I'm kind of the guy that does all the little things that go under the radar. I still try and bring energy and score some points, get some shots, steals -- whatever they ask. I think I am pretty much the same player, just more experienced, better and I get more minutes.
I'm more mature, more confident in this offense,
I'm partial to 'Like a Rolling Stone.' It's the song that fits my era. That and 'Big Boss Man.'
I'm one of the guitar players in the band, and my brother is a drummer. We have two cousins in the band and the four of us started playing in 1968. We toured all over the Midwest and the deep south though 1981. It kind of morphed in the mid-80s into The Kentucky Headhunters.
I'm into horror pictures because I love the fear of being alone in the dark, and I'd recommend that to any composer who wants to work in this genre.
I'm in the best shape I've ever been in, ... I've worked out hard in the summer before, but never like this. I've never felt like this.
I'm just going to try and do what I can do, but it can fluctuate so much, ... If someone goes 20-for-30 and they win, I'm not going to be disappointed.
I'm just proud for him. I'm proud for our team. I'm proud for our program. I think that's the seventh consecutive season we've had a 1,000-yard tailback.

I'm just hoping to see more effort when we watch film. We played a real good team tonight. They showed why they're ranked in the state.
I'm just happy they gave me that shot. I've played so little this season (17 minutes before Saturday) that I'm like a fresh guy. I know they (the coaches) are worried about my knee (after surgery two months ago), but I told them earlier this week that it's fine.
I'm just enjoying the moment right now. All of these awards mean a great deal to me, because of all of the hard work that me and my teammates have put in this year. I guess we've got another one to go (the Heisman) on Saturday.
I'm just burning to get out there and make some noise and answer all the people who think Texas might go out there and be uptight,
I'm so proud of this guy. He showed with so much at stake that he was ready to step up.
