I don't count on the boy who waits till October, when it's cool and fun, then decides he wants to play.

I have found that the players who have played in that game really do have respect for their adversaries.

You've got to think lucky. If you fall into a mudhole, check your back pocket - you might have caught a fish

The only place you can win a football game is on the field, the only place you can lose it is in your hearts.

I quit when I was 52, and everybody was telling me that I was too young and I'd be bored - all of those things.

A boy shows how much he wants to play in the spring, when it's tough, and during two a days, when it's hot and tough.

Winning coaches must treat mistakes like copperheads in the bedclothes - avoid them with all the energy you can muster.

I enjoy traveling and playing some of the well-known courses sometimes, but basically, I have a good time at Barton Creek.

It's more fun when you shoot well and when you have a good score, but that's not a prerequisite to me for having a good time.

For one thing, I like to walk when I play golf. Now I don't walk the whole way, but I try not to be the driver when in a cart.

You know, a football coach is nothing more than a teacher. You teach them the same subject, and you have a group of new guys every year.

It has really filled a big space, especially since I have been so-called retired - although I haven't noticed my schedule slacking at all.

For me, it is just the total experience - from the time I first started as an assistant coach until I wound up at the University of Texas for 20 years.

Coaching at Texas and playing at the University of Oklahoma, I had the opportunity to see a lot of guys in Texas - Texas lettermen - who I played against.

The majority of people pull for the underdog. Heck, even your friends don't like you to be too successful. We've lost enough over the years for me to maintain my friendships.

There is no such thing as defeat except when it comes from within. As long as a person doesn't admit he is defeated, he is not defeated-he's just a little behind and isn't through fighting.

If everything had already been done, there would be nothing left for young people to accomplish. There are always going to be people who run faster, jump higher, dive deeper, and come up drier.

The Texas-OU game is a big revenue bear. And because it's played at a neutral site, you don't have as many student body going as you would if it was home-and-home. These are full-price tickets.
