Brought Quotes
When it comes to a game as big as a Super Bowl and plays can go either way, you never want to have that happen. But that's something that you have to live with, as a player or a coach, knowing that it is going to be weighed on a person's judgment. That's why they brought in replay, to try to take away some of the error in judgment by the referees. But you can't go back and fix everything. You really want to make more plays than the other team so you don't have to worry about the referees coming into play.

Leaders And Leadership Quotes
We're all professionals here -- been there, done that. We have leaders in this locker room. It really doesn't matter. If they brought him back, we'd still have a job at hand to do. . . . We believe we can get it done. We just came off a Super Bowl season, so why wouldn't we think that?
-
Came Quotes
We don't see that with Oregon. Oregon's come here with a great attitude. When Hayden Fry came in here with Iowa, he always said their goal was to go to the Rose Bowl first, but if they couldn't, he preferred coming to the Holiday. I think the Pac-10 and Big 12 feel that way now. I don't see it as a problem.
-
Attend Quotes
We generally attend three battle reenactments in the spring and three in the fall. Most years we attend a national event, which is kind of like the Super Bowl of reenacting. Numbers attending those events can easily exceed 10,000 soldiers like myself, complete with cavalry and artillery.

Build Quotes
We'll get into a bowl game with six wins and we'll win a minimum six games even though right now I'm hoping we go 10-1, ... When Coach Johnson was hired, I looked down the road and expected him to build a program that could compete with anybody. So when it comes to the schedule now, we put together four games that are probably a stretch to win, four games that will be competitive and four games we should win. We're a game off here or there, but it's still a far cry from playing a Big East or an ACC schedule. That won't happen.

Definitely Quotes
When you're older, it's harder to stay in this game and play at a Pro Bowl level. I definitely feel it was one of my better years, if not the best. Experience definitely helps, realizing you don't have to rely so much on bulk, mass and strength. You can rely on what you've learned over the years and you can be just as effective.
-
Along Quotes
We were all of the mind that if you took care of one game at a time and played hard, anything was possible. I'm not going to tell you we knew we were going to go to the Super Bowl because I don't know that you ever know that, but as the season went along you got the feeling that something special was happening.
-
Dug Quotes
Wall Street has a lot of football fans. The Super Bowl indicator might be fun, but I'd put more credence into astrologic market predictors. Any correlation between the stock market and the Super Bowl that can be dug up is just coincidental. There's no way the outcome of the football game has any effect on the stock market.
-
Common Quotes
We learned how to handle it in the future. You get a good strong nucleus of teammates get together and talk to the guy. You sit him down and say, ?we understand you have problems with them but our common goal is to win football games and to be a Super Bowl team and then we all get what we want.
-
Against Quotes
There are a lot of guys who might be the best, but I'd have to say Chris McAlister. I've played against him a few times and honestly he gets better each time I face him. He just seems to keep maturing in their system, and he's a talented guy. He's a guy who was voted to the Pro Bowl about one or two years later than he deserved to be because he's someone who they can put on the other team's best receiver and just expect him to hold that guy in check.

Advanced Quotes
While our advanced color enhancement tools are leaders in feature film work, they have long been powerful solutions for commercial and television post work as well, delivering flexible, intuitive control and unmatched toolsets that enable the type of creative vision typified by Super Bowl spots. The 2K Plus is designed to enable realization of just the right look and feel, and we enjoyed seeing the results of Nice Shoes' creative efforts as we watched the big game.

Against Quotes
When I was here in 2002, I took real mental notes on what Barry and his staff did in getting ready for the bowl (the Alamo Bowl against Colorado). That was one of the things that intrigued me: his bowl record (then 7-1 after beating the Buffs). I think both Mike and Barry have great plans for bowl games. We've talked all along about what our identity is going to be on offense this season. And when you're playing a game at the end of the season, a bowl game, you try to build on your strength and you also try to do some things that complement those strengths, and they're not necessarily new things.

Advertising Quotes
When people talk about Super Bowl dynasties they mention the 1970's Steelers, 1980's 49ers, 1990's Cowboys and the current New England Patriots, but nobody has dominated the Super Bowl like Anheuser-Busch. In recent years, Budweiser has been the MVP of Super Bowl advertising -- making another company the favorite to win the Ad Meter poll was never an option.

Definitely Quotes
Truthfully, I mean, it was a combination of both, ... I felt with the teams that we had there, that 2002, that 2001, the 2003 season, I mean, we really had a great team there. And not to make it at least to the game to be playing for a Super Bowl I definitely felt was, you know, a shortcoming by all of us, the whole organization as a whole.

Bowling Quotes
There are little incentives when you bowl in a league, like side pots, high game pots and 30 Clean pots, so I have the motivation to bowl better. Whether I'm bowling in league or a big tournament, I try to have fun. Any time I go do that, I go in and try to incorporate practice into my game. I work on being consistent and making spares.
-
Brings Quotes
When you look at the overall picture, Tulane brings their staff in from all over the place. And they haven't played in this stadium. Everyone's very appreciative of the help that the Independence bowl people are giving. A lot of the people involved, running the game operations, have never been in that stadium. But if we're organized, we'll be able to minimize the glitches.

Add Quotes
We were talking at a very high level of conversation about principles and values. It's another thing to come up with real solutions. I'm only speaking personally, but if the solution they come up with is only to add a fifth bowl and a little more access, that is not a successful resolution of the issues.
