“I would call them, whether it’s a playoff game, a bowl game, or one of these kickoff classic type things, which I think is helpful to, you know, our players in terms of playing some place that’s not really a home game for them.”

Honesty and integrity is an important part of our character, my character.

I played so long ago, I don’t think anybody even knew you could transfer. I don’t think they knew anything about it.

If I say I like one person, that means everybody that voted for the other person doesn’t like me. So, why would I do that?

When I talk about a successful program, define that. It’s not just winning the national championship every year because nobody can do that.

You can blame the other guy for saying it, or you can look at yourself and say, ‘I must have contributed to this.’

I would give them the ball and score points. I wouldn’t play them on defense. I would play them where they can get the ball and score points.

You can control your own destiny a little bit better in college. It’s hard to control all the variables, especially with the salary cap and things like that, in pro football.

I think people always assume that every team has great intangibles, and that’s not necessarily right.

I think when you win the national championship, it works throughout your team. Where human nature is to say, I did well. I got my quota this month.

I don’t ever want the players to relax in a game.

I certainly like to win. But I really hate to lose.

We played in a number of these neutral site games.

You get excited about getting married, aight, but after you’re married for awhile, you gotta have a process to make it work, aight.

So when you act like the individual is not important, well, it is damn important who these people are and what they are.

When you have the ability to affect other people and be somebody that somebody wants to emulate, care enough to help somebody else for their benefit, that’s what makes you a good teammate, and that’s what everybody’s looking for.

It’s been our goal as a program to always give our players the best opportunity to be successful, whether it’s personally, academically, or athletically.

If we only make merit but have not stopped doing bad things, then we will never have a day of completion. It is like an overturned bowl which is left outside in the rain.

I made a wish on a sliver of moonlight A sly grin and a bowl full of stars.

I think dates considered super corny and cheesy – whether it’s going bowling or miniature golf or something where you can be competitive and just have fun with each other – those always make the most memorable dates!

I was nineteen and I put a bowl on and I said, Cut around! Because it was not the fashion at the time when I did that hairdo – and I kept it all my life!

I would sacrifice 1,000 yards rushing to win a Super Bowl.

A painting of a bowl of fruit is much easier. It’s for the same reason why we don’t like going to the doctor.

I said “I’ve had pho,” and then he goes, “Oh, what do you get, the number one big bowl?” I was like, “Come on, man

I’m not kidding you, to utter these words aloud is so surreal to me – but to say, “I had to give up my Super Bowl tickets for my all-expense paid research trip to Argentina’s wine country,”
