The student body was huge at UT and you had to mature pretty quick, very quick actually. I enjoyed it and it helped me a lot in my life in general - not only in the classroom but on the baseball field as well.
My only day off is the day I pitch.
He hit the ball so hard, I couldn't even turn around in time to see it go over the fence.
I wasn't scared (during his first at-bat). I just told them (Mo Vaughn & Kevin Mitchell') to give me all that hockey equipment (forearm pad & shin guard respectively).
Some of my finest memories are from my time at the University of Texas. College baseball, I love it.
I've lost a little bit of my fire... I don't want to say I've lost my passion.
I'll continue to use Mac [McNamee] to train me. He's one of a kind.
The soreness I have is expected. I have total movement.
Andy Pettitte is my friend...I think he misremembers.
I don't want to speak to two empty chairs.
The tradition you have at the University of Texas is like no other.
The reality is that my stepfather was like a father to me and watching him die from a sudden heart attack was one of the hardest things I have ever gone through.
I'd be cheating everyone here, the staff and rest of my teammates, if I wasn't able to stay on top of my work. It was almost like therapy, to come back and get in an environment I'm comfortable with.
When I tried the sandwich, I had to invest with Nolan Ryan in the Houston market.
