Commodores Quote of the Day

[On controversial loss at Tennessee in 1981] “It was a very close game, the 4-7 team was a good team,” Arnold said. “It should have been better than that, it was home cooking in Knoxville. Things can be proved by film, whether anybody wants to admit that or not. It can be.”
