easier family home road
When you're the home team, there are more distractions because your friends are around and your family is around. Sometimes it's easier to play on the road than it is at home.
home people practice putting videos
We can't have videos of practice and have people going home and putting it on the Internet.
family five game heard home kids last left minutes needed points ruin soon third
When we got up to 60 points with five minutes left to go in the third quarter, and with what some of those kids have been through the last week, I thought we needed to get the game over with as soon as we could and let them get home and not try to ruin their season. Some of those kids haven't heard from all of their family members.
game home itself last played practicing since stadium staying year
They're staying at home. They're practicing at SC. They were in the game two years ago. They play in this stadium every other year with UCLA's home game, and they'll have a lot of familiarity with the game itself since they played in the (Orange Bowl) last year.
fans football home honor michael ride team tribute university
This is a real tribute to our football team and the fans of the University of Texas. It will be an honor for the Longhorn logo to ride with Michael in our home state.
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.
coach convince force meant selfish worst
The worst thing for a coach is to try to convince him to come back. After all he's meant to this university, how ungracious of us to be to force him to make a selfish decision.
