Gary Barnett Quotations

Where I win is being able to cut straight through the defense.

Watch out for Missouri. Brad Smith -- he?s that good a player.

Web services are the mortar. But you also have to consider the bricks and the shape of the building.

What makes Jeremy so valuable are his mental toughness and competitiveness,

With what they're doing right now with no huddle, 95-plus plays a game. They're doing just what they should do, ... They give him the chance to have his hands on the ball 95 times a game. ... Shoot, man, that's smart football. Put the ball in his hands.

What went around, came around. Or something like that.

missing our running game; we need to cut it loose a little bit more. We're doing a lot of things I like, especially on defense. When you hold a team with an explosive offense to just one first down in a half of football, things obviously going your way.

If we're going to play this game, we both ought to make as much money as we can out of the deal,

I can just go out and play and relax, ... I'm not thinking; I'm playing more and reacting more.

But we've sputtered at times on offense, especially in the red zone. But at the end of the half, we picked up things there.

Frankly, if you've been in this business long enough, you sort of know, ... Everyone knows where we are in this situation. I don't have to provide further education in that deal, and Mike has stated publicly where he is. So, you go about doing your stuff and that's all there is to it.

frankly, I can't be in a position where that's an issue to me right now.

He's a gamer. He's a versatile runner with the ability to run between tackles and with the speed to get outside.

Katie was a girl. Not only was she a girl, she was terrible. And there's no other way to say it,

I think I said the wrong thing, the wrong way and at the wrong time,

I thought our defense was on the ball. We had a good plan and sort of knew what they were going to do. I thought we tackled well. They had one new formation for us, and only a couple of new plays. The kids adjusted to (those) pretty well.

I think we wish we played at the end of the year. Look at every other rivalry, and tell me why they play at the end of the year instead of the beginning. By the end of the year, everything's evened out.

I think we wish we played at the end of the year, ... Look at every other rivalry, and tell me why they play at the end of the year instead of the beginning. By the end of the year, everything's evened out.

I think we've all known all along that this was going to be a big game from the get-go. We're well aware of what this game means.

Just because you can be good doesn't mean you're going to be,

I think she was a distraction, because at the end of practice we would have 20 media members there to talk to a walk-on kicker who couldn't kick it through the uprights, ... That was an issue.

I think, if anything, we got a boost from the (Miami) game,

It all goes in cycles. There was a time when Nebraska, Kansas State and Colorado were all dominant teams. But if you look at last season, all those teams were extremely young. Now, we're all a year older.

That's what I need to do - become a complete playmaker, make plays happen from here on out. But I think I'm getting better as each game goes along.

Whoever wins this division is going to have to play well on the road and play well in the South. This game represents a big opportunity for both teams.

We have the kind of team that doesn't have any apparent weaknesses. We've gotten a little better and older at most positions.

Today, Vince Young was one heck of a football player, ... Everybody on our team has a great deal of respect for him. . . . The Texas offensive line did a great job of protecting Vince. He had plenty of time in the pocket, and we did not have much of a pass rush today.

We have not done anything wrong. There isn't a shred of evidence to back up any allegation that's been made, and there won't be.

We'll give them a chance and not play (Charles and Ellis) so much . . We'll use the other two or three and see what we've got.

We did not underestimate his throwing ability at all. His receivers made great plays, he made great throws and we didn't' get any pressure on him.

We don't have great speed at the receiver position, and I don't think there is anyone who is going to get a lot faster anytime soon.

We're not going to go down there two days early,

We shot ourselves in the foot too many times. Miami's a good physical team and they have great speed, but I thought we matched up decently. They just didn't make the mistakes.

We had a barn-burner. ... Give CSU a lot of credit to put together that last drive n the final 1:30. Mason Crosby is a very dependable guy, and sometimes the kids stand off to the side and watch him kick.

Finally, one of the lawyers said, 'Does anyone else have any other extenuating circumstances?' ... I raised my hand, and everyone in the group started laughing. Can you imagine if they told you I couldn't be here because I have jury duty? No one would have believed me.

This team is getting better. I'm pretty pleased. . . . We've got 10-11 practices left, but I'm satisfied with where we are.

What other sport do they sit around and talk about for all 12 months? They do it because of the BCS.

We have to discount the teams they have played and just look at their production. We have to figure that were playing a pretty good football team.

We are bringing a very confident team to Austin.

You don't know until you get five or six weeks in how it really sorts out,

We should have everything figured out by Friday. There's a possibility of a three-way tie for second.

Vince Young is just a wonderful football player.

Brian was a good player for us. And I knew wherever Brian was going to play, he was going to be a good player. He has great speed and good work habits, and he's an explosive player. So, that doesn't surprise me a bit.

bigger than New Mexico State was, or whoever is next. It's one of the 11 that you're guaranteed to get to play. You just want to do as well as you can.

