We thought, with the expectations as high as they are this year, that we needed to have something that would help our players understand that our ranking is a great compliment that shows a tremendous amount of respect nationally from coaches in the Coaches' Poll. It's not about just football, it's about a philosophy in life.
More Quotes from Mack Brown:

I took the media guide and showed our players all the great All-Americans and all the Heisman Trophy winners at Ohio State so they would appreciate the history at the school. I showed them a picture of Coach Hayes because I knew he would be honored there. I want them to know what's going on. I told them when they're 54, they'll look back on this as a great moment in their lives and that they need to play good and they need to win.

That says a lot about the history of the two schools and the games. People have told me that the two schools are very similar. They are two of the biggest state institutions in the country, both very good academic schools and are in the capital (cities). We each have a lot of fans and a lot of talk and publicity about football. (Football) is really important at both places.

I can appreciate all the things we've done here, and I can also understand what we haven't gotten done. I appreciate the one and I don't like the other. I'm fighting my butt off to help us win conference titles and national championships.
