Amazing. There's just no other word for it. Amazing.
Alfred takes Darrell Royal down to the south end zone, tried to take him through the band and everything,'' Jack recalled.
I just enjoy being along for the ride.
I'm happy for Mack. No one can talk about him not winning a conference title anymore. And hopefully we'll be able to stop talking about how Texas hasn't won a national title since way back when.

I used to care more about the score than I do now.
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
