Rick Ryan Kids Quotations

It's the first time we've beaten Hotchkiss in my lifetime. We are hot right now. There's no magic wand. These kids are talented, and they've started to believe.

For nine years I taught Aspen to hate purple, to beat purple, and we did. This is bittersweet because I love the kids at Aspen. It was out of everybody's hands.

You just don't want to offend anyone in a game like this, but at the same time you don't want to tell your kids not to try. I really didn't know what to do. I really care about a lot of the kids over there, and the last thing you want to do is pound them down.

This was a great ball game and a great win, considering all of the luggage that came with it. This completed the circle. I'll always have love for the kids in Aspen, but I'm a Longhorn now.
