They Said It

?Al Hanlon, in charge of preparing football schedules for the University of Maryland: "I'll tell you how far in advance we schedule. We have two open dates left before 1990."

? Ray Floyd, pro golfer, explaining why his expenses on the tour are $60,000, twice what the average pro spends: "If you travel first class, you think first class, and you're more likely to play first class."

?Chuck Mills, Wake Forest football coach: "I give the same halftime speech over and over. It works best when my players are better than the other coach's players."

?Alois Blackwell, University of Houston running back, on why he chose to play under Coach Bill Yeoman, developer of the Veer-T offense: "I always wanted to play for someone who invented something. Why take a piece of cake from just anybody when you can get one from Betty Crocker?"
