Bowl Quotations | Page 3

For the Super Bowl period, we're looking at that sometime in December to make sure that we've got the product ordered, delivered and in our stores when we need it.

For viewers to leave their TV sets during the Super Bowl to log on to the Victoria's Secret's site is amazing.

If it wasn't totally out of control before, it certainly is now. There are many who have been seriously attacked. There is also a very poor population who may come in and want even a bowl or a plastic mat or bucket to help improve their lives.

I give them a tremendous amount of credit. They put the bowl above their own personal problems and made it something special. Everyone from top to bottom was impressed with the job we did. It gave us a feeling that if we could handle this, we can handle just about anything.

If we win this league and go to a BCS bowl game, the rest of it, I think, will fall into place.

He's had a tremendous career, ... He's been there 40-some years, whatever it is, six decades, (won) three Super Bowl championships. He's been the commissioner of the AFL, been a coach.

He trusts us, but I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that we are an older team now. He might have handled it differently if we were younger or hadn't been to a bowl before.

He was the unsung hero in the one-day series against South Africa and Sri Lanka (in India late last year). Hopefully, he will enjoy the challenge here and bowl well.

He will be monitored on a constant basis and should he show sufficient improvement and be able to bowl symptom-free, a decision on when he will join the tour will be taken at that time.

He has a feel for our personnel. He can kind of give his teammates some pointers, and us having him here, our coaches and players have a feel for him. He looks really good, really exceptional. He looks like a guy that's trying to get back to Super Bowl form. We all know that he's a competitor and a hard worker so he's gonna come in here and try to put together a good showing.

He did a great job and got us into a bowl game, beat FSU (Florida State) at FSU. I think it takes a special person to do that and a lot of toughness.

He is a Pro Bowl receiver. I think what he has done this year kind of really shows what this team's about. We've asked him to block like a tight end this year and he couldn't care less as long as we're doing whatever it takes to win.

He is not going to be a part of the bowl game, will not be traveling, will not be a part of practice. His status in the future is outside of my control.

He is a clutch player, a class athlete, he's great in the clubhouse and he has three Super Bowl rings. He just adds stature to your team.

He had a big ego. His comments to me in the locker room were, 'They need to play me. I'm better than those guys.' We had a Pro Bowl quarterback (Chris Miller) and I could see why he was still sitting, but he felt he was better than them. Why he was doing what he was doing, I have no idea. I think if you ask him he probably couldn't answer it either.

Having extra time to get started has made things easier. I have time to make breakfast instead of grabbing just a small bowl of cereal.

He looks exceptional. He looks like a guy trying to get back to his Super Bowl form.

He never had the daily repetitions of a mike learning curve, the reads, the reactions, the fits and drills. It was kind of a season in learning. When he began to start to play pretty well is when he had that little injury and didn't really play well again until the bowl game.

We expect to get their best shot. They're not the defending Super Bowl champions for no reason.

There is no food in Charity Hospital. They're eating fruit bowl punch and that's all they've got to eat. There's minimal water,

We're one step closer to winning the Super Bowl and being world champions. It's definitely the first part of our magical season.

We've found they do have a lot of personality. I have my betta bowl on top of my fish tank, and he'll follow me around the room. If I sit down, he's right over there looking at me.

We've elevated this program to a level of a BCS bowl where there is no doubt that you're one of the top teams in the nation. To see that change over the last few years, that to me is my number one memory.

We thought we were going to the Super Bowl for a number of years.

We are extremely grateful to our sponsors and partners that make Motown Winter Blast possible. We have created an incredible backdrop for Super Bowl XL and we're excited to share it with the world.

To get a Super Bowl ring and L.T.'s sack record. That's what I want,

To finish second in the SEC East is a wonderful season for our team. Obviously, we were not picked that high. To qualify for a bowl game, that was our big goal for our team. We felt it was achievable and realistic and our guys went out and won seven games to go to the bowl game.

To find a quarterback to take you to the Super Bowl in our offense is very, very important. We were able to do that in Year 3.

Having been in the situation before, you kind of know what to expect. But the game-winner in the Super Bowl at the end of the game is never an easy kick, no matter how many times you've gone through it. None of us are perfect. Every one of the people I mentioned, there's times where they aren't able to come through.

He's a class act - a bloke that I thought had the perfect action. Just the way he went about his business - he had aggression when he needed it and then he could go back and bowl his line and length. He's a fantastic role model for the kids.

He's a gamer. If we had a player like him, we'd have been in the Super Bowl this year.

Here we're playing a team that went to a bowl game last year - and won. That's a confident group. They're like 11-2 at home the past couple of years or something. They're used to playing well at home, it's going to be a big crowd and I know they're going to be excited. It's going to be a great test for us to play in that environment.

Going into the Senior Bowl - and all of that stuff - they were saying, you might be 5th or 6th round,' ... Then after finishing there (Senior Bowl), it was late 3rd to 4th or 5th round. The thing that everybody was saying about me was 4th or 5th or 6th round, but obviously, it didn't happen and I was discouraged. But you've got to make the best of the situation.

