Bowl Quotations | Page 7

The team's support (for the Super Bowl bid) will be determined by the outcome of our lawsuit.

The Super Bowl tickets, that's the worst headache. I'm glad they gave us the week off. You really need a couple of days. They say you lose family members over the Super Bowl and I can see why because everybody in the family didn't get tickets. They're mad at me now. That's when I realized we were going to the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl remains the premier advertising showcase of the year. You can't ignore it.

The Super Bowl presented a great opportunity for us to reach an enormous audience with news of Blockbuster Online's expanded in-store benefits.

The Super Bowl is the single largest advertising platform in the world.

The Super Bowl is The Show. That's all that everybody is going to talk about for the next two weeks. And when you get there, it makes you appreciate that there are a lot of great players in this game who've never gotten the opportunity to play on the biggest stage.

The Super Bowl is the perfect medium for us,

The Super Bowl is such a corporate event that even the crowd doesn't have the same intensity.

The Super Bowl is over, Hurricane Katrina is finished, there are no hurricanes brewing in the Gulf. This will be big until the next big event.

The Super Bowl is one of those television events like the Academy Awards that really dominates and monopolizes the audience.

The Super Bowl is much more than a game, and this is certainly a component of that.

The Super Bowl is helping out. It's nice that people are bringing some money into Detroit.

The Super Bowl is becoming big business for retailers. In addition to purchasing hats and snacks, consumers will be purchasing high-end merchandise, like TVs and entertainment centers, which quickly raises total spending figures.

The Super Bowl is a unique opportunity to bring one of the world's largest sporting events and promotional platforms together with Cadillac, the iconic American luxury brand. The Super Bowl is an exceptional platform to showcase the all-new 2007 Escalade and the entire Cadillac portfolio while reaching one of the largest and most relevant audiences.

The Super Bowl is as big a holiday promotion like Thanksgiving, as far as generating sales.

The Super Bowl is an international event. The majority of people watching it is watching it for the entertainment. What we really want to do is put on the very best show we can for our viewers.

The Super Bowl is a long, long ways away. I don't think they're looking at it that way, and we aren't. We just trying to improve and play better this week than we did last week.

The Super Bowl is about generating impressions as much as anything else. We feel we've achieved our milestone.

The Super Bowl hat. Those are really fun. With the ring to go along with it, too.

The Super Bowl has been the ignition for downtown Detroit to have its revitalization. Property values are rising already.

The Super Bowl has become an excuse to party. It has become a part of our culture. We as a society are looking for ways to affiliate with others. We're very social creatures. People have found a way to link up with other people who share a common bond. The TV is inside, and it's cold outside. That's where people want to be. People get together and consume the event together.

The Super Bowl has always been the most bet on sporting event of the year. Now online gambling has significantly expanded the marketplace and that means without a doubt this year's Super Bowl will be the most wagered on event in history.

The Super Bowl doesn't turn a trailer park city into a gleaming palace overnight.

The Super Bowl certainly pays respect to the host city, but it's certainly bigger than the host city.

The Sugar Bowl cup, the original cup, believe it or not, was still there. We quickly left with that.

The success of our creative is driven by the right blend of humor with a memorable message that resonates with a wide audience. Everyone can relate to working with a bunch of monkeys on some level. We appreciate the honors and look forward to building on the momentum we created this year in 2006 as we tackle the Super Bowl and other major events once again.

The thing that's weighing on the stock market is the bond market, ... That's because bond investors are convinced the party in the economy is getting too boisterous, the (Federal Reserve's) going to come in and take the punch bowl away, and I think that might keep stocks under wraps here.

The thing I enjoy most about quiz bowl is that it is both a team and an individual competition. Even though you compete as a team, a whole game can change based on the random knowledge of one person.

I've been a fan forever. My brother lives here, so when the bowl was announced I said, 'God is telling me to go to Phoenix.

