We've been living in this bowl. And then Katrina broke channels into the bowl, and the bowl filled. And now the bowl is connected to the Gulf of Mexico. We are going to have to close those inlets and then pump it dry.

We need to get some of these big games in the Orange Bowl first.

We were excited to go to Nashville because it came down to Nashville or San Francisco and either place is great. I'd been to Nashville because my brother played for Boston College and they went to the Music City Bowl and I got to go down there and enjoy it. I told the guys it should be a good environment to spend a bowl game.

While this is a tremendous honor for Warren, it also says a little something about what we are trying to build in the organization. We hope that as we hoist the Super Bowl trophy Sunday, we can point to Warren and say, 'Hey, good on you, too.'.

While the Super Bowl is one of the most watched events on television and people pay particular attention to the advertising itself, you can extend your brand messaging by delivering your commercials in other formats. By offering our commercials and others exclusively on Sprint TV, we hope to once again position the wireless device as the 'third screen' for entertainment, news and information.

While the Super Bowl gets a broad audience, not to mention a large one, there are more effective ways to reach women.

You can't come out against the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and make that many penalties, ... They won't beat themselves. Granted, they lost two coordinators, but they haven't changed.

We all understand the economics of the Super Bowl - 10 or 12 minutes of the ball in motion will be stretched into three and a half hours or more of money-making commercials.

We all learn from each other and it's not really who's name is in the headline. It doesn't matter to me whose name is in the headline when we get to a bowl game; it's just that we get there.

We all knew it was bowl game or bust. As seniors, it was our goal.

We all have the Super Bowl ring on our finger -- all four teams. It's just a matter of who's going to let someone else take it off. At the end of the day, there's going to be one team out of the four that keeps that ring.

We've got a great opportunity here to get everyone focused so the city shines on Super Bowl Sunday and beyond.

We have a chance to be a little more competitive. We have to play the Super Bowl champ twice and Cincinnati, a playoff team, twice. And Baltimore is still tough. We're in a tough division, and, hopefully, with the guys we added, we can be competitive. We know it won't be easy.

Those two events were very critical to the country. You may remember that people were afraid to go, afraid to fly. When the Super Bowl and then the Olympics came off successfully, people in the country gained confidence again.

This was our Super Bowl and the girls responded very well. And it was good that we made some key free throws down the stretch.

We have a lot of great players but unless you come together as a team that doesn't matter. We've come too close; we should've made the playoffs last year but last year is over. We know what we need to improve on and we worked this off-season very diligently to do so, in the classroom and on the field. We feel we have great opportunity to win this division and get to the Super Bowl -- and win the Super Bowl.

We have a bit to go from going to a bowl game every year to trying to win a national championship. But we're building. We're getting the talent where you don't have to put 50 pounds on them in order for them to play. We're improving from year-to-year and week-to-week.

We knew coming into the bowl game that Kansas is a great team.

Unbelievable. He has two national championship rings. First year (in the NFL), he goes to a Super Bowl and a Pro Bowl. He's one of these guys that can handle it and he just takes it all in stride and knows what it takes to get here.

To have the story of the Super Bowl be the officials, that was crazy. I was more angry and frustrated by some of the calls that I was devastated.

You have to understand, we've played 82 games to get here; 82 games of playoff-type basketball. People talk about the pressure of being the hunted. Well, we've been the hunted since we were 8-0. It's been like our opponents' Super Bowl every time they play us. I think the regular season prepared us for what's at hand.

You have to give them respect, ... They're the reigning Super Bowl champs.

What everyone had to remember was this was an experimental year. They allowed the conferences to sort of mix their own bowl of soup.

Thunder Bowl Speedway, Reno-Fernley Raceway, and Rattlesnake Raceway in Fallon will all be purchasing equipment, and they need time to dismantle it and remove it from the facility before the bulldozers move in.

We just missed a lot of spares and didn't really bowl to our capacity.

We felt if we could get four sessions to bowl at them, then we'd be pretty healthy.

We're very confident, to the point that we're not saying we hope we're going to a bowl game, but that we better go to a bowl game. Last year, we only half said it.

User behavior on Super Bowl Sunday clearly demonstrates consumer demand for the online component of these commercials.

To me, it's more important to be home with my boys. The Super Bowl is a great event, but I've moved on with my life.

We are very proud of the academic progress we've made. I feel our program is as competitive both academically and athletically as any in the nation.

We went right to the Super Bowl on it. It was new. It was revolutionary.

Bring me A bowl of coffee before I turn into a goat

Everything to our players is new, unique, and exciting. When you've been to a bowl every year of your college career, by bowl three or four, you're like, 'OK, that's better than that bowl.' It becomes almost compare and contrast. Right now with us it's like every gift they receive, every event they're scheduled to go to, you see a genuine excitement on their face.

Everything to me is about team football, and if we keep winning Super Bowl trophies, I'll be fine.

Even though we lost, I still look at it like I'm a winner. It's always going to be remembered. We made it to a bowl game when everyone projected us to go last in the conference.

