"This sounds crazy, but the paycheck's different. The crowd's different. The interest is different. But the basketball's not so different."

South Dakota State, Northern Colorado and Lipscomb - believe me, the basketball IS different.

I love the quote, "if you dont have your own blood cheering for you its tough"!!!

Trust me there are very few places you can find more truer fans then Harlan!! Been there done that!
