It's a great list - they're legends of the game, |
Let's face it, and I'm one of the few that will say it, (TCU) has stuck their nose up to us for a long time, |
Maybe stick their nose up is the wrong term. ... The respect they've got, they definitely earned it. This win gives us some respect back. |
My biggest disappointment ... is our tackling. It was horrendous. |
One of the things I wanted to see was us play hard, ... For whatever reason, we didn't play hard [against Tulane]. But we were focused the whole trip, and we practiced well last week. |
Our job is to go down and do everything in our power to win, ... I don't want to go down there and just be competitive. I want to win. Would I say we're an underdog? Probably so. But we were an underdog last week, too. |
People don't want to admit it, but TCU has sort of looked down at SMU, |
Pre-game pep talk before facing England: 'Look what these bastards have done to Wales. They've taken our coal, our water, our steel. They buy our houses and they only live in them for a fortnight every 12 months. What have they given us? Absolutely nothing. We've been exploited, raped, controlled and punished by the English - and that's who you are playing this afternoon |
Since I have been here, we haven't had any marquee wins, ... I told the players before the game, if you are going to get any respect in this business - it has to be earned. They (TCU) were coming off a very impressive win over Oklahoma, and we knew they were going to be good. People don't want to admit it, but TCU looks down at SMU. It was a win that will not only help the football program, but everyone associated with SMU. |

That's what I think. We've got to see what we're capable of doing. Obviously what we're doing right now is not consistent enough for us to win. |
The coaching just gets stronger and stronger, |
The players did not feel good about the way they played, |
They are a team very much like us and have played in some very close games. The team that makes the fewest mistakes and executes will win. |
They didn't want to be in a conference with us, and again, that's their right, |
