Bench Quotes
I think it's always great to win, especially when you're confidence is in the balance. We've played a tough, grueling schedule. Texas A&M Corpus Christi was ranked 53 in the RPI (ratings percentage index). They may not be a household name, but they're a good team. We've played some good folks and hopefully we'll benefit. We just had more enthusiasm tonight, and we really fought hard. And it's nice when the bench comes in and produces.

Brown Quotes
I think the impressive thing about this Texas class is the manner in which they got these kids. Most of them were committed prior to the season even starting and a good many of those were committed to coach Brown before the summer. Amazing. Things should get even better now that they are the national champs as they move forward.
-
Attracted Quotes
I think the idea that Texas is going to somehow suffer because it's not becoming like Massachusetts is silly. Texas is attractive for many people for the reason that it is not like Northeastern states. Those kind of traditional moral beliefs that provide children with both a mom and a dad are the reason that people are attracted to Texas. If you destroy that image, it would hurt Texas.
-
Area Quotes
I think the coaches at Missouri felt like a happier player is a better player and that's why they let Calcius talk to us. The D-line is an area where we are really lacking depth, so he could jump in there right away. He's bigger and stronger than he was when he left Texas a year ago and we've been very impressed with him so far.
-
Against Quotes
I thought we gave great effort against a very good Texas team. Our defense, in particular, played with great emotion. Offensively, we have to do a better job in the red zone. That was a concern after the Miami game and it is still a concern. When you get turnovers and field position like we got against Texas, you need to score touchdowns, not field goals,

Bass Quotes
It happens every year. The first warm spell of late winter triggers a fictional bass spawn on most East Texas lakes. The fishermen go wild, and the fish stay deep. I've been keeping records on when Rayburn bass make a major move to the beds. Without exception, it's the first couple of weeks of April. From about now until taxes are due is when the big females will move up on the beds. This is when fishermen have the best chance at catching a trophy bass.

Adding Quotes
Life throws up enough road blocks to keep you from writing; you can't be adding to them yourself by saying you can only write in one specific place. I'm in New York half the time and Texas half the time, and I work wherever - in my computer bag I have some foam ear plugs that I can put in.
-
Austin Quotes
I went to Austin to visit friends after Texas won the Rose Bowl. I went to their celebration at their stadium, and it was a sight to see. I watched Young to see how he would handle himself in that situation. I couldn't believe how charismatic he was. I watched him with the fans and with his teammates. I was so impressed.
-
Desire Quotes
I want to thank Frank McCourt for the opportunity to speak with him regarding his opening. I enjoyed speaking to him. However, I have indicated to Texas owner Tom Hicks my desire to remain with the Rangers. Therefore, I am withdrawing my name from consideration for the general manager's job with the Dodgers.

Amazing Quotes
Right now, Texas doesn't have an incentive to give filmmakers. (The Dallas movie) is a great example of what we're losing and what we're leaving on the table. And Dallas is just one picture. I hate to tell you how many films we're not getting that we'd like to get here, things that are going to be shooting in Massachusetts and Georgia, both of which just passed amazing incentives.

Becoming Quotes
Pizza Hut Park is clearly becoming a major destination for marquee soccer events in the United States, and we're pleased to host MLS Cup 2006 at one of America's great soccer facilities. The tremendous support by the entire soccer community in North Texas for MLS Cup 2005 makes Pizza Hut Park - one of the premier soccer complexes in the world - the perfect choice.
-
Alabama Quotes
Playing quality schools like Alabama and South Florida are always good to have on a schedule playing-wise. Conference games are definitely the most important. Stephen F. Austin and Texas State are some of the standout games, and we want to play them hard to garner the respect of the other top tier teams in the conference.

Addition Quotes
Part of our stated mission is that the Tyler Museum of Art exists as an educational and cultural center to enrich the lives of East Texas citizens. In addition to hosting tours for thousands of students each year, and working with area teachers to enrich their curricula, we host this exhibition to encourage and promote young talent.

Case Quotes
Our main goal now is to get it cleaned up and that is our next project. I am going to meet with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Now that the criminal case is resolved, we are hoping we can get them to be a little more responsive to helping Grayson County get that cleaned up.

Affect Quotes
Surveying these fields will provide information to get the big picture of how this fungus behaves in this part of the world. We know it's caused major losses in Asia and other parts of the world, but we don't really know how it will affect crops here. The weather and prevailing winds this spring will play a big role in what happens, but if South Texas bean crops have a rough year with soybean rust, there will be the potential for a bad year further north.
-
Both Quotes
Maryland has some good wins on their schedule, but doesn't have any great ones. But if Florida State is in and Texas A&M is in, then I think Maryland has to be in the discussion. I think people are going overboard saying Florida State and Texas A&M are automatically in because they both have the pelt of a big shot in the last week.

Class Quotes
I was happy with the way the district fell. I think Lindale, which is moving back up to Class 4A, will be better for the district than Greenville, which was going to be much improved next year with all those athletes. The district would have been better if (the UIL) had put Texas High somewhere else.
