David Thomas Quotations

With Nate just putting his hands up, a lot of players will adjust their shots - it's such a luxury to have someone like that. Blocks can be momentum changers and can add a lot to the game.

We're a veteran group. We have a lot of upperclassmen with a lot of experience. I think with this team, we're more focused on not just going to the bowl, but going in and winning.

With Vince, when you've seen the things he's done, you never lose faith.

Worrying about anything but A&M right now is just foolish.

When you're watching film and you see other tight ends doing well against them, you lick your chops a little bit.

We develop scenarios based on things that are fairly current in the real world, but the schedule is set way in advance.

The only way to determine whether those requirements have been met -- I mean the first step -- is obviously to see what they told the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court. But that's exactly where you run into the first catch-22.

So if you cover five miles and you're lifting your same body weight to cover that five miles, at the end of the five miles, you've done the same amount of work.

(Men's Fitness magazine) came to conclusions by a variety of different methods but it is really just a marketing tool.

Obviously I think we missed Adam being 100 percent-especially on the press break. For some inexplicable reason we missed a lot of shots early. I think their quickness bothered us.

Nick's awesome. He's such a nice guy. He's one of the hardest working guys on the team.

I workout two times a day and everything has been going great. I'm ready to get to Indianapolis and show the NFL teams what I can do on the field and what kind of person I am off the field. I've heard that it is basically a four-day job interview, but thanks to the preparation I received from my family and from all of the people at Texas, I feel pretty confident.

I'm always going to be a little undersized, but as long as I can work hard and prove that I'm strong, I think I'm going to be fine. Teams that can use a receiving tight end can use me.

I got a fastball across the middle on the homer. I'll take some hacks. After the first inning, I'm not really a lead-off man. I've got to try to drive guys in just like anyone else.

He does such a good job on Saturdays that nobody knows who he is.

We think (acquiring Whistle) is a very important acceleration of our focus of bringing e-business to small businesses around the world.

He's a great player and I've been with him this long. To stick with him would be great.

Going to Jones Stadium, I saw a lot of crazy things there. It was always fun growing up and watching Tech, but I was always a Texas fan.

I think that our familiarity with the hotel and the practice facilities will be really helpful. It will take a lot of stress out of the trip having experienced this all before. Los Angeles is Southern California's backyard, but we have been here and sort of know what to expect now.

It is an honor to play in this game. The meaning of the game is what makes it so special and I'm just excited to be here.

I saw more uncalled contact tonight than I've seen all year. But to our credit, our guys didn't lose their cool and never fell apart.

Our physical activity is no longer a requirement and people rely on machines as a major source of transportation.

Physical activity is a requirement for good health so if you are physically active, you are going to be healthy and if you are healthy, you are going to learn better.

That doesn't mean that everybody who has at one time exercised is going to be a brilliant person. But if you are a somewhat intelligent person, you have the capacity for learning and you're an active person, who's a healthy person, you're going to do better at your learning.

That BCS stuff is out of our hands. All we can do is come and play hard every game and keep winning ballgames.

That was the hardest part for him, but it was really good for him because it made him grow up.

You know, $2 trillion is a lot. Even at his current pace, it would take Kobe Bryant more than 74 billion games to take 2 trillion shots.

We've been working together for (three) years, and we had a lot of chemistry and trust in each other. Now we're continuing to push each other.

When the rankings came out in the preseason, that's something that we thought about that would be fun to do at the end of the year. We thought it would be cool to both go undefeated and play each other.

When 'Cats' first came out it was unlike any musical we had ever seen. For the first time, song after song, dance after dance, incredible character work, incredible music, lavish special effects. I believe it changed musical theater forever.

We just really want to patiently stand with them as they figure it out. We have prepared to accommodate 250 guests.

You enjoy the win and move on. The next game is always the most important. . . . But we did raise a few eyebrows. We went into the Horseshoe, and we won at night.

Vince is the catalyst that gets us all going.

Everything has been moving so fast since we got back from Los Angeles. But, this is a great opportunity to showcase your talent for a lot of NFL scouts and organizations, and I think I've been playing pretty well.

Everybody thinks everything comes easy to him. But if you saw how hard he worked in the off-season, he's not your typical quarterback. Most quarterbacks are watching everyone else do the work. He's right in the mix.

Everybody is always worried about executives' laptops and all of the data that is on them, and what would happen if that laptop were to get stolen. And now essentially it doesn't even matter if it were physically stolen or not.

As soon as I walked out of that tunnel, they knew exactly who I was.

Every year we've come to California, it's been raining. But we get all our practices in, and it's been fun.

I've been amazed at how many cases we've been able to turn over to prosecuting attorneys.

Something's better than nothing, more is better than something, but too much can also be damaging.

During the day they make a big difference. When you glance up in the sky when the ball is coming, it's a lot clearer.

Coach Leach was the first one to offer me a scholarship. I'll never forget him.

This is a week I look forward to every year.

They run to the ball really well, but that also allows the tight end to sit behind a little bit in play action.

They're our biggest rival and all that stuff, and then you hear every year, this is the year, it really was disappointing. But to finally get over the hump and to win the Big 12 title and now be here has been a lot of fun. We've really enjoyed the ride.

There's a reason they've won 34 games. We're a veteran team .... we'll embrace the role of underdog in their home town.

It's just little things, like knowing where we're at in the hotel, or knowing where things are when we get to the practice facility. Just being comfortable with everything is really key for us, to know what's coming up next and not have any surprises.

It was quite a high school basketball game. If I had been a fan, I would have found it to be a very entertaining game.

It's a great loop and a great way to now bring the race to the people. One of the problems we have here is that people don't come out and support cycling like in the other islands we have been to. This way, we are actually bringing the race to them. Even if you don't want to come out to it, you can now stand on your porch and get to see the race.

It's pretty simple. We believe in our quarterback. And he believes in us.

It's a matter of what is right for the horse without chasing the money. Greg being suspended has thrown another spanner in the works. We're not sure which way to go. I'll talk to Roger on the phone tonight.

It will be really big for us to know the ropes. We know the practice facilities and we know what's going on because we've been there. I think that will be big for us in that we can go there ... without being too wide-eyed and not see it as a vacation. I think we will go there and get to work.

They've got so many good players, they're all so talented and they put out so many guys into the NFL that they kind of have that aura about them.

It's referred to as a positive addiction in that case because the result is that it makes you do something that's good for your body as long as you don't become obsessive with it. If you get obsessive, then it's not positive, but if you get desire to want exercise on a regular basis, and you keep it sane, then that's very positive.

That's an important game for us. Victory Christian only has one loss in league, so if we can win that game, there will be three teams with two losses chasing Waldorf going into the second round.

In a nutshell our agreement is superior in every respect for Allied Domecq shareholders.

I just remember how much fun it was. The week leading up to the game was a blast. The game was unbelievable. It was something I'll never forget.

He's smart and savvy. I thought he was one of the governor's better appointments.

He's the best big-game player I've ever seen.

I don't really know. I think we're at least going to exceed what's being spent in the office.

But Vince was insisting that as long as there was time on the clock, we had a shot. He was right and he was the one who took us there.

I definitely know that in addition to the general policies of the Navy, there are individuals on board who are really dedicated to it, go beyond what the baseline rules are.

I believe it would be a waste of time to continue with the present application for a reasons exception.

I don't necessarily think Chicago is the fattest city.
