“We can all be successful and make money, but when we die, that ends.”

One thing about me is I try to be honest.

Each guy is charged with upholding his end, nothing more. In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely.

Everybody from the Big Ten is going to play the ACC. Everybody from the Big East is going to play the Pac-10.

This was due to the fact that they encouraged you always to make sure that God is the focus of your life, and they didn’t allow you to do anything except to the very best of your ability.

Successful people will always tell you you can do something. It’s the people who have never accomplished anything who will always discourage you from trying to achieve excellent things.

All an agent is going to do is buy things for a player, damage his eligibility, and make the player dependent on them.

In football, it’s the job of the player to play, the coach to coach, the official to officiate.

We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin – and it’s gonna happen – confession puts us back on the field.

I think that everybody needs four things in life. Everybody needs something to do regardless of age.

Everyone goes through adversity in life, but what matters is how you learn from it.

The second Saturday in September, we’re going to have conference day. Everybody from the SEC plays a Big 12 team.

I was raised in a religious environment, and my wife is one of the more religious people that I have ever known.

I do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it’s not always in the way you expect.

I believe – we all pay taxes. I’m happy to pay it, but I hate to have it abused, money wasted, no accountability. That’s going to bother you.

We have so many athletes do so many wonderful things for other people, and you never read about it.

I’ll assure you this: I will have nothing to do with politics.

Death means my present physical costume ends.

When we bluff our way through life, pretending to be who we are not, we end up looking worse than we truly are.

At the end of the day everybody lost. We almost crippled our industry. It was very disappointing what happened.

I guess it’s true, goodbyes aren’t just endings but beginnings too.

If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.

I don’t like my hockey sticks touching other sticks, and I don’t like them crossing one another, and I kind of have them hidden in the corner. I put baby powder on the ends. I think it’s essentially a matter of taking care of what takes care of you.

Doubt, of whatever kind, can be ended by action alone.

If you don’t change the direction you are going, then you’re likely to end up where you’re heading.
