I liked the way he called for daddy when he was in the locker room. "Daddy! I won't win a national championship and at least Bradford won a heisman. Can we just leave and go back to Texas?"

Nothing that remains south of the Red River is a "class act"

Mack Brown, "I held him out of the game in order not to jeopardize his future in the pros!"

Give me a frickin' break!

There was a beautiful Mexican girl, named Maria Sanchez, that attended
U.S. Grant. I've often wondered if she was a member of the family. She
was gorgeous!

Hey, Maria! Do you remember me? Short, long hair, got a swat everyday
from Coach Wooden! Yes, everyday!

Okay, I've got L for Loratab, M for Mexican girl and S for swats.
