amount coaches guys kids pressure sitting straight three tremendous wins
We're sitting here at 19 straight wins and there is a tremendous amount of pressure on kids and coaches to keep it going. And these guys have done it now for three straight years.
answer coaches division gray name spot
It's been around a long time. It didn't have a name back then. But coaches in Division I-A still have to answer to 25 and 85. You can't get around that. You have a spot available, and you take them. There's nothing gray about that.
chance coaches far food gives happen mean national since university
I think when I get through and I'm gumming my food, it will mean a lot ... As far as today, it would give these kids, these coaches and this university something we haven't done since we've been here. Secondly, it gives you a chance to play for a national championship and that doesn't happen many times in peoples' lives, if ever.
coaches selfish talk
It's not about me. It would be so selfish for coaches to talk about this being about them.
coaches family knew national realize talked texas until
I knew about Texas from being around coaches in my family, but I didn't realize it was such a national place until I got here. When you say something at Texas, it's talked about nationally, not just in your neighborhood.
admired class coaches knew stood taught win
I knew him when I was a young coach. I admired him for what he stood for. He taught coaches how to win championships with class and dignity.
ball drives maturity move offense pass run throwing
We just need to move the ball, not necessarily run the ball. We've had seven-minute drives with Vince throwing it, so we know because of his maturity in the offense that we can move the ball with the run or the pass now.
defense proud run stop
We weren't real proud of our run defense. We'll try to stop the run first (against Baylor). If you can't stop the run, you've got problems.
awful chance cost mistake national win
I've told them if you get in trouble, you probably won't play. What an awful thing for you to make a 15-second mistake that cost yourself a chance to play or win a national championship.
athletic performance seen
I've never seen an athletic performance from a quarterback like Vince Young did tonight.
bill emotional football hall kansas kids miss nobody school state
It was very emotional for me. Football will miss Bill Snyder. More than that, the kids of Kansas State will miss him. He'll be in the Hall of Fame. Nobody will ever do for a school in football, in my estimation, what he's done for Kansas State.
blocked dumb might people remember
It was very controversial when we did it. I remember people asking, 'Coach, how dumb are you? He might get hurt.' He blocked a punt on his first play.
planning
I've been planning this one for 33 years and now I really don't know what to say.
credit fight lose mad next ok saturday therefore understand until win worry
I used to really worry about it. I used to fight it, and it used to make me mad and now I understand sometimes when you win one, you get too much credit and therefore when you lose one, you get too much criticism. I understand we're probably OK until next Saturday ... and then it probably will be I just can't win any one of them again, but that's all right.
