We had $50,000 right there. We can chip in. It’s how it was when I grew up. Before you get in the car, some gas, you've got to chip in. Just chip in. Wow. Shoot. I'm sorry. Wow, fifty grand.”

"What are you going to do with the field goal if you take it down anyway? What are you going to do with it? Put it in your front yard? Your frat house? Then you're telling on yourself. I don't understand that, but I love it."
