“I get asked about the best games I've called, and as far as college football goes, the Florida-LSU environment was as good as I've ever been around. I had always heard about night games at Tiger Stadium and had never gotten the chance to call one. It was really special to be a part of that and then the game, my gosh, how can anybody ever forget that. The fourth quarter and LSU's final drive, that's something I'll always remember.” RememberNightGamesChanceForgetEnvironmentHeardSpecialFootballCollegeFinalsQuartersFourthFloridaTigersStadiumsCollege FootballLsuFourth QuarterTiger Stadium Author:Verne Lundquist

“Astronomers are pure of heart and appealingly puerile. They look into the midnight sky and ask big questions, just as we did when we were in college: Who are we? Where do we come from?

“For a college basketball player or coach, to reach the Final Four is la-la land. You’ve achieved, you’ve got your stamp of approval. My first team to do that was in 1986.

“The Electoral College is a project that calls on their judgment. If we don't like it, we can talk about how to eliminate it. I'm not quite convinced we should eliminate it completely. I think it's important to have a final check be somebody other than the Supreme Court. But given that it's there, we should take it seriously. And taking it seriously says they should exercise their judgment according to the moral values, the principles that are part of our constitutional tradition today. And those principles say equality.” IfsThinkingShouldImportantTodayValuesGivenMoralPrinciplesCollegeExerciseJudgmentProjectsTraditionCourtFinalsConvincedSupremeChecksSupreme CourtMoral ValuesElectoral College Author:Lawrence Lessig
