"The one question I have about Kansas is that I don't know that there is a go-to guy, one guy who you would want to take the shot with the game on the line. I asked Roy Williams about that and he named five guys. If you have five go-to guys, it means you don't have any."
-- Dave Stewart, KQRC 98.9
GH: Jeff Boschee is the 'Hawks' go-to guy. The Dakota Kid is cool, confident and deadly in the clutch.
"I talked to the [Mizzou] players, and they told me if it would have been a year before or two years ago, they would have told me not to [play football at the University of Missouri]."
-- Damien Nash, MU's blue-chip running back recruit out of East St. Louis, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
GH: MU's Gary Pinkel is already 1-0.
"When these student bodies get very, very personal with a certain player, whether it's a past problem he's had ... I don't think there's any need for that. That needs to be cleaned up by the specific school. It's not right. It's not fair. That bothers me more than anything."
-- Larry Eustachy, Iowa State's head coach, after Nebraska fans chided the Cyclones' Jamaal Tinsley for being a high school dropout, Omaha World Herald
GH: Eustachy just handed the Antlers and every other student cheering section around the conference a game plan to work on the psyche of his All-American point guard. Big-time college sports can be nasty on the road -- just ask visitors to Ames, Iowa. Get tough or get out.
"Jamie Quirk and first base coach Frank White -- both former Omaha Royals and longtime Kansas City Royals -- met with news media and season ticket holders [January 23] at the Royals' annual winter caravan stop in Omaha. For perhaps the first time, no current Kansas City player made the trip. Four players have traveled to Omaha the past few years, but Quirk said the players who had committed to this year's trip backed out."
-- Rob White, staff writer, Omaha World Herald
GH: Does this mean the Royals can stop calling their media tour a caravan and start calling it a car?
"Do you know who this woman looks like? She looks like a female Urkel."
-- Jason Whitlock, after seeing photos of the mother of Jesse Jackson's illegitimate child, WHB 810
