Running Back Major Ogilvie remembers the first things Bryant told his group of freshmen: "Be courteous to everyone, write home to your parents, and keep your rooms neat." Says Ogilvie: "He's so involved in your future. He teaches us as people, not as football players. He relates football to life rather than life to football...
