From a Nov 22, 2007 Futon Report blog posting titled Lou Holtz, Them’s Fightin’ Words :
In Lou Holtz' Thursday pep talk on the Kansas-Missouri Civil War-era “Border Showdown” rivalry, adorned in KU garb, he dropped this quote on ESPN during halftime of the Arizona State-USC game:
"Only twice have states gone to war with one another. One of them was Ohio and Michigan, where they had a boundary dispute over Toledo. That history doesn’t record who won the war, but we have to assume Michigan did, because nobody would fight to keep Toledo".

Lou had me when he slurred hello.
More Holtz wizdim:
If you burn your neighbors house down, it doesn't make your house look any better.
On this team, we're all united in a common goal: to keep my job.
The problem with having a sense of humor is often that people you use it on aren't in a very good mood.
When all is said and done, more is said than done.
You'll never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him.
You're never as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you're never as bad as they say when you lose.
Mizzou's coach is former UT coach Pinkel.
Kansas beat Toledo early this year. Thanks to poised deliberate coaching like this:
Mangino is a riot.
