Minnesota head coach Jerry Kill gave a speech to high school students yesterday. He stressed how important it was to associate with the right types of people.

“Surround yourself with good people. … My dad used to have the saying, ‘You hang around with turds, you’ll finish third.”

Words to live by. Picturing a lot of pasty teachers with perms nodding affirmatively and muttering “dis is true” and “dern tootin” in the background.
