Oklahoma Quotations | Page 4

We are very grateful to have come here and I am very proud of my team. Oklahoma played very good. They transition well and they are a really well coached team.

Defendant does not intend to profit in any way from the Oklahoma City bombing tragedy and in the event this court imposes no fine, or a nominal fine, and does not order restitution to exceed $4,100, the defendant will sign and file with the court an agreement and promise not to profit from the Oklahoma City bombing tragedy.

Companies like Dell succeed because they only hire the best and the brightest. We are proud that these upcoming graduates are prepared to compete for the kind of opportunities being offered by Dell in Oklahoma City.

It's hard to not feel happy about a win, but that was not our best game. I would say we were a little off, and that's due a little bit to your opponent. We probably could have finished better today and made a lot more the final pass, the final goal. Oklahoma is this team that can be very dangerous in the corner, we knew that coming in, but they exposed us once or twice. But, it never broke down the team. Overall, team defense was pretty good today.

New Orleans is our home, and we are committed to rebuilding that great city and playing there again. But at the same time, we feel that it's important to acknowledge the way Oklahoma has embraced this team. Wearing an Oklahoma City jersey is the biggest way we can say thank you for a very special season.

Obviously I'm very proud of our players. We needed that. Oklahoma State needed that. I kept telling them all week long that if they would work hard and listen, then good things would happen and they would be rewarded.

When you look at programs like Nebraska, Oklahoma and Florida State and Ohio State and others and you see the retired numbers there, we felt like this was a logical progression that we needed to really consider. We have a great football heritage, and maybe we need to start recognizing that more so.

This is the first place I wanted to go. I was originally drafted by the Cardinals out of high school in 1995. I'm from Oklahoma and I grew up a Cardinals fan.

This is the first of my 12 teams at Oklahoma that have practiced harder than they played. They practiced and competed hard this week. But come game time they didn't play as hard as they should have.

Expanding our footprint in Oklahoma is part of overall strategic plan. The Tulsa launch went extremely well. We plan on winning this market by offering competitive rates and investing in our popular user-friendly features.