Going into the Big East was all they stressed to me while I was being recruited, that and the bowl games. I knew I wanted to be part of something new.

Going to the Super Bowl and winning the Super Bowl. That would be it.

Going to the bowl and coming out, that's the mile that makes or breaks races.

Going through a Super Bowl week without something like this would be unusual.

He's got Pro Bowl ability. Obviously, he's a guy we really couldn't afford to lose.

He shared my concerns and my thoughts that if we had the opportunity to add a guy who's experienced, who's played and who's won and who's taken his team to the Super Bowl that would be in the best interest of the football team,

His performance in the Rose Bowl was one for the ages. I'm glad I saw it in person and glad I have it on tape.

Historically, it's not uncommon for a Super Bowl ticket to go for several thousand dollars. There are some rich people who wouldn't think twice about spending that kind of money.

HISTORY' means the goal this year was to go make history and win a bowl game. Rutgers has never won a bowl game. So we'll try to make history. That's been (the goal) since spring ball.

The Pac-10 presidents are very strongly and unanimously opposed to any extension of the bowl season into January. ... It's not about money with our presidents. It's strictly a philosophical decision.

We have to be patient. We have to get our hands up and try to tip some passes or disrupt some passes. We watched them against the Raiders and Brady just keeps that machine going over there. They're still the defending Super Bowl champions, two years after we played them. That tells you something.

He's played outstanding this year. He's kind of like the heart of this team, and for him not to make the Pro Bowl as a starter, it's not a slap in the face, but it probably hurt him.

He was 25 games above .500 as a head coach and took teams to the Super Bowl and four playoff appearances. The fact that he got fired by the Rams is a travesty. All the sudden they think they're the Yankees because they have one down year.

He wants to get to the Super Bowl quick, and he wants to get to the Derby quick. That's the kind of owner we need. Someone who wants to do it quick.

He wants to bowl in the tough situations, he wants to bowl when the field is up and he wants to bowl at the death. He wants to be in the mix of things and he's a much more aggressive character, he's a wicket taker - at least he wants to take wickets - so hopefully that will produce wickets down the line.

He (Vaughan) sets a field and the boys just bowl to it, bowl to the plan and execute it perfectly,

He can't bowl at this stage, but his form in Australia warrants that he will certainly be considered as a batter, probably at number six.

He definitely took a lot of pressure off of me. Our main goal from there was just to get bowl eligible and make it to any bowl that would accept us.

He'd bowl his way in there, make a spin, a shot and draw the foul. He controlled the game ... in the second half.

He let me wear his Super Bowl rings for about 30 seconds. It was awesome.

Half of the Super Bowl advertisers are buying search-supported material, up about 100 percent from last year.

Kind of like the Super Bowl before the game. All the fireworks and the music blasting.

Kevin showed me so much as far as what it takes to be a true pro. If I'm fortunate enough to go to the Pro Bowl this year, I'm paying for Kevin, his wife and kids to go, too.

Jamal's a house. I tried to tackle him in the Pro Bowl a couple times and he's not an easy guy to bring down. He's a big boy and he runs hard. We've got our work cut out for us. We've got to stay in our gaps and be sure tacklers.

Jamal's a house, ... I tried to tackle him in the Pro Bowl a couple times and he's not an easy guy to bring down. He's a big boy and he runs hard. We've got our work cut out for us. We've got to stay in our gaps and be sure tacklers.

I would say this probably compares to our first time, Super Bowl IX. It's very similar, these young guys we have, just like the players then. It's really their turn, their time up. The kind of people they are, it's a close team, they've done things the hard way although it probably worked out, home and away.

Just like a Super Bowl football team, you need a game plan to pull off a successful party. That plan begins with the decision to throw a party and doesn't end until you return the last rented or borrowed item.

Just to see them grow as a team, to join Conference USA, now in the Big East, it's great. To me, it's amazing they made a bowl game. To see where they are now, what they are doing.

Just recently the doctors cleared me 100 percent to begin getting ready for the upcoming season. The team, with a couple of pieces, can be a Super Bowl champion. I believe that and I'm sure my teammates do as well.

Jones has come down here to get some bowling training under my guidance. To bowl in Indian conditions would be a bit difficult for him and if he is a little more effective with new ball, Jones will be a complete bowler.

John Elway , when I was an assistant, sent me to the Pro Bowl a couple of times.

I take this game personally. I was on the sidelines last year (in Texas' 38-37 Rose Bowl victory against Michigan). I had tears in my eyes. I wanted to be a part of it so bad.

I think it means nothing. If that were true, then teams that have been in the playoffs would be in the playoffs and the Super Bowl every year. I think it's a whole new season. It's a new game, it's a new season.

I think it is better for Indianapolis. They have a lot of pressure taken off of them. Now they can concentrate on going to the Super Bowl and winning.

