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.
gives hard hopefully kids last lost means opportunity stay weeks
(The win) gives us the opportunity to stay at (No. 2) and hopefully get better as a team. Last year, when we lost in October, we lost some of that and couldn't get back up. It by no means gives you a right to the end, and that's what our kids have to understand. It's a long, hard 11 weeks left.
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.
field good kids proud time tough
We've had a tough time in this series. I'm not proud of that and I feel responsible for that. To see the kids out on the field with the fans, the interaction after the game, is something you feel really good about.
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.
assured colorado friendship friends-or-friendship gary goes kids people program staff
Our friendship has come out of respect. Gary's honest, and his program goes by the rules. I know those kids are disciplined, and we've got a lot of people on my staff who have been around the Colorado program that assured me of those things early. I've been able to see those things first-hand by being around Gary more.

ability baby difference enjoy good kids last people stakes step talked teams texas time took year
Good teams enjoy the hype, and they have the ability to focus. Young people come to Texas and SC for this game, and it's been a long time for us to get back to this game, and we took a baby step last year in this environment. I've talked to the kids about it. The only difference between this year and last year is the stakes are bigger.
appreciate chance excited fans kids last players
I'm really excited for a chance to see the kids again. I want Vince to see the fans one last time, and I want all of our players to let them know how much we appreciate them.
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.
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.
