Spike Dykes Quotations

We ran probably two-thirds of the time, ... It was a different game than what Mike Leach does. They like to pass the ball. Texas will have to be very aware of that Saturday.

Making Horseshoe Bay into a city isn't going to get that water cooler fixed (at the golf course). People complain 'They fired the tennis pro' or 'They fired the golf pro.' Well, the Dallas Cowboys fired Tom Landry.

He'll look at a player's demeanor on film and decide what the player had for dinner and how he's feeling and what his girlfriend told him last night,

It has been a long time coming. But a lot of schools can say that, a lot of great football schools. Not many get a chance to do this. You can have a great team and be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Look at Auburn last year.

I was there for Darrell Royal's last five years, ... He's a good friend of mine.

I think he's popular in the coaching community because he is different, ... You've got a guy here who's not afraid to do what he wants and doesn't care what anybody thinks. I think sometimes they think he's crazy, but crazy like a fox.

With all due respect, it's not like beating TCU, ... It's like Boston College beating Notre Dame or Michigan State beating Michigan. The Texas game is what everything is gauged by here in the state. It's the biggest game for Texas Tech. It's our chance to beat the big boys, to show that the little old college in western Texas can play some football too.

We don't need to get all sideways on this incorporation deal -- we don't need to rush into anything.

There's nothing better when it comes to football in Texas than this game,

He and I will be at the game, but no, we won't be sitting on same side of the field, ... And besides my son, Sonny, is the co-offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach at Texas Tech.

Oh, we played about like three tons of buzzard puke this afternoon.

They whipped us like a tied up goat.