I've been around here 10 years, and I don't want to be one of those guys that all of a sudden just loses it. I'm at the point in my career where I want to win first. If we go to the Super Bowl and I have 15 catches, that's fine with me. But we're not doing that right now.

So, obviously, first comes the AFC West. The goal is to win playoff games, but the division is first, ... You can do it other ways, and we have won a Super Bowl as a wild card, but the statistics show there is no question, being at home gives you an advantage.

Teams are starting to give us some respect. But we're not there yet. We've just got to keep improving. We know what losing feels like, that it's a bad thing. We know what winning's like, that it's a good thing. The next step is to go from a good bowl game to a BCS bowl. If we win our division, we're going to Jacksonville in December to play for a BCS bowl.

If we win our division, we're going to Jacksonville in December to play for a BCS bowl.

Some times bowl games give offenses a chance to go out and do some things they haven't done and shown all year. We've got to be prepared defensively to make adjustments early in the game.

Right now, we're not hitting on all cylinders. We have a lot of young kids who have to learn how to bowl like seniors. That's a lot to ask sophomores to do but we're bowling well under certain conditions.

Right now we're not executing. I'm not sure if it's because New England is used to playing against a similar defense with Miami being in their conference. We weren't executing and they were. I see why they're Super Bowl champs.

Randy wasn't the reason we didn't win a championship. Randy had a Pro Bowl effort every year. But I do think we'll do better than we did last year. Not because Randy isn't here. I just think our defense is going to be better. That's why we'll be better.

Ray's the best, but for me I'm fired up because this is the Baltimore defense. They won the Super Bowl five years ago. You get hyped up playing a team that has been to where you want to go. Any time you do well against them, it makes your team look that much better.

Probably 99 percent (of Super Bowl fans) are having beer. But there are some awesome wines that go with wings, nachos and chili.

Our seniors can still finish 4-0 in bowl games if we win the Fiesta. That's huge incentive for us.

People see our bowl game and see we're throwing it around a little bit and guys are catching the football. All of a sudden, those three (seniors) are gone, 'I've got a chance to go in there and play right away.' That's always a good thing.

People simultaneously infected with human and avian influenza strains could become a mixing bowl for the disease,

People expect to find an array of really delicious food. They also come expecting to find that one perfect bowl that fits their personality. People spend a long time searching for 'their' bowls.

Of course, the Super Bowl was a huge disappointment. We were one game away from winning the world championship. The way we played against Chicago was embarrassing.

No question the success and bowl exposure we've gotten has taken us to another level. The bar is set higher and we are going after better players. Four years ago, we couldn't go head-to-head with Rice and New Mexico for a recruit.

No question, there's something for momentum week to week. Not many teams have gone to the Super Bowl without that.

No question. I felt, a couple of those years, we had the best team, that was the sad part. All three years, I felt we had the better team (better than the three eventual Super Bowl winners).

Advertisers for the Super Bowl tend to be willing to pay a reasonable premium to reach a special audience. We don't have Olympic viewing parties. Pretty much to me, that says it all. This happens every four years. But it seems that the Super Bowl and Olympics somehow find a way to co-exist.

After a surprising Divisional Playoff weekend, I anticipate more excitement and for two more riveting games to be played before the Super Bowl contenders are decided.

After all the bold talk, it's a slap on the wrist that can be paid with just 7.5 seconds of Super Bowl ad time, ... This decision sets a puzzling precedent by failing to hold all licensees responsible for the material broadcast over their stations. Why announce such a thorough investigation, if we just let some of the stations that broadcast this material completely off the hook?

After careful thoughts and prayers, I have decided to forgo my senior season at Auburn to pursue my dream of a career in the NFL. I returned home following the bowl game and had long talks with my parents and prayed a lot about my future. I also received the coaches' input and weighed that into my decision. I feel like this is the right opportunity for me to take my game to the next level." ()

Adam, which was your best kick -- the one in the Snow Bowl or the one against Tennessee?