Every time he gets the ball, I think he might take it all the way.

Everybody decided to get it done now because it may flare up and be worse later on,

At this level, you see a few guys with capes and S's on their chest. Vince Young is one of them.

continues ... to resist some recruiting changes and demonstrates an unproductive defensive attitude.

There's reputation, and then there's character. Character is something you build up over 33 years of coaching. I will rely on my character, and we will rely on the character of our program and continue to do what we do. That's all we can do.

I've been voting Texas No. 1, and I'm not going to change my vote.

It would be hard to comment on anything that my lawyer or myself haven't seen and have no real knowledge of.

The sport of lawn bowls is for the whole family.

I voted Texas No. 1 all season, and they did nothing to change my vote.

Sometimes you go down there wondering how good you are, and I think the players came away with a lot of confidence. They are disappointed - that was not a moral victory - but it was an encouraging performance by a lot of guys.

preparing us for Miami. Just what we needed.

Novell is keeping a promise it made last year to invest in delivering a desktop that is designed for the business user, rather than for experienced Linux users.

as good of a practice as we've had on a Wednesday. We had good spirit and executed very well. It feels like we're almost there.

That's not an area where we spend a lot of time recruiting in, so I don't see a lot of value there. Although, we are in Florida this year more than we've ever been. I don't know that you're really going to know the value of that stuff until later on ? whether it's valuable or not.

The way that it's coming across national, I don't think that's who I am.

Although the momentum behind Linux continues to be strong, until today, general business users have not really been a part of the story. With today's introduction of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, Novell is keeping a promise it made last year, to invest in delivering a desktop that is designed for the business user, rather than for experienced Linux users. Novell deserves credit for addressing the issue of usability head-on, by delivering a desktop that really can meet the needs of the basic knowledge worker.

There was no scheme in either one of those two games that was the difference in the game,

a bit of a squirrel derby trying to figure out all the things they're going to do.

It will be a challenge but we have some guys from Texas and I think all our guys are looking forward to it.

That kind of pressure can't drive you as a coach, ... You'll make bad decisions, do things the wrong way. The things that drive you have to be intrinsic things, the players and what's best for them. That's what drives you. You can't get caught up in all the other stuff.

It's so complicated, it's simple. You must tackle the guy. You've got to get the posse around him and get as many people to the ball as you can. That's the secret.

Everyone kind of pities us. But I don't want a pity party. I want to play football.

Everyone knows where we are in this situation, ... I don't have to provide further education in that deal, and Mike has stated publicly where he is. So, you go about doing your stuff and that's all there is to it.

The big inhibitor to reuse is not technical but knowing that something exists already and how to use it. Pockets of reuse are so exceptional that they are not statistically meaningful.

This is a valuable contribution to the Linux community that will help open-source developers benefit from Novell's research to create a better, more user-friendly desktop, ... Usability is a key requirement in order to drive the Linux desktop into the mainstream. This ... will help break down some of the barriers to mainstream Linux adoption on the desktop.

The net number of open source providers will carry on increasing for around five years before we start seeing consolidation.

I'm working it hard right now to get a guy ready for next year, we're working the young kids to try to develop one. We'll go recruit one if we have to.

If you express everything you do as a service, you will end up with the same old mess all over again.

I haven't officially done that yet. Until I tell Dominique he can play, he's not playing. We'll have a discussion. I expect that to go well, but I haven't released that to anybody yet.

I haven't gotten to the eager stage yet, ... I'm still in the thankful stage at this point in time. . . . Whoever plays Texas has got their hands full -- and it's us this week.

I probably operate best when someone's holding my head under water.

But you feel at the beginning that this is one of those games you have to go win.

Hopefully that kind of game is over for us this year since we had it last week.

He's the same kind of player (as Bloom) right now. He's got that kind of speed. He can take the top off the defense.

He's a once-in-a-lifetime player for a coach, at least at that position.

I can't afford that distraction . . . not going to let myself have it.

He's not doing anything in the secondary except running through it. We hope he spends a lot of time down in the secondary, but on the other side.

I can create machine-readable definitions for functions but they are useless if the developer does not know how to use them.

He probably throws the ball a little better than Vincent, but he doesn't run it as well yet,

All developers are looking to deliver as much value as they can to their buyers, with superior quality and great finishes and anything else we can think of. In the Avery, you will get athletics and art.

The easy thing to criticize Texas for in the past was they had so many stars, so many guys, there weren't enough balls to go around, ... But that doesn't seem to be the issue any more. They seem to have that team concept working for them and have done a great job with it. Texas is a real force.

All these games are going to be critical. It's sort of like a playoff scenario. All I know is I've got three of the five at home. I'd take four if somebody wants to give one up.

The letter is part of a strategy to prolong things.
