Since our pageant master is MIA, the need to carry on the spirit of his commentary is all the more profound.

Last week's kickoff to the weekly fun was a rousing success, with Kahuna, in particular, rocking the show. Jason Mayer was right there with him. Both will receive t-shirts.

This week's challenge: Quotes From Darrell Royal.

If you need help finding quotes to work into your commentary this week, start here.

Taking a pass

Last week was fun, but I'm getting married on Saturday and spending the two weeks after that in Mexico so I won't be able to partake in the reindeer games for a while.

And, as DKR once said, I used to care more about the score than I do now...

So take that.

congrats Kah................

Like DKR once said:

"The good news is there's 17 million people who care about Texas football. The bad news is there's 17 people who care about Texas football".

I include you in "good" 17 million.

Have a safe trip..................

Congratulations

Marriage is a wonderful thing. "I know that the odds are against a marriage lasting 60 years." Regardless, best of luck to you and yours, and may you make it 60 years or more.

Congrats Kah

Not so much on the marriage, but the 2 weeks in Mexico! Can't beat it.

Anyways, Here is to another week of good quotin. After all, "I just live one day at a time, and scratch where it itches." - DKR

"A lot of people look for the easy way to do anything, in swimming there is no easy way." - Eddie Reese

thanks PB

Although I might have to bow out of this week's challenge. It's a lot easier for me to use something when it's already floating around in my head. Having to look these up will be too difficult.

Great quote

Back to the story I was telling in this diary...

My scholarship donor was telling Royal that when Royal was hired (at age 32), the donor was still a UT student, and that if he were in charge of UT football, there's no way he would have hired Royal.

Royal's response was, "If I were in charge, there's no way I would have hired me either."

DKR Quotes

I think this was one of the classics: On Baylor DKR said "They are like a cockroach, it isn't what they eat or carry off, it's what they fall into and mess up"

The quote page

that is first in Google says that was in reference to TCU.

Either way a great quote.

I always enjoyed Coach Royal's quotes, but . . .

. . . in one last word of appreciation to Kevin Durant, I really really like a saying Kevin shared that he had learned from his father (and I've never heard this quote before):

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

The truth that is locked up within that statement is amazing. Long after Kevin has played in several NBA All-Star games, I will still remember that quote.
