Mack Brown Start Quotations

What we're going to do is enjoy this run right now. We'll be in spring practice Feb. 24 and get ready to start over because next year's team hasn't won a game.

For whatever reason, we got off to a bad start with the extra points. He's never kicked in a game before.

If we lost it I was going to be fired. Those will start coming into your mind as big games. . . . Not that I remember, but it was on a wheel route to Bucky Brooks.

I thought Jim (Tressel's) answer was good -- that the only thing for sure he knows about who will start at quarterback is that Vince Young will play for us. (Not knowing) makes it very difficult for us. It's like preparing for another season opener.

I thought I put entirely too much pressure on myself. We were winning, and I wasn't having fun. I don't want to act like I was depressed or miserable. But instead of worrying about what wasn't fixed, I needed to start enjoying what we'd accomplished.

There's no way we can start talking about the end, ... We nearly lost to Kansas last year.

You never know how your team will respond to a stage like this. ... So many times teams in this setting try to be someone they're not because they do want to win so badly that they start taking on a personality that they think they have to have. Our team is good enough to win if we are just us.

I told them they need to enjoy this tonight and not talk about OU, ... We can start talking about OU after we watch tape tomorrow, which is the way it should be.

If you're good enough to finish where you want to, and that's to win all your games, you'd rather start high because it's a lot harder now to come from the bottom to the top than it used to be. If you're out of the top 10 and some other teams have good seasons, you can have a great year like Auburn did and not have a chance to win it all. So there's no doubt that it's more important. I wish we started polls in October. Since we do not, I'd rather be rated high.

I don't want to think about that Teddy Ginn; I'll start losing sleep two weeks early.
