“A college football star, by his senior year, is used to running out there with 110,000 people going nuts. They feel comfortable in that environment. To me, a set feels like that.

“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

“I've always had an irrational fear - it's really not an irrational fear, I think - whenever I've been standing at a urinal at a bar, or Giants Stadium or Yankee Stadium. You've got a bunch of drunks behind you, often in a hostile, adrenalized environment like a football game. What's to prevent the guy behind me from slamming my head into the porcelain wall in front of me?” ThinkingGuyGamesBehindsEnvironmentFrontsFootballWallStandingBarsBunchGiantsIrrationalHostileYankeesBehind YouStadiumsFootball GamePorcelainYankee StadiumIrrational Fear Author:Steve Rushin
