When discussing last week's game between UCLA - Arizona State, the coaches were commenting on the lack of defense by both teams and the type of football they were playing, Master Coach, Frank Kush said, "No they call that touch football with pads on!"

After the Virginia Tech - Miami game was played, Master Coach, Pat Dye said, "The home team (Virginia Tech) is dealing with all the distractions of a big game... trying to find tickets for all the friends and family, interviews from all the media, while Miami is down there just sharpening their razor, getting ready for the game."

During a conference call with the media the week of the USC - Notre Dame game, a sportswriter asked Master Coach Bo Schembechler, if all the mystique surrounding Notre Dame would have any affect on the outcome of the game, he said, "Only if all the officials are Catholic!"

"I went to Berkeley 100 years ago and I was a lousy player," said Master Coach John Ralston, who lettered in 1950. "I remember when I got the job at Stanford, one of the professors over at Berkeley said, 'You tell that darned Ralston he will be a Cal alum a lot longer than he will be a Stanford coach.' As dedicated as I was for nine years at Stanford, I tend to go back to my roots. I would wear blue and gold if I went to the game."
