I'm in love with college football. I have such a blast with it.

Back when I was a senior in high school in Haughton, LA, I had a chance to go to LSU. Everyone I grew up with adored LSU, including my mom. But I chose to come to Mississippi State because I wanted to start a new tradition instead of perpetuating an established one.

I'm a big sports fan. College football is my favorite.

I love football. I played it into two years of college.

I went to Alabama, so I'm still very devoted to Alabama football and the SEC.

My explosiveness, I really couldn't show it at UCLA. It's still there. It's always been there. It was not a lot of running. It was a half-court game. Coach Howland came from the Big East, and so you know that's a grind out game.

I had a call to the University of Miami where I'd run a revival in 1950.

I loved the college experience of studying.