Spending all that money for a one-day hit is a fool's errand. If you're smart, you use your Super Bowl presence to feed your business through the rest of the year.

Once when I hit a boundary off Kumble over extra cover, he came to me and asked: where should I bowl to you?

Once your bowl game is over this is what you work for. That's why I want to come here and compete. I don't want to delay it any longer. I'm ready to get back to doing some football-type things instead of working on mainly these drills.

Actually, I was on my recruiting trip to ASU that same weekend. I remember going to the NFL Experience there when I was on my recruiting trip. It was kind of good for ASU because I was down there with the Super Bowl and everything was going on in the town, so I kind of thought that's how ASU was.

Coach Casey took us where we wanted to be. We went to the second round of the playoffs his second year and his third year we went to the Lion's Bowl in Ackerman and won it. Most of those (Ackerman) guys were Woods' old players.

And then the NFC championship game against Philadelphia (Jan. 27, 2002) that got us to our second Super Bowl (XXXVI). The atmosphere. The crowd. And then the hardships I've had there, like when I dislocated my knee and was looking at a potential career-ending injury. It's a great sport town.

An old poet said, 'It's better to go to the Rose Bowl and lose than not to have gotten there at all.' What I want to do is keep going out there (to Pasadena) until we win one of those things.

Anytime a guy experiences failure, you always wonder. You've got to put him back up on the horse after it throws him off and see what happens. We did, and he gained that confidence back, and I think at the end of the year when he really played well in the bowl game, it came out, and it showed.

As far as Randy not being here, personally, he's a close friend of mine and we spent a lot of time together, so it's definitely a little bit different in that sense. But time moves on. We have a goal to be NFC champions and Super Bowl champions. We don't have time to sit and worry about who was here last year and who's not here this year.

As a team we expect to be above everything. Our goal is not just the Vegas Bowl but even higher. With the players and the leaders that we have on this team, we have a good chance of doing it.

As coaches, we approach any game the same, whether it's a bowl game here or in Atlanta or New Orleans. But the thing we want to do is to make sure the guys enjoy it and have fun. It's supposed to be fun.

As a university, as a football program, we don't condone any type of activities such as that. Certainly, I think, that detracts from a great bowl game and what the spirit of college football is all about.

As a team we've got to take more risks and he's (Botha) a guy who wants to bowl in tough situations.

As a huge college football fan, the president is looking forward to the Rose Bowl and pulling hard for the Texas Longhorns.

The bowls know what they know. And the selection process is sacrosanct. We may get disappointed, but that is the nature of the bowl system.

The boys know we need to win this one to make life easier. Jake's okay to bat but I don't think we'll see him bowl for a while yet.

Awake! for Morning in the Bowl of Night Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight: And Lo! the Hunter of the East has caught The Sultan's Turret in a Noose of Light

Bacchus drowns within the bowl - Troubles that corrode the soul

Athletics are an outreach and are very visible, more so than some other areas of the school. I watched them play in the Clinic Bowl in 1960. I heard about the success of its athletic program before I found out about how good the education was.

That was 1988, and this is 2005. I don't think about it every day, but every Super Bowl week that comes up you start thinking about that, or, if you see something on TV or ESPN or read something. It's part of history.

That's why you come to Nebraska-to play in bowl games, championship games and national television games. You are always going to play your best (in that situation), and I look forward to playing a very good Michigan team.

That's why we're trying to be leaders and make sure that it doesn't happen the way it did the last bowl game where all of the seniors left and all the older guys went to the NFL. They didn't let the young guys know how important it was to keep this thing going.

That's not how we operate. As a football program, we don't condone activities such as that. Obviously, it detracts from the bowl game and what the spirit of football is all about.

That's great for the city of El Paso and the Sun Bowl. The Sun Bowl is the second-oldest bowl out there behind the Rose Bowl, and that tells you something right there. A lot of bowl games have come and gone since the Sun Bowl has been around.

