The only thing I would change is during the summer - when I was working my summer job, if I was smart, I would have taken flying lessons at Auburn.

I was always an Alabama fan growing up, but when the Alabama recruiter told me I would probably not be able to play until the end of my sophomore year, or the beginning of my junior year.

I've taken up golf in the past five or six years, and most of the time there aren't too many people out there that can drive a ball further than I can.

Image
Football is easy if you're crazy as hell.
Bo Jackson
Image
The way strength and conditioning has helped me now is that I make it a point to go to the gym everyday if I can.
Bo Jackson
Image
I have no problem with my hips - I can still do the things that I used to do. I can run, I'm just not the fastest person on the field anymore.
Bo Jackson
Image
I am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it.
Bo Jackson
Image
Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.
Bo Jackson
Image
Just let me do what I'm doing, and then when all of this is up, then you can say how my career was. Don't try to sum up my career in one or two seasons. Let me finish it first.
Bo Jackson
Image
I also tell them that your education can take you way farther than a football, baseball, track, or basketball will - that's just the bottom line.
