Don't get starry-eyed and run down the ramp and step in some damn cow (stuff). I had coaches do that, too. It didn't happen to me. I was smarter than they are. I've been down the ramp too many times. I had a scouting report on Bevo and where he went in and what side he went down.

I never had any superstitions. That doesn't have a damn thing to do with who wins or loses football games, what socks you wear or underwear or how you tie your tie or whatever. What happens in those 60 minutes between those two teams determines who's going to win that football game.

My first one as a head coach, we beat them 52-13 and hung half a hundred on ‘em. So that's my favorite one. That was good. I had a couple runs where I beat them four times in a row, twice. That's about eight games. It's a great game to win and I was fortunate enough to win. Probably should've won two more that were ties. We should've won the damn game.

I'd like to do those over. We were the better team. But I don't know. Hell, it doesn't make any difference. What happened, happened. It's just two games that I think about that I wish I would've been able to kick the extra point. We didn't even get to kick the extra point in ‘76. Guy that didn't get to kick it, never missed one in his career, so there was a good chance he was going to make that one. And bobbled the snap, didn't get to kick it. Then we got two poor calls at the end of the ‘84 game. We intercepted the ball in the end zone and they didn't give it to us. Plays like that, poor officiating.
