FAMOUS QUOTES from Eric Thigpen

I liked the campus at Iowa from the very beginning. It's compact, not spread out. The people in the community are friendly and the players took me in here right away. Coach Fry is like a father figure, it's just one big happy family. I always wanted to play in the Rose Bowl. I wanted to be a part of a winning team that has a chance to go to the Rose Bowl. I feel in the next three or four years I have that chance at Iowa.

FAMOUS QUOTES about Eric Thigpen

Chuck Long - Link to source
We knew Eric would be a natural free safety. He's worked hard and stayed with the plan. Last season Eric stepped his play up to another level. He's got a great attitude and comes to work every day with a businesslike approach
- Prior to 1997, when he was DB coach at Iowa