Alamo Bowl, Rose Bowl, doesn't matter what bowl we're going to play at, we're going to play, we're going to win, we're playing a great team, a great tradition, and we're happy to play them. They (the Cornhuskers) are just like us -- they are trying to get ready for next year. And this game is going to decide that. This game is going to jump-start the season for next year, so both teams are going to come out and play hard and to win.

Albert's performance was something we should see from Albert every week. Sometimes he does it, and sometimes he doesn't. If he wants to be that Pro Bowl player, to get across the border as we say it, you have to turn in consistent performances week in and week out,

Alex Smith is under no illusions as to why he was chosen where he was. It's not for him to go out there and make the Pro Bowl. That organization brought him in to bring a world championship to the city of San Francisco. Anything short of that, then that quarterback didn't fulfill the expectations of the organization. That's a tremendous burden. No one who's ever won a Super Bowl has ever done it by himself.

You're playing in the Super Bowl -- it just doesn't get any better than that.

You walk into that (practice) facility and see those Super Bowl trophies, and it reminds you every day.

You take the middle of last year to the bowl game, ... he was probably as good as anyone in the country.

You show up every year, you work your butt off, and it's only for one thing. You do it all to try to get to the Super Bowl and win it. That's what keeps you going. You always think you have a chance.

You never know, it could happen. But I really believe with the coaches we have here and the players recruited here, we won't let that happen. We always try hard to make a bowl game because that's always one of our goals and we'll always make it.

You never can forget a guy that you went to the Super Bowl with. It's sort of a connection you'll always have. I wasn't here when things went awry for Kurt in St. Louis. But my memories of him are nothing but positive ones. And I just wish him the best in Arizona.

You're always concerned about that. As I've told our players, half of our young men haven't played in a bowl game either, and of the half who haven't, there are an awful lot of them who are playing and starting. It is a big, big day in the history of South Florida to play in their first bowl. Hopefully, we can make it a day that they won't want to remember.

You no longer really have to record the Super Bowl because you can get all the commercials on AOL the next day.

You play all year to get to a bowl game. You'd rather be playing for a national title, but this is a great step for us in getting this team back to where it belongs.

This is going to be their bowl game. We are going to be ready to go. That's my pledge, to our players, and the people who support our program. We are going to be working hard to get prepared.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience the Super Bowl from a totally unique perspective.

This is another exciting element of Sprint's Super Bowl XL sponsorship reserved for our customers. Last year, Sprint introduced the first wireless music store in the United States. We want our customers to be able to replay the fantastic songs from the halftime show whenever they want.

This is not good news. That should take the punch bowl away for today.

This is not a one-year stint; they laid the foundation for our football program to move forward. My biggest disappointment is for those guys because I wanted them to complete the experience, to be a bowl champion, not just a bowl participant. It's something that hasn't been done around here for 27 years. We'll be back.

This is really a great prize -- all the bowl games, flying on a private jet, staying in nice hotels. I'm a big college football fan so I'm looking forward to seeing some great games. I still can't believe I won. My sons put me in front of the computer almost a dozen times to register, and luck took care of the rest.

The whole city (Los Angeles) gives you the impression of impermanence. You have the feeling that one day someone is going to yell. "Cut! Strike it!" and then the stagehands will scurry out and remove the mountains, the movie-star homes, the Hollywood Bowl - everything.

This bowl has lived up to all the hype that I heard of it. Coaches...that have been here rave about the hospitality, rave about the venue and all the activities for the players. The people here have been marvelous. The bowl committee has bent over backwards to make sure that our stay is an excellent one. The players have something to do if they choose every day. You couldn't find a better place.

This agreement was essential in keeping the Orange Bowl Committee as a major player within the bowl system.

American Exodus: The Dust Bowl Migration and Okie Culture in California

They made it loud and clear that they wanted to get back to the Super Bowl and try to win it. That's what I am trying to. I have never won a Super Bowl, never won any championship in my life. Always came in second.
