Booing is completely and entirely negative, but somebody spoke about another great institution that was not having a great year and said that in fact there was not any of that in the crowd. I smiled and gave thought to that. First of all, I said, 'How positive that is that those people did not do that.' Then I thought about my stadium, and I said, 'I bet you those people don't scream loudly when a great play is made. I bet you those people don't show up at the walk. I bet you those people don't sing the alma mater at the end of the game, and I bet you those people don't have tears in their eyes when the Tigers take the field.' I began to understand that as a part of love and appreciation for a team, just occasionally 2,500 knuckleheads might boo. I think I might want to be at a place where they care greatly for the work that you do and that it's important that you do it well. If that means that very rarely one or two guys might boo, I kind of understand."
