Was looking for the Shelby Metcalf story/quote thread. Hopefully to have a good laugh. I've used the search function but can't seem to find anything. Anybody have it?

Shelby was the king of Aggie basketball. Always was. Always will be.
One of the toughest recruiting locations in the NCAA ... rural, lily white and largely military.
A great coach who adapted to the rapidly changing environment.
A great coach who loved his players as his own kids.
A great coach who loved, no ... revered, Texas A&M.
And, without challenge, the best sense of humor and quickest wit of any collegiate basketball coach anywhere, ever.

After one game in the 70's when we were not having a good football year, we were walking out of Kyle field after a terrible loss and a fan told Coach, " Shelby, I can't wait till basketball season starts", Which Shelby replied, "When you see us play you'll be hollering "Batter up"......
