They tried to separate themselves from Coach Royal, all the tradition and build their own dynasties and it hasn't worked. We've been close to the edge (of a national championship) maybe four or five times these last 35 years, but we haven't got it done.

It never ceases to amaze me that people care so much about a football game that happened 35 years ago. But that's Texas football.

We've got all this great tradition, we've got all the money.
