Every state we go to, it's just like that. I don't care if it's Denver, Colorado, or Georgia or Florida. It's neat to get a chance to see the different alums throughout the country.

We're getting reports of 200 to 400 stranded cars on I-25 between Denver and Colorado Springs.

You have Georgia and Alabama and Florida and you're always going to be going up against them and for the same kids year-in and year-out. And that builds the rivalry and makes the competition between them all that more fierce.

As you know, we had a heck of a ball game with Michigan State, ... John L. (Smith) and his staff did a great job. The lead changed hands often in that game, two teams playing extremely hard, and like we face each week in the Big Ten, it was a battle down until the end. I'm real proud of the way our kids continued to play. We fell behind (but) we kept going after it and I'm very proud of them.

This is an interesting case study. There's 40,000 Colorado State alumni in the Denver area. Wyoming has several thousand alumni living in Denver. Air Force has a lot of fans in the area. But for whatever reason, it didn't translate to sales.

I was frustrated after a Florida State League game back in 1977 and threw my spike up against the wall. Unfortunately, it hit the picture.
