Mack Brown Chance Quotations

When you're 1-10 it's a hurtful period. It's not who makes fun of you because you feel worse about yourself. It's because someone gave you a chance to run their program, and you aren't running it very well. That's what you're proud of for Texas, that they've asked you to do something and you've gotten it to this point.

I think when I get through and I'm gumming my food, it will mean a lot ...

We've got a chance to be really good and we haven't played near our best game yet. We told our guys we can play much better than this and we'll have to continue to grow as a team, but the fun thing is were 4-0 and we don't think we've scratched the surface.

I've told them if you get in trouble, you probably won't play. What an awful thing for you to make a 15-second mistake that cost yourself a chance to play or win a national championship.

This game has kept us from having a chance to go forward, ... That's why this game is important, that we can keep working and keep growing.

Oklahoma has been really good. They've done a tremendous job. They've beaten everybody else, not just us. They've probably cost us a chance at two or three national championship runs.

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 think this team hasn't played its best game yet, and that's the exciting thing, sitting here 5-0, ... We can improve in so many areas, and that's why I think we've got a chance to be special before the year is over, just as long as we keep growing and don't get complacent.
