I've lost a little bit of my fire... I don't want to say I've lost my passion.

Going to Omaha for the College World Series - the people there are tremendous - huge crowds and a lot of excitement. I still remember those days - you make a lot of friends that you never forget when you win a championship like that.

Andy Pettitte is my friend...I think he misremembers.

The tradition you have at the University of Texas is like no other.

I had to will my way through that game. Sometimes, it takes more than talent or more than a 95-mile-an-hour fastball. You have to will it.

I wasn't scared (during his first at-bat). I just told them (Mo Vaughn & Kevin Mitchell') to give me all that hockey equipment (forearm pad & shin guard respectively).

Some of my finest memories are from my time at the University of Texas. College baseball, I love it.
