Here is a quote from the story that is full of good ones...
"You make it personal to give your team the edge and relate it to what we want to do and accomplish that particular week," said Sherrill. "One of the biggest things we did was when we played at Vanderbilt and they were 4-1 at that time. Well, a student wrote an article in their student newspaper. He talked about how smart the Vanderbilt players were and how we were nothing but a bunch of junior college students. I posted that article all around and reminded it to all of them all week long. And it stayed with our players all week, especially Fred Smoot."</p>
And then Smoot had a little fun of his own.</p>
"And now this is a true story," said Sherrill. "The first time we were on defense, Fred told a Vanderbilt receiver that he would let him catch a pass if the receiver promised to do his homework that week. If the receiver didn't promise that, then Fred said he wouldn't catch a pass."</p>
