Don't let this be the best thing that ever happens in your life. Maybe it'll be the best sports event, but don't let it be the best thing. Make sure you're a better father than this today. Make sure you're a better husband than this today. Because this goes away. ... It's a game.

We have an opportunity to beat the team that's been the best in college football. That's a goal that we set a year ago. We felt like we'd be back in this game, and we felt like we'd be playing SC in this game, and all of that has happened now.

against earned enjoy fight fun game good great group happen helped hype kid nervous odds ohio position stadium state time totally understand unless walking week
It helped us understand that all of the hype around the game is totally unimportant unless you enjoy it. Don't fight it and don't get nervous about it: enjoy it. I had a great time the week of the Ohio State game. I had never been to that stadium and I was like a kid walking in there like a fan. It was fun for our group to have all the odds against us because that doesn't happen very much for us. And that's where we are again. We've earned the right to be here but the odds are against us. And that's a good position for us to be in.

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.

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.

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.
