adds changed cowboys great joe
That really adds a lot of great luster to this. They have a first-class operation, and Joe Gibbs is a first-class person, ... But I never changed my loyalty. I'm still a big Cowboys fan.
ball believe ben charge early game key seattle turned
They've turned the ball over to him. I think they really believe in him and I think the key to the game will be if Big Ben can take charge early on. If he doesn't I think Seattle will win.
car crew impressed stopped struggled
We struggled early, but what impressed me was that the crew never stopped working to get the car better. I'm impressed with the effort.

We'd love to emulate what he's done. He has a history of doing it right, and we're fortunate to be associated with him.

That's how important this race is to me.
against air days force game great loved memories naval played wish
Allan and I played during the same time, and I told him the one thing I really wish I could have done was play a game against him and Air Force. I have so many great memories about my days at the Naval Academy, but if I could do it again, I would have loved for us to play Air Force because I never got the chance.

This is a big deal. No matter what any of these players say, this game will impact the rest of their lives.

I think it's a natural rivalry because of the close proximity of the schools. I'm happy to see that Maryland and Navy are finally playing again.
field hard played practiced spoke talk
I was able to talk to him in the huddle, and he always practiced hard and he always played hard, ... So it wasn't a distraction. But he never spoke to me off the field that year. It was a little weird.
good great move smart tough
He's a tough guy, he's a good guy. At the Academy, he was a very smart guy. He'll do a great job. That's a good move (for Michigan).
athletics committed feeling hoping miracles people sure
I have the same feeling that I had as an athlete. We're just hoping we can be competitive. I'm very much committed to making sure this works. . . . If you put the right people in the right places, miracles can happen.
deserve guys
I don't see how that can happen. That wouldn't make any sense. Aikman, Elway, Marino. Those guys deserve to be in right away.
I don't think Troy and I are that arrogant.
counting race winning
I'm not counting on winning a race soon, but I don't want to be too old before I win.
