach at the other is unbelievable.
I haven't had a chance to pick where I wanted to play since 2007 when I chose to go to Michigan State.
I grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, so in Iowa, we didn't have a pro sports team, so it was all about the Hawks, and everybody was a Hawkeyes fan, and everybody had their black and gold and had something Hawkeye related.
Partnering with EA Sports and being on the cover of 'NCAA 10 is' very exciting. And to be on the list of guys who have been on the cover before me is exciting.
