funny interview, Major is a real classy guy. Always been a fan of him

great response:

Do you think anybody there will give you a hard time about the fact you only beat them 18-13 in 1999? Have they already?

Yes, and this is what I mean. To find satisfaction in playing Texas to a five-point game is below the bar that we want to set. If the expectations are to only win a few games then why have a program? We are here as a new staff to change the expectations and mold these players into winners.

[EagleMBA]

Major talks like a coach...losing is not in his vocabulary...he has high expectations for his players...very POSITIVE message.

The kind of coach I played for years ago.

The message our men need to hear from our current staff.

In 2002, when we played UT, Opie dissed Booger on the post game radio show, even though he played a great game. I had a positive opinion before that. What was he able to accomplish at Syracuse?

[NT91]

He would be a good head man for NT someday.

[FirefightnRick]

As an athlete on a team, there are really only a few opinions that really matter ... your coach, your teammates, and your own.

Soooo, there's really no reason to discuss what anyone else say's or thinks about you as an athlete. Then I take that to mean there is no reason to discuss it, privately or publicly?

Hmm, interesting concept.
