definitely earned gives maybe nose respect stick win wrong
Maybe stick their nose up is the wrong term. ... The respect they've got, they definitely earned it. This win gives us some respect back.
face few nose stuck
Let's face it, and I'm one of the few that will say it, (TCU) has stuck their nose up to us for a long time,
ball effective moving
We weren't effective moving the ball the whole game. We were just ineffective.
admit looked people sort
People don't want to admit it, but TCU has sort of looked down at SMU,
capable consistent obviously
That's what I think. We've got to see what we're capable of doing. Obviously what we're doing right now is not consistent enough for us to win.
biggest
My biggest disappointment ... is our tackling. It was horrendous.
job knew rebuilding took
When I took the SMU job, I knew it would be a rebuilding process,
admit associated business coming football help impressive knew looks marquee people players respect since win
Since I have been here, we haven't had any marquee wins. I told the players before the game, if you are going to get any respect in this business - it has to be earned. They (TCU) were coming off a very impressive win over Oklahoma, and we knew they were going to be good. People don't want to admit it, but TCU looks down at SMU. It was a win that will not only help the football program, but everyone associated with SMU.

The players did not feel good about the way they played,
defense field great red stayed zone
We wanted to play great red zone defense and we did that. We just stayed on the field too long.
game lie met second wife
It?s special, ... That?s the place where I met my first wife and where my second wife (lived). I?m not going to lie and say it?s just another game for me. It?s not.

It's a great list - they're legends of the game,

We're a much more athletic team than we've ever been.
