-On being a Playboy pre-season all-American: "I thought my mother or my sister would be in Playboy before me."

-From a friend at Iowa: Matt had a knack for just walking into friends' dorm rooms and rummaging for food. My co-worker was sleeping one day and woke to Roth eating hotdogs out of his dorm fridge. He asked what the hell he was doing. Roth looked at him and said, "eating lunch, what the fu*k are you doing?"

-From another friend who plays football there: Matt calls every freshman "freshman." He'll tell them, "I'll call you by your name, freshman, but you have to put me on my back in practice first. So you're gonna be 'freshman' all year."

edit: I found out that apparently freshman Nyere Aumitaire didn't put Roth on his back, but he did take a swing at him during a heated moment in a drill. Roth referred to him as "Nyere" the rest of the year, saying, "I like that kid."

-Matt is known for flying around campus with reckless abondon on his moped. One common story is the time that Roth lost control of his moped and hit a curve head on by Carver Hawkeye Arena which sent him over the handle bars. He then stood up, looked around, hopped on the moped and took off like nothing happened.
