J. C. Watts Team Quotations

Affirmative action is a little like the professional football draft. The NFL awards its No. 1 draft choices to the lowest-ranked team in the league. It doesn't do this out of compassion or guilt. It's done for mutual survival. They understand that a league can only be as strong as its weakest team.

Our team is pretty unique because we're all so close. If you're scared to do a trick, you know you have to do it because the team needs you to do it.

We've been coming so close. We just don't have that one player who will put the rest of the team on her back and take them the rest of the way. I've got plenty of girls with talent but no one has stepped to the podium yet.

I've told them that if they can stick around for a couple years, we could be pretty good. There's not a team in the area that's got sophomores as good as what I've got.

I'm not that happy with my personal performance, but honestly, it doesn't matter that much to me because our team did good. That's what I'm more worried about.

I'm happy about our team performance. We were close to our school record (109.55) and we had nowhere near our full potential. That really psyches us up for the rest of the season. We know what we're capable of doing.
