The Year of the Century: 1876 was fun to research, and I did a great deal of traveling. I wanted to cover every event of any importance in that year. So I had to immerse myself in microfilm of a dozen newspapers in different cities, and half-blinded myself looking at it, hour after hour.
We've seen it before. Now we just have to practice for it.
There ain't no difference. Take Penn State. They're a rival. Whoever wants to step up and play against Illinois is my rival. That's the way I see it.
When I'm playing against them, I guess I get a little more juiced.
I just threw it up and prayed it would go in, and it went in. It was a big momentum swing for us going into halftime.
I just threw it up and prayed for it to go in. It was just big momentum for us before halftime.
I really don't get nervous, but there were so many thoughts in my head. Not only was it a big game, but it was Senior Night. I was a little nervous, but it had nothing to do with my performance.
I heard him. I hear everything he says. It means we have to get out and run in transition and open it up.
I'm just thinking about what I could have done to make the team win.
I'm just looking at Indiana on Sunday. You just have to worry about yourself. You have to win and see what happens.
I miss football a lot. Football made me a better teammate basketball-wise because I knew I needed my line and my receivers to block for me. Once I realized how much I needed my teammates to make me look good, that helped me as a basketball player.
I play basketball. This is what I do. There's a lot of pressure put on me, but I'm a complete player. I'm going to play how I've been playing, but now I have the ball in my hands.
I never said anything bad about him. I tell a lot of people he's one of the best coaches out there just because of the type of person he is. He's a good coach. Everything he's got this year he deserves.
I'm honored that people thought so highly of me. I guess it didn't end the way I liked. It definitely started the way I wanted.
