Lionel Sullivan SI on Campus' 10.28.04 QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

Lionel Sullivan, a senior forward from Detroit De Porres High who has committed to play hoops at Bowling Green, on why he's so tough:

"My mom told me, 'The ball is your food, and if you don't get it, you'll go hungry for a while.' I go get rebounds like I'm going to get food to eat."

I still love to see that quote! That's the type of heart I want to see on the floor game in and game out. I just hope this Sullivan kid backs his words up. Mr. Reimold is the only who gives it his all EVERY game. If the rest of the team gets this mentality, watch out!

Agreed Metz. Last year we may have been short on athletic ability and talent. We don't have as many quick, "long", athletes as some of the other MAC teams do. Still, our biggest problem was attitude. We were sorely lacking in this area. I'm thrilled to see that this kid appears to be a "high energy" type player that is exactly what Dakich wants.

I'm about ready for some hoops!

I bet Amstutz is one hell of a rebounder then. Maybe the best.

I saw that quote somewhere before...perhaps the Blade?

I always thought it sounded a little goofy.

Great quote!

Nah, you can't tell Jabba the 'Stutz that the ball is his food. He would miss the metaphor entirely and just eat the ball.

HA!!! That quote is awsome!!! GO BG!!!
