You're talking apples and oranges now. Cincinnati came up and beat us in '83. Cincinnati should have beaten Ohio State the year they won the national championship (2002).
They took it. Nobody pouted. The captains got them together and all's well that ends well.
I had a little (problem) with the university toward the end of last year and they were concerned about what was going to happen. I said, 'Look, everybody relax. If I can keep my staff together, we will surprise a lot of people. Everybody just relax.' Thank goodness I had enough clout that I could get them to relax.
I thought we showed some greatness last night.
It's a little different what you are doing in practice and when you are in a ballgame and want to make an extra yard and you get a little bit careless with the football. That should come with experience.

I think we're gonna be ready to play.

He could play, but the doctors think there could be some nerve damage if he bangs that elbow again. It's not worth the risk. He's too good of a football player with too much ahead of him to take that kind of chance. It's a big loss for us because he's one of the great players in America. He and Michael Robinson are probably the two guys who turned the program around. That and the fact that we're still playing good on defense.
I was thinking 'When are we going to get this thing over. I looked at my watch at one point and it was three hours past my bedtime and we were still playing.
Keep hustling, something good will happen,
Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy.
Success is best measured by the achiever.
You have to learn to pace yourself and learn what you do well.
