Don't matter what they throw at us. Only angry people win football games.
You know, a football coach is nothing more than a teacher. You teach them the same subject, and you have a group of new guys every year.
The only thing that would change would be the year, the names. It just got to be a repetitious life.
They cut us up like boarding house pie. And that's real small pieces.
When I was a freshman at Oklahoma in 1946, the game was sold out - and it's been sold out ever since.
A boy shows how much he wants to play in the spring, when it's tough, and during two a days, when it's hot and tough.
