For the first time, I stopped caring about the regular season in college basketball. College football, for good or bad, has doggedly held on to the sacredness of the regular season, to its credit.

The debate has really died down in college football among the people who matter.

This school's athletic programs, in particular, football, basketball and baseball are known nationwide. Basketball-wise it's because of him [Carey]. When you mention Garden City, people know where that is.

We spend a lot of time together playing football and basketball and lifting weights all the time.

I was too short for basketball and too little for football, ... They had (three-time NFL Pro Bowler) Bucko Kilroy about a year ahead of me. He was full-grown then.

They were very attentive, no sad faces. It's a tough time, but if you look through college basketball ... everybody's coming back. When you recruit kids, you tell them, 'You're lucky to get two days at Christmas.' We actually had three full days.
