Bill Byrne Quotations

Coach Blair's team showed marked improvement last year and judging by the way his team is practicing, I see that success continuing. He is a wonderful representative for Texas A&M and women's basketball, and I'm proud to have him as our coach.

There is no reason for any coach to leave Texas A&M University. We have the support; we have resources and the facilities to be champions in every sport we field. Basketball is certainly no different.

If you look at what we've got represented now on both the men's and women's side, we have some of the better athletes from Texas. It's not rocket science.

My goal is to make Texas A&M a destination. Billy is the perfect fit here. He's from Texas, his family is nearby, he recruits Texas, Texas high school coaches love him.

It's an old guitar; it's kind of beat up, but there are just so many memories in it.

We wanted to do what we could to help. We'll treat your athletes just like they were our own.

This is a program that can be successful in absolutely everything that we do. There are two flagship universities in the state of Texas. One is in the state capital, and the other is in College Station. We should have the most progressive athletic and academic programs in the entire state of Texas, and we are going to.

We had similar situations with the Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears and they responded quickly with our requests to stop using our Twelfth Man trademark. But Seattle has been slow-rolling us.

We have spent last couple of days reviewing many options about playing this football game. Our first objective was the safety of our student-athletes, staff and fans, while still being able to contribute to the community efforts relating to Hurricane Rita.

The priorities are keeping people out of dangerous situations and being able to help others who may need some assistance from our community.
