The Barry CS
5 Ohio State-Buckeyes still alive.
4 Missouri-huge game Saturday night against Kansas
3 West Va – Their skill players Pat White and Steve Slayton are dangerous and are always making plays
2 Kansas - I think they’re for real on both sides of the ball. Nobody knows who they are but whoever they are, they’re damn good football players I know that. I'm beginning to believe these guys are really good
1 LSU – The most physically talented team on both sides of the ball. They don’t play like a great football team should, but you look at them and there’s nobody more talented than them out there. They still haven’t played their perfect game yet – when they do they will totally destroy a football team.
on Instant Replay
When they put replay in, and put the extra officials out there, they wanted to get it right and why not get it right? And concerning time element…time of a football game? Are you kidding me? It all comes down to money, producers, time slots.
on NFL rivalries
Rivalries don’t stay the same because of free agency – it has totally transformed the league. The fans keep them alive, players do not because the players change. That’s what brings about rivalries, when you know every guy on the roster when you used to play him.
on Sooners loss
At halftime of the game the open phone line for suicide watch, the number to call was announced throughout the state of Oklahoma for Sooner fans. Please don’t take this kind of action, please call this number before finalizing your decision.
on the evolution of football
The coaching and the excessive number of people involved in the evaluation of the athletes is what's done in high school. A lot of this has to be attributed to the high school coaches to the athletic programs in high school , to the emphasis of the communities and the high school, because they are producing kids that can play and are ready to play and a lot of them , so that doesn't happen without all of those things happening.
on coaching during the holidays
College or professional , we don't have holidays we don't have the traditional holidays Thanksgiving , Christmas. We are always traveling or playing .
So we never think anything about it it's just a game on a Thursday or on Christmas day. I think through the years how many times in my profession how many times I gathered a football team on the Christmas eve or Christmas day and fed'em in the morning and put 'em on a big body airplane and we flew to some bowl site around the country to play in some January 1st bowl. Throughout our playing days we played in Nebraska in the sixties and the seventies ...it was a part of coaching!