I think it's been blown way out of proportion. (My name was brought into this) because they might have known I was friends with Jeremy, but I didn't give him tickets to the bowl game. They're placing the blame on me like I'm the one who's doing all this crazy stuff, but it didn't happen like that.

I think it's important that people enjoy the Super Bowl and have fun, but have some healthy, good-tasting foods to go with it.

It could have been better, I bowled balls in bad areas, I thought I could bowl better and more consistently.

It comes down to experience. You look around the locker room and we've got talent - five guys in the Pro Bowl and a whole gang of honorable mentions. The whole year was a learning experience that we can come back next year and build on.

It is a good seaming pitch that has a green top. But I would advise the quickies of both the teams not to get carried away and try to pitch the ball up to extract seam movement instead of spraying the ball all over in an effort to bowl fast.

It is a concern, it was a huge loss. It meant myself and (Justin) Kemp had to bowl when we didn't want to.

I think the fans had visions of us going to the Super Bowl this year. So I think it's kind of been a lot of disappointment for a lot of people. But we'll see how we pull out of this.

It is going to take a lot of hard work to bowl them out but we still believe we can go out there tomorrow and do the job. I'd rather be in our changing-room than in theirs at this stage.

I was convinced that we would come out here and it would be a real celebration, that it would be a culmination of our season. But I'm looking forward to being out here and really enjoying this time, soaking this all in just as I did the Super Bowl last week, and just get ready to move forward.

I was disappointed that I did not play the first three one-day matches. I was picked for playing the fourth but unfortunately i did not bowl as well as I hoped.

I was determined to bowl well after not performing up to standard the previous evening.

I think we can play spoilers. If we can't go to a bowl, let's make sure they don't get to go to a bowl either.

I think anybody who can look at it in a common-sense manner - they went from a Super Bowl team to a 4-4 team that's in last place in the division. And there's probably a lot of reasons for that, but I think the more glaring reason is the controversy that's gone on since the Super Bowl.

I think an XL shirt might be a little too small for Jerome, but Super Bowl Forty is a good size for him. It's just a great opportunity.

I think it was time for Jake to move out of the situation he was in and get a fresh start. And the Pro Bowl quarterback that you see now is something that's probably been in him all the time. He's finally getting a chance to go out on the football field and put those skills to work.

It gives us something to fight for. They felt they won the Super Bowl after they beat us. They were the better team then, but I think we can turn the tables.

It has been a heck of a ride. We get the opportunity to go down in history among some of the greatest players. This is what the Super Bowl is all about.

It isn't my Super Bowl of racing like it is for a lot of people. I didn't grow up in stock cars. I was an open-wheel guy.

I think that's more of a compliment to the offenses I've been part of. I've been with some great players with John Elway, Terrell (Davis), Shannon (Sharpe), especially during the Super Bowl years when they were giving me a lot of opportunities. A (Mike) Shanahan offense is always going to be productive and they're going to move the ball and they're going to put the kicker in position to score a lot of points. It's more of a tribute to them than it is to me.

It is like writing the game plan for the Super Bowl the day after it was played.

It is like sending out the quarter back from the Super Bowl to work with the high school team.

Life's great for me. Expectations are low. I've got a Super Bowl ring on one finger and a $14 million contract in the other hand. We're doing it, we're doing OK. Life's good.

I went and got tapes because it's my last bowl and I wanted a good memory of it.

I was watching the Senior Bowl film and saw him catch a touchdown pass. It was that same great adjustment to the ball (like Santana Moss) on a ball that was thrown over his head and to the outside. He reached at the last second to catch it.

I went to the Senior Bowl and told myself I'm going to answer the question about this competition thing once and for all,

I was just disappointed. You know, Adam has been a big part of this team for a number of years and his game-winning kicks, Super Bowl kicks, and all that, so he will be missed by his teammates, but it's just the nature of the business. He will be forever etched in the memories of New England sports fans.

I think the true football fan will have plenty to watch on Super Bowl Sunday. The chance to see two quality defenses go at it is a part of football.

I think there will be opportunities for me, as I've talked preliminarily with the networks. I wanted to do the Super Bowl to see if I enjoyed it. It will all be sorted out soon.

Just getting to the bowl is a big thing, but losing is an even bigger thing. Winning always is important, and losing always is disappointing.

Jerome has just meant so much to us. For him to go out the way he went out (as a Super Bowl champion), if I was retiring and my career was towards the end, that's how I would want to go out.

Jerome has inspired each individual on this team in some form or way. He kind of inspires us to go out and play hard so we can get him that Super Bowl ring and end on a great note.

Jeff had a lot of good friends and taught a lot of people to bowl and be consistent,

Jesus did. I was hopping along, when suddenly he comes and cures me. One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next moment me livelihood's gone. Not so much as a by your leave. Look. I'm not saying that being a leper was a bowl of cherries. But it was a living. I mean, you try waving muscular suntanned limbs in people's faces demanding compassion. It's a bloody disaster.
