Mack Brown Enjoy Quotations

Let's shut it up and kick it off and let people enjoy the game. Hopefully, both teams will play well enough that the game lives up to the hype because sometimes they don't.

Our fans have been able to enjoy a national title game again. ... Now, they'll want to enjoy one every year, and that's OK. We expect to be at the Fiesta Bowl playing for the national title next year.

What we're going to do is enjoy this run right now. We'll be in spring practice Feb. 24 and get ready to start over because next year's team hasn't won a game.

We felt like we wanted to go back and look at some things, and we also wanted the guys to enjoy a good weekend without having too much pressure of trying to understand where they fit right now.

The message is we are one of the top two teams in the country. We won by 62, and that's without running it up. We have to enjoy this ride, enjoy this moment.

It helped us understand that all of the hype around the game is totally unimportant unless you enjoy it. Don't fight it and don't get nervous about it: enjoy it. I had a great time the week of the Ohio State game. I had never been to that stadium and I was like a kid walking in there like a fan. It was fun for our group to have all the odds against us because that doesn't happen very much for us. And that's where we are again. We've earned the right to be here but the odds are against us. And that's a good position for us to be in.

Good teams enjoy the hype, and they have the ability to focus. Young people come to Texas and SC for this game, and it's been a long time for us to get back to this game, and we took a baby step last year in this environment. I've talked to the kids about it. The only difference between this year and last year is the stakes are bigger.

It was a fun week and a great game. The difference in that and our last game with Michigan was we could enjoy that one for six months. Now we've got to go back to work this week, and look forward to Rice coming in, and stop talking about Ohio State.

These two teams have been talked about every day for a month. Good teams enjoy the hype.

This is a great test for us and a great challenge for the Big 12 and Big Ten conferences. You have to enjoy a game that matches two teams where Woody Hayes and Darrell Royal once coached, and there's a ton of tradition there.

I told them they need to enjoy this tonight and not talk about OU, ... We can start talking about OU after we watch tape tomorrow, which is the way it should be.

How many people get this moment? We want our guys to enjoy it.
