‘With a coaching career that spans more than 30 years and six different position assignments as well as offensive coordinator, there is little that Cortez has not experienced in preparing a team or a position group for a regular season.

‘”I’ve lived in several different places,” Calloway told Buffalobills.com. “I was born in Florida, went to Japan, moved to New Mexico, then I moved to Arizona and I was there for about four years.

‘"I’ve always thought it was one of the top positions," Edgerson said. "No. 1 is that the cornerbacks are sitting out there by themselves. Everybody can see them. It’s not like they can hide. I’m glad that the cornerback is finally getting this recognition over the past few years."’

‘"It’s a great honor," Edgerson said. "It’s something I am very, very proud of because I’m going to be put on the wall with some very distinguished ballplayers."’

‘”He was an all-world player, he was a great player. He played sideline to sideline, was real big, very active, worked hard,” said Etheridge. “He had to beat double and triple teams every time, which really helped the rest of the guys on our defense. (Troup) was definitely the main force of (the semifinal team). Some kids you think are going to play on the next level, we definitely thought Torell would get to the next level.

‘McKelvin, of Troy University, and Schouman (Boise State), have found ways to go back to complete their educations. Unfortunately it was injury that provided them with the time needed to complete their degrees.’

‘The Porky’s Open golf tournament was still eight years from reality the last time Buddy Nix coached a football game for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. One can argue over whether or not Nix being forced out at UTC in 1992 after nine seasons wasn’t the best thing to happen to him.