Every time a Super Bowl comes to South Florida, it's worth about $350-to-$400 million in economic impact. If we've got $350 million in '07 and another $350 million in '10, and it might be more than that, we're looking at ... $800 million in impact to South Florida, which is huge.

Everything's been such a whirlwind since the AFC (Championship Game). Everything's great -- just coming straight from the Super Bowl to the Pro Bowl and getting the congratulations from all of these other great players who have had great careers and great seasons, obviously. It's a blessing, that's for sure.

Everybody talked about giving Charlie Weis four weeks to prepare. That kind of upset me. What about giving coach Tress four weeks to prepare? He's four out of five in bowl games.

Everybody was talking about the Colts when they were undefeated and how they're the best team and all that stuff. You can't say a team is the best team until they (win) a Super Bowl.

Don't get me wrong, it's nothing to celebrate, it's nothing you want to be on the butt end of the jokes about. But it's kind of like losing the Super Bowl or the championship. In 30, 40 years, when somebody breaks his record, you know, nobody's going to remember who it was against.

Equality only exists in the food bowl of a dog.

February was always the cruelest month for Hunter S. Thompson. An avid NFL fan, Hunter traditionally embraced the Super Bowl in January as the high-water mark of his year. February, by contrast, was doldrums time.

There's such a great demand for sports. And the opportunity with the Super Bowl is one in which you're reaching an incredible audience that is actually engaged in the advertising.

There's something special about playing in the Fiesta Bowl, no doubt about it. The seniors have done so much here (becoming the first group to win four bowl games and tying a school-record with 43 wins as a class), I wanted to make sure we sent them out as champions.

There's no question Anthony belongs at this level, ... but there's some liabilities he needs to work on to be able to play in this conference, and to play against an SEC or Big 12 team in a bowl game. He could get away with it there, but I know for a fact if those things don't improve, he won't be able to get away with them in this conference.

There's lots of opportunity for the swimsuit franchise to make it even bigger without making it more frequent. We call it the Super Bowl of print. People will create ads just for this issue, just like they do for super bowl ads. If you add to the frequency, won't be as special.

There's nothing I want more for Jerome than to see him win the Super Bowl here in his hometown. It would be the perfect ending for a young man who has given his life to the sport of football.

I sit back and watch guys like Heath Miller coming in as a rookie and doing things like he has done, going to the Super Bowl and making plays. That is something to be proud about, a guy who played in the same conference as you. I know I can do it because I have a good work ethic.

I've been trying to get to the Super Bowl all these years both as a player and coach and I look across the field and see the team I played with for 10 years, a team I have fond memories of and some time invested in. I'm happy for their fans that they're at this point, but I hope they don't win on Sunday.

I've been looking forward to having eight to 10 sacks, something like that. And the goal as a team is just to win games, go to a bowl game and just play as good as I can.

I've been on the losing side of quite a few of these. That's what's driving me more than anything, not that the Super Bowl is in Detroit. It's an opportunity for us to do something we haven't done. We've been in this situation before and we lost.

It would need to have the Super Bowl every week to make it worth it, ... Why New Orleans believes it needs the Superdome to be a well known vacation city escapes me.

I understand the tickets are very limited, but I thought I had a shot because we did get them when the Super Bowl was here in '82, and that was also supposedly based on seniority.

The victory is significant because it carries on the tradition of past students. We have had tremendous success in the Turf Bowl and the younger students are well aware of this and work hard to carry on the tradition.

The Saints expect to play there so we think by the time the Sugar Bowl comes there won't be an issues. We're really looking forward to getting back to New Orleans.

I've seen fire, and I've seen rain. I've also had to scramble over tundra to get to the Super Bowl and seen baseball turf fields that could fry a fielder's soles.

I've reviewed it. That was certainly a different situation. We were a very experienced bowl team and we were hitting on all cylinders. Things got away from Northwestern a little bit.

I've received dozens of requests from media outlets wanting to see the rejected commercials. GoDaddy.com has nothing to hide. In fact, I think when you see our commercials many of you will wonder what all the fuss was about. You decide.

It would be the biggest event since Elvis. It will be huge. It will be a mini Super Bowl for the city.

It was the right call and I don't know how a Super Bowl could have been more meaningful.

It was tough for us to go down there and beat them. It was their first bowl game in a while and we didn't want to look like the chumps in the ACC before we even got there. It made us realize we could play with the ACC teams.

It was all for Jerome. We were going to fight for him. I'm just so happy for him. The way he ended his career, to win a Super Bowl in his own town, is a fairy tale come true.

It was an unbelievable moment. The Rose Bowl is the greatest bowl game there is. It was the greatest memory of my life.

The Senior Bowl backed off of him, which I thought was totally uncalled for; there was no reason for them to do that.

The storybook ending. You want to go out in the playoffs, hopefully in the bowl holding up that trophy at the end.

The Sprint Super Bowl XL Halftime Show garnered rave reviews. In conducting this unique poll to determine the fan-favorite song, we expect high participation from Sprint customers, who for years have already demonstrated an affinity for wireless data use.
